[Mod]More uses for dirt[git][usesdirt]

by Dogzilla131 » Post

This adds more uses for dirt. You will always have a bunch of the stuff, but there never seemed to be much use for it before. Now there is. The new blocks are just decorative, with corresponding fences and ladders. There are also tools, furnaces, and chests.

Image
The leftmost block is a dirt furnace.

Download: https://github.com/HybridDog/usesdirt/a ... master.zip
...or browse the code: https://github.com/HybridDog/usesdirt
  • Version .2 adds tools
  • Version .3 adds chests
  • Version .4 increased the output of dirt cobblestone, plus I fixed the textures a little :-D
License: WTFPL for all Lua code, CC BY-SA for the textures

Depends: recent Minetest engine and minetest_game

Crafting:

This is the your basic dirt brick, made from nine plain dirt:

Six of those make a dirt brick fence:

Seven make a dirt brick ladder:
Image
Nine of those make dirt cobblestone:

Six dirt cobblestone make a dirt cobblestone fence:

Seven of them make a dirt cobblestone ladder:

Cooking dirt cobblestone makes a dirt stone:

Eight dirt stone around the edges, plus one plain dirt in the middle, make a dirt furnace, which behaves just like the default furnace:
Image
Using dirt stone and regular sticks in the standard axe recipe makes a dirt axe, as expected:

Dirt sword:

Dirt shovel:

Dirt pickaxe:
Image
Eight dirt stone with the center left empty make a dirt chest:
Image
Add a steel ingot to that to make a locked dirt chest:

More screenshots:
Spoiler
Version .3 added chests, which are harder to break than normal chests, since they are made of dirt stone. This is what they look like:

Cool, though I'd rename it some like Terracotta (though that's technically clay) or "Earthen" cause it sounds better than just "Dirt"

Have a bug, if you downloaded version .3, then downloaded the new link. The bug is that the furnace and the chest conflict each other.

The mod's code is under WTFPL, and the textures are under CC BY-SA, so, yes, you can (you must however keep the textures under the same license if you release them).

While I don't exactly maintain this mod, I'm just letting folks know I still have a repo of it at https://github.com/VanessaE/usesdirt where I've pushed a few changes just to keep it up to date for my game.

Good to know, VanessaE, beacause all the links in the first post are broken because Sendspace deleted the files. >_>

Wonderful idea and mod. However, I request 16x16 textures to fit in with the game.

Someone should make new textures to replace the horrible high resolution ones. Also, it seems that the furnace lets you see through the ground
