You need to increase the 'max_block_generate_distance' setting as well as 'max_block_send_distance'.

This is expected in mgv5 and mgv7, they both occasionally generate floating chunks of terrain, if such a chunk is in the water that is the result.
Reducing the 'persistence' of the 3D noise parameters to 0.5 or 0.4 will make floating terrain less common.

Gael de Sailly, This is very interesting. It is a subject i have often thought about. Even your current simple experiments look really good. I did notice your screenshot in the screenshots thread a while ago and wondered what that was. I really like the highland lakes, in the past i tried so hard to...

KGM, Rubenwardy is one of the highest contributing and most trustworthy core devs. Celeron55 trusts him. He discusses CDB development in-depth with others in the IRC development channel. Decisions in Minetest development are not decided by the community or by polls, they are decided by the core devs...

By 'radically redesign' i meant 'a significant redesign', which it is. I did not mean 'a radical design' or 'unintuitive'.

This mod is completely different to MTG 'weather' mod. The use of particles in 'snowdrift' is network-intensive, particle-intensive and a little problematic, so i am not sure it is suitable to use 'snowdrift' features in MTG. We are somewhat waiting for engine improvements. Particles are currently i...

It is not certain yet if MT will ship with no games, it has just been suggested and 2 core devs like the idea. If it does ship with no games, the main menu will, of course, be redesigned to very clearly guide a user to download a game from the Content Database, and MTG will be clearly displayed as o...

New version released for use with MTEngine 5.2.0.

MoNTE48,
I want to apologise for my post earlier in this thread that was offensive to MultiCraft.
It was excessively cynical and i do not believe everything i wrote in it.
I have now edited it to remove the offensive comments.

> The simplest I can think of is going to the decoration definition and adding: 'place_offset_y = 1,'

This.

There are plans to radically redesign the MT main menu.
Also it is possible that MT will ship with no games (i support this), you will download games using the content database.
Importantly, the focus on MTG will be removed, it will just be another game amongst the many.

Celeron55 needs more donations to cover his MT expenses, so you can donate to improve forum speed.
As is often the case the answer is: It is a free game.

Yes it will be possible in 5.3.0 if the new floatland generation code is merged.

> not even MTG, which is supposed to be clean and functional, has the right textures. It does, the textures were very carefully optimised to cope as best they can with the difficult-to-work-with scaling and offsetting. The appearence seems to vary according to device, so you see visual glitches i do...

> Is it possible to add an extra biome to a v6 world using lua? Not by registering a biome using the Biome API, mgv6 does not use the various Biome APIs.

I do not know of any documentation.
It was difficult when i made the new hotbar textures for MTG, lots of trial and error due to unusual scaling and offsetting.

We would like to split MTG content into many smaller mods, and anything that was easily split has already been split.
The only obstacle is maintaining mod compatibility, the huge amount of aliases and complex compatibility code that would be required, which would be a nightmare.

Dokimi, What you desire can somewhat already be done by using large numbers of biomes and for example, carefully surrounding a forest with 4 or so shrubland biomes on the voronoi diagram. As you suggest: > Many of the biomes I added exist because of ecological succession, NOT climate. The maximum nu...

Completely untrue, see how MTGame uses biome altitudes, each heat/humidty point has a vertical stack of up to 5 biomes. > Adding more biome axes might solve this problem too. The rings are created because th...

Hume2, Sorry if i was unclear, my previous post was replying to the thread author.
