I pushed the update just now. The change is below if you don't want to pull it from git.

Code: Select all

...
minetest.register_on_punchnode(function(pos, node, puncher)
    if string.match(node.name, "mineral_detector:") ~= nil then
        if puncher:get_wielded_item():get_tool_digging_properties().dt_crumbliness ~= -1 then
            return
        end
...

Thanks Randomproof,

I copied the text from your fix above and opened init.lua inside the ~/.minetest/usermods/mineral_detector directory, and pasted it at line 476 and forward. Now it works great. Great mod and hopefully we won't have to remove mountains to find the gold anymore.

what is that brown lump and i have a weird tar.gz file!

[LolManKuba]

marc.
1. Tar.gz is a like a Linux zip file but you CAN open it using a file manager, like 7-zip
2. This mod might not work anymore
Three: The brown lump is iron.
(I said Three because my three button isn't working for some reason

Does this work wth 0.4.3? If not it should be upgraded, because this could be really handy

No, it didn't work on 0.4.3.

I made some minor changes (Which will follow the main license, Public Domain) and now it works again, at least on celeron55-minetest-1db0334:

Thanks :)
After downloading it i changed the Iron Dectectors recipe to wood & glass, instead of using wood and iron lumps

could you add a handheld one that, when right clicked, tells you ehat is in front of you for a 5 block distance or something?

I wanted to make this a non-trivial device to make so it takes a lot of iron to make (think of it as the casing and the electronics/magnetics inside) and a sample of each of the ores to be found.

Of course, I could add a version that doesn't use steel blocks and just make it have a smaller range?

Randomproof hasn't been on for almost 2 years. Afaik you can post it as long as you don't violence the license. In this case 'public domain', so go ahead, although it would be nice to give randomproof credit.

My modification of this mod, you can make a iron detector with



and after upgrade it for find iron, mese and diamond



Every click over the object increase the range of search from 2 to max 12

Tested with minetest 0.4.9
