Making blocks smaller - possible ?
Making blocks smaller - possible ?
Is it possible to make a smaller size of blocks ? I like how Minecraft looks like, but how about Minetest ? Is it possible to make it smaller ? Thanks !
Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?
do you mean small blocks? or making the entire game smaller, so that more fits on the screen?
for small blocks, it's possible.
the moreblocks mod has a tool to make blocks with the nodebox drawtype. it can make microblocks, which have 1/4 the size of a normal block.
for the graphic size, i don't know.

Something similar to Minecraft. I'm thinking to a size of Minecraft blocks :)

Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?
Minecraft blocks are a different size?
Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?
Quite smaller with more smoother textures. Tbh original ones from MT are terrible.
Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?
Really?
I think this is mostly a matter of perspective. I mean, you could make the character bigger and thus everything else would look smaller (the camera would be slightly higher).
If you wanted to make both the character and the world smaller, proportionally, and moved the camera accordingly to fit the character head it would look exactly the same and you would't see a difference in the size of the blocks...
It makes no sense to me that in Minecraft the blocks are smaller because the characters are also almost 2 blocks tall and 1 block thick.. which is basically the same size as in Minetest.
Just look for a texture pack that you like.

Maybe this is what you actually mean, and not really the size.Silwncer wrote:with more smoother textures.

I think what your thinking is the FOV.... the camera is zoomed out by default in minecraft.... so the blocks seem a quite smaller.... Minetest is seeing the blocks as their true size.

Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?
Both Minecraft and Minetest are meant to have 1x1x1 meters blocks, so...
I think changing your FOV will help. Does anybody knows how to change fov?

Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?
It would actually be quite interesting of nodes were half as tall/wide/long as one meter,... but it would only be good if the terrain scale remains the same relative to the player scale, so the world limits would have to somehow end up being ~62,000 in all directions from origin instead of ~31000 in all directions from origin - or the terrain generation scale would have to be doubled.
However, if nodes were to be made larger, such that the player is one node tall, we would need jetpacks or rocketboots in order to go up ledges (either that or some form of ledge climbing system like in Plazma Burst 2)
This setting is a good candidate for the next to be added to the main menu settings tab.

Field of View can be configured via the minetest.conf file. Setting is "fov = <some integer value>", which is 72 by default. Set it to something like 100, 120, or 150 for larger Field of View.Dragonop wrote:Does anybody knows how to change fov?

Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?
Agree, and thanks, did somebody already made a request on Github about this needed setting?
Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?
This definitely needs to be smaller. How to edit conf file ?
Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?
Just open the minetest.conf with notepad, it's in your minetest installation directory.
Then add tjhe line: fov=100
I just did it and it's a nice compromise between too much of a distortion (120 is too much already for me, imho) and having a wider field of view to see more of the world.
Perhaps the default of 72 is too narrow.
Off-topic: Do any of you, minetest.conf ninjas know how to make the "F5" information stats show always by default when you start a new world?

Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?
Where to add ?
Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?
what do you mean? just add a new line anywhere inside that file
Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?

Sure :)Ferk wrote:Off-topic: Do any of you, minetest.conf ninjas know how to make the "F5" information stats show always by default when you start a new world?
Code: Select all
# Whether to show the client debug info (has the same effect as hitting F5)
show_debug = true
Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?
I've tried this and it doesn't work, it just makes view smaller, i need blocks to be smaller . I have Minecraft texture pack .
Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?
A screenshot of what you want would be useful as MT already has everything MC have in terms of the size of blocks: there are microblocks, stairs, slabs, chiseled blocks and much more.
Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?
The only way to make a virtual world smaller is to either alter the view (fov, resolution, etc), or make your character big to change the perception (but this last thing would make it different from minecraft, which I don't think it's what you want).
Why do you exactly need them to be smaller, and how do you even know whether they are actually bigger?
It would help if you took screenshots or something.

Are you talking about making the blocks smaller to fit a texture pack?
Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?
They're huge, Minecraft have so much beautiful .

Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?
I think that maybe we could help you more if you would explain exactly what you mean, because both Minetest and Minecraft blocks are the same size.
Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?
Maybe what you mean is the size of the pixels in the texture of the blocks?
Were you able to actually use the texture pack?

Re: Making blocks smaller - possible ?
Both MC and MT's blocks are 1 metre, however MC are rendered on the screen smaller than MT's, it appears.
