Slopes Should Exist

by Otter » Post

square edged banks of dirt do exist but they are not exclusive. Minetest makes for square edged banks of gravel, dirt and sand. We have walls and fences that adjust to the blocks around them. A soil that adjusted angles and made for smooth hillsides would be really cool. Especially if the plants in the block above appeared to adjust position and not float on top of them. Grass and flowers should not levitate the way they do on slabs.

What I propose is soft dirt, soft sand and soft gravel. This stuff will drop to half height and half of it will drop to a block beside it, if a block beside it is empty. kind of like very slow water that only falls to a 45 degree angle and does not entirely abandon the level above it. If grass or flowers are growing on it, it should not flow anymore, even when dug around. The half height block would act as a slab but it would display as a smooth angle between the blocks that are level with it and the blocks below it.

After snow is adjusted to blend in on this, ski accidents will be an inevitable addition to the game. Toboggans, sleds, and all sorts of additional ways to make players wish they had turned off damage.

+1 But I doubt it will.
Moreblocks is the very defnintion of a "mod", adding it to the minetest_game would make the game much heavier on resources, due to the number of nodes registered.

It's "Minetest Game" :)

... and no, it should not be a part of a subgame but a part of Minetest itself.

It looks like the solution to this is being made. I love the Natural Slopes Mod.

I know how to solve the plant problem:
Make them go one block into the groun, so even if you put a mircro slab the will still be attached.

This is a cool signature. :)
