Minetest Game removes the node in which your head is

by beaver700nh » Post

Hi all,

So sometime betwen logging out of a server and logging back in, Minetest Game removes the node that my head is inside. I discovered it by noticing that ladders would go missing in my base at the exact time and place where I would log out. If I logged out while on a ladder, it would remove the ladder on my head.

I started to get suspicious, so I tested my theory by using protection block lag to position my head inside a block of glass. After relogging, I found that the glass had indeed disappeared. Does anyone know why, how, or should this happen? Is it a bug or intentional? Because it can be used to grief protected builds.

ive seen issues similar to this, typically its some poorly coded mod adding light around the player (if they have a tool, in general, etc) usually this is done by placing and removing airlike node with a light source value, however when the player logs out it causes the issue. typically i have seen this on servers where people will giltch into a wall while punch and log off to delete protected nodes.

TLDR: look to see if you have any mods that add light around you with tools, items, etc

Thanks for the info. I have a mod like this, but it is extremely helpful and I don't want to remove it. What should I do instead?

try A B testing, with and without it loaded to confirm that is indeed the issue, if so, file a issue report where the code is hosted/forum/contentdb thread
