Why? It's the wrong approach to check for features using version numbers. Instead you should check for the existence of any functions or methods that you need, or use the minetest.features table.
Spoiler
there is minetest.get_version() for informative reasons only

Well, cave decoration or underwater plants don't have functions or methods. Or is there a better way to check that except the version?

What do you mean by cave decoration or underwater plants?

New decoration features

Maybe it is not necessary because it is ignored by older versions, but I don't want to register unnecessary nodes

How can I set mapgen flags to a subgame? I tryed to set them in the subgames minetest.conf, but they will be ignored
I want to set
Code: Select all
mg_flags = caves, dungeons, light, decorations
mgv7_spflags = mountains, ridges, floatlands, caverns
I think I can set mg_flags with minetest.set_mapgen_params, but how can I set mgv7_spflags?
I tried
Code: Select all
minetest.set_mapgen_params({mgname="v7", flags = "caves, dungeons, light, decorations", mgv7_spflags = "mountains, ridges, floatlands, caverns"})
but mgv7_spflags will be ignored

Is it possible that decorations only spawn at the height of the heightmap? I tried to create a new ground on water level with an ore, which works, but I can't spawn any decoration on it

How know the generator (v5, v6, v7, etc) used for the generation map ?
I would like generated certains blocks in certains biomes only, so, i need to know that.
How could I make "connected blocks" with personnals walls blocks ?
If I add "stone" in groups, this is a problem because my blocks can be used for all stones craft, like furnaces and others, unfortunally there is no params for groups in walls.register function.
