should be x==1 not x=1 in the if statement.

I saw this first and thought it was Arcanem, then I realized it's Thaumcraft.
You really should at least say it's based on thaumcraft dude.

I don't like this mod anymore, it's no longer supported. Also it's broken in the newest version of MT and I can't be bothered doing a last update.

The article says it's for 'all versions' of minecraft, but in reality it only affects bedrock since Java edition is almost entirely private servers.
The real reason everyone's nice on MC is... uh.. they aren't nice at all actually...

Runs was referring to minetest_game, which Is technically dead since it's now in support-only development. Hopefully it will be replaced at least (I'd rather there be no default game at all) but for now it's still the most used and most modded game.

One time I was playing while listening to music on YouTube, I had just download a bunch of mods and was testing them to figure out what each one do then suddenly a player start harassing me and calling me on chat. Now, the problem is, I wasn't playing on any server so how did this guy got into my g...

theres a big list floating around of all the things they stole from other similar games like vintage story Can you link this list? Would be interesting. -- The upcoming version 1.17.0 will have huge caves and "spaghetti" caves that look really similiar to what our wonderful mapgens can do...

I have before. It seemed like a tricky process and I don't have a reason to be that invested. (I plan to develop a commercial game for my engine, while that's impossible with MT) It's certainly possible, and has been done before - see kidscode. A fork won't change anything about the license, as for...

- Drop the multi-scripting, this will end up in desaster or at least will just be a huge time-waster with no real benefit. This whole idea is basically just to give devs something to do, instead of doing something that gives results. Players really couldn't care less about this. As I said, the Idea...

First of all, I think the idea of supporting multiple scripting languages is terrible. Maintaining Lua alone is already effort enough. Supporting two or even more will significantly . It also increases difficulty for modders because suddenly you will see mods in different languages, depending on di...

they just changed ores to drop lumps like mtg after 12 years of having it drop just the block :)

So i take it runs is still completely insane...

hehe thanks. Team structure and documentation are the most important of all my points, considering the eldritch ways of the MT core dev team, and the heinously bad documentation of the lua api. A wiki that's just plain wrong, a list of all the docs in a single messy file, and many user-made attempts...

I've been gone for a while (around two months), mostly because I've been frustrated with minetest's impracticality and lack of direction. While I've been away I've been doing a lot of thinking and minetest, and about programming and game/engine design in general. I want to make a fork of minetest th...

because of the restrictive license minetest uses it's basically impossible, since you have to make all your code free to use. this means you can't put it behind a paywall. you can license your own subgame or mod however you like, but they wont let you put it anywhere that relates officially to minet...

I am of the opinion that the engine should be called OpenCube or something similar, while MTG should keep its name.

i dont see why the liquid level paramtype shouldnt work for nodeboxes. waterlogging sounds like an easy addition.

Have fun in your Minecraft worlds! I hope you can enjoy it as much you're looking forward to it. If you'd like to keep your mods maintained by minetest-mods, you may post a repo transfer request . I don't think they will be developed actively, but at least user contributions (bug fixes or feature P...

Wow, of all the things this would turn into I didn't expect the focus to be yet another "Minecraft vs. Minetest" thread. My main reason for picking minecraft over other sandbox projects like vintage story etc. is that minecraft gets more new content in a month from the community than minet...

Minetest is getting pointless for me with how limited it is and how static the development seems. I'd rather deal with the pre-existing world and lore and just make minecraft mods, because while a modding API is better than making mods in the core language IMO, the usefulness of an API is limited by...

no good trying to big up Minetest when we do not have one decent showcase game as a standard .

the only ones that even qualify are nodecore and a literal MC clone. All the others are derivatives of MTG.

I think support for non-English character sets is a feature we should strive for, but I also think hex is right about how stupid emojis are. Moving beyond their arguments though, I think emojis look cheap and corny in general. One thing Minetest is hurting for, in my opinion, is smooth and clean vi...

packages now can't be approved if they require mods not yet on ContentDB. So, releasing own content now entirely depends on the willingness of other people to release their content on the CDB? Yes, because if a package can be on the CDB the whole thing, including the optional parts, should be avail...

Wasn't there a thing that worked in reverse, allowing you to bundle the game in the world folder?

there is for mods, but since worlds only show up in the correct game menu world-specific games would be impossible.
