Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to and a new type of liquid into the game(slime). I would like to even try to mode by myself (since I have a Lua/Love2d experience from my WIP project), bit I'm not sure where should I look at. Of course it would be possible. I recommend copying liquid co...

I'm thinking about making a mod that colorizes the player's skin. The player's skin texture would stay the same, but it would recoloured. I know how to colorize textures, but I don't know how to get the player's skin texture or set it.

You can use visual_size if you are defining an entity.

Technically, a non-formspec crafting system has been done before, but not as a mod and not at this level of detail.

Extex, This is a really great mod. Makes exploring caves and duanes geomoria far more creepy. One issue, one feature. Maybe. When standing next to any node, like with my side up against a cave wall, even when pointing into completely open space, the light beam goes dark. Since flashlights are usele...

I could see this mod going along with parkoursurvive.

By using Blender export I was able to make a .obj file, and that shows up in game.

I'm new to Blender and so far I've been able to make a basic space rocket model. For some reason, when ever I load it in game, Minetest crashes. I knew that the model was terrible, but I did not suspect that it would cause the game to crash. The file was originally a .blend file, but I renamed it to...

Thanks for adding fluid support. An underwater light tool is very useful for deep sea exploration.

The combat system hasn't been Minetest's best feature, so it's good to know that the development team has taken a step to improve it. When can this feature be a part of mobs mods?

I know that ABM stands for "Active Block Modifier," but what does LBM stand for?

Biome API decorations cannot be placed inside a volume of nodes. Biome API ores are placed in order of registration, so check you are registering the stratum ore first. Technically, the strata does not form a biome. I am registering the stratum ore first. I did some testing, and as it turned out, t...

Cool mod. I recommend exploring volcanos with molten_sailor.

Is it possible for mods to add ways to block/prevent the radiant damage (for example, a hazmat suit prevent the player from taking radiation damage)?

In a mod I have made, I have registered some strata (layers) in the sky. I want to register an ore in part of a stratum that spawns a schematic/decoration on generation, but for some reason the ore does not show up. How do I to make decorations on a stratum? If you need specifics, the mod is time_tr...

Thanks. ElCeejo made the dinosaurs, I just gave them a habitat.

IMO the main selling point of Minetest is not actually mods, but games. Games can be used instantly, but mods can only be used when you already understand a little bit of Minetest, about dependencies, etc. Games are more important because first and foremost, that's what people want to play. All pla...

Game Mechanics Note: I will be adding more detail to this section. Similarly to Spore, the game play mechanics can change between stages. Hint: you might look for some inspiration in C-evo, an open source strategic game based on the theme of rising civilizations. I don't want to discourage you, but...

Thanks for the response. I've made a time travel mod here featuring your mobs. Paleotest is a dependency, so updates to paleotest should show up. Credit has been provided to you.

In real life, molten material is called magma if it is underground and lava if it is above ground. In Minetest, molten material is always called lava. Ores are uniformly distributed, as opposed to being found in large concentrations in certain locations (mg_tectonic fixes this). Cooking a piece of r...

I did not know it existed.

That works, thanks.

I'm making a mod with two nodes that have "paramtype2=facedir". I'm trying to make a right-click function that replaces the first node with the second. The function works, but the the second node is placed facing south and does not face the same way as the first (unless the first was also ...

Cool and useful mod. If you are interested in expanding this mod, I suggest adding in another light tool that works underwater.

Edit: I just realized that making the light tool work in fluids is already on your todo list.
