Hello

This mod will introduce 12 decorational plants to minetest, these decoplants can be crafted by placing 8 leaves in square
shape in your crafting table, then put any dye in the middle and it will make a decoplant of it's color

Here i present my first mod it adds not 1 not 2 not 3 but 4 Decorative plants!
You can look at the crafting recipes in the Readme file (i don't think iv'e got the crafting working yet)
You need to put a i in all four crafting receipes
{'stick', 'stick', 'stick'},
{'stick', 'leaves', 'stick'},
{'st
ick', 'stick', 'stick'},

If the crafting dosen't work you can use creative mode to get them!

Here's is the download link https://dl.dropbox.com/u/102401091/decoplants.zip

Plus a screenshot https://dl.dropbox.com/u/102401091/scre ... 243559.png

Have fun!

I plan to add more exciting feature's! such as glowing decoplant's (when i learn how to) --> light_source = (see for example the glowglass in the moreblocks mod) I also plan on making more mod's!

And you are free to do whatever you wan't with this mod.

I also used one of VanessaE's junglegrass texture's as a rough guide.

Oh so that's why crafting was not working thank's for the info Topywo. I also wan't to change the crafting recipe's so it would match the dye colours in the default game. How would i do that?

Minor change made. Added a Pink Decoplant. This is not Version 2. EDIT: This is Version 2

You need to use the mod name before the craft items, instead of only the item name. Example:

{'default:stick', 'default:stick', 'default:stick'},
{'default:stick', 'default:leaves', 'default:stick'},
{'default:stick', 'default:stick', 'default:stick'},

I found this out by comparing your code with the crafting code in the default init.lua.

Thank's for the info Topywo. I also would like to know what are the default names of the default dyes in creative mode?

Forget about the dyes thing. I have made a new update which has simpler crafting. The crafting now works!

How do u change colours of the decoplants

Posted: Fri Sep 28, 2012 02:59
by Josh
I open mtpaint graphic editor (on linux that's what i use for graphics) Then i open any decoplant image and change the colour
with the pencil tool. Then i save it in the texture's folder under a different name then i register the new decoplant in init.lua and Viola!
a new plant has been added.
