You've come a long way from the prepackaged world of Minecraft.

1) Install Notepad++ or Gedit (or any IDE that does Lua)

2) Create a mod folder, say, newnode, and create a init.lua inside of that folder

3) Create a node definition with newnode:node and assign a random texture, eg default_wood.png or wool_white.png

4) Test it by using it in singleplayer with the giveme command, /giveme newnode:node -1

5) You have made your first mod.

can someone give me mapgen code that generates better things like caves,terrain and less water.
I dont know why but I feel I'm getting lots of ocean.
Once I got an entire world of ocean, there was only a few patches of land for about 1000 meters

can someone make a spiderman mod that has movement like smart moving mod in minecraft?

[Exilyth]

This has probably been mentioned already but I'll suggest it anyway... flower seeds/bulbs, so you can plant flowers.

I'm thinking of creating additional code & a texture for stu's 'minetest-3d_armor' mod: Carbon Fiber Boots, aka Long-Fall Boots.
Recipe:
"Coal Block" "" "Coal Block"
"Coal Block" "" "Coal Block"
"Wool:Black" "" "Wool:Black"
The idea is that with the boots equipped, instead of reducing combat damage like the other boots, they instead cut the damage taken from falling in half. For the most part, I can copypaste, say, Wooden Boots, and change the recipe. Then I can mod a texture so it's black rather than brown. Then I can remove the bit that causes the Wooden Boots to absorb combat damage and lose integrity.
The problem lies in that I have absolutely NO idea how to do the whole, "cut damage in half" bit for falling. I'd figure that after a set number of jumps that would normally deal damage, say 500 damage-inducing jumps, the boots would fall apart and you'd have to make new ones.
Help? Should I make a thread for this?

the switch for the monorail freezes my server

Someone should make a mod that gets rid of shadows, or at least tones them down. There a bit annoying.

[CaptainCanti]

Please! Will someone please make a mod that adds my little pony to minetest? I've been looking everywhere but can't find one. Please!

I actually started working on a Ponyville map a while ago, but ragequit because of Twilights hugeass tree library. Goddamn that thing was hard to make.

Did you finish it? Cuz if you did i would really like to download it! Please!

Nah. I might go back and work on it again, eventually.

What do you mean? Can you post a screenshot of these 'annoying shadows'?

[CaptainCanti]

A mod that adds bigger mountains, and some flatland. A good mix of the two. I know I can you mg_flags to add flat land, but it makes it all flat and unnatural looking.

What is the best way to escape semicolon characters in formspec text?

minetest.formspec_escape() seems to work for everything but.

[Nore]

Try to update, it should be fixed in recent versions (more recent than yesterday).

Really? I will try that, although ideally I would like it to work with older versions too.
Thanks for the quick reply.

[Nore]

It was my pull request, so that is why I was fast to reply...

[stu]

oops, I now see I have posted in completely the wrong topic, sorry!

Is anyone interest in making a tree mod where a forest of trees grow underwater. I'm thinking a mod that sorta bring us to a world much different that's not really a realm-like thing. Like tree growing in the deep waters, not the shallow parts.

If not, what are some useful codes I could use to make it happen? As well as codes to modify the design of the tree.

I also was wondering it I could use the mineral generation code to spawn cobwebs in caves.

Thanks in advances.
