Intresting. I thought it had something to do with too many nodes and/or textures or other media data. Maybe that has changed. I don't want to prevent players from joining servers they want (and, technically, can) play on. Maybe a new icon indicating lightweight servers which are likely to work for tablet users might be a good idea.

Yep that's a great idea :thumbup:
Though some maths is required though. The code must calculate the amount of nodes and the CPU weight of each node in-game, and then sum up.
And maybe icons for less lightweight ones that are still sort of playable?

And also when displaying icons the code could check the tablet's specs so it can be more of a help.

Here is an idea for a simple mod, or something to add to an existing one, to make some more items renewable:

Dirt could be made with sand, gravel, and leaves (the food mod uses dirt for most of its crafting recipes to have a need for this)

Dessert Stone can be made with 9 dessert sand (currently the only stone type that is limited)

Clay could be made with sand, water, and possibly something else (a lot of mods use clay for quite a few crafting recipes, but its either hard to find or difficult to collect)

Mymulch turns leaves sticks and plants into mulch. You can then turn mulch into dirt. I can add a decay machine that could turn the mulch into clay. Clay is hard to find on busy servers.
I will add it soon.
I might do the desert stone to sand as well.

mymulch now makes clay. On the right side of the machine put in mulch and every 10 seconds you will get a lump of clay.

I added make desert sand to mycobble which is a part of mystreets.
You can craft desert gravel from desert cobble and then craft desert sand from desert gravel. I hope this helps.
Just so you know, I have not added mystreets to the forum since it is a work in progress. It is fully functional but not complete. It is safe to download and use but I plan on adding more to it.

Had a thought for a mod but don't have time to do it.

A statue mod.
Place a base for the statue. Run an abm to see if it is air above. If not then place a statue.
Run a check for if a player is near the statue. If a player is near then it turns into a mob.

Could have one that does not turn into a mob and one that does so people do not know which it is.

So something like what several RPG games have, such as the Arminos Knights from The Legend of Zelda series.

If you have the "fast" privilege, holding the 'E' key will make you run quite fast.

This isnt ver practical and will seriously lag the game/server using it... Use worldedit to create a body of water like a tidal wave or tsunami instead...

2 and 5 are easy. I actually think I could code 5. And it's also on my future mods list.

Create a folder in mods/ called renewable_lava. Create an init.lua file with this content (use a text editor like Notepad++, Gedit, wordpad or atom)

Code: Select all

minetest.override_item("default:lava_source", {liquid_renewable = true})
minetest.override_item("default:lava_flowing", {liquid_renewable = true})

The Immersive Sounds mod does this, but it is slow and quite heavy.

I've searched the forums for awhile, but haven't found any relating to this one:

A mod request for a speedometer, or a HUD that shows the land speed of the player, preferably in meters per second. I believe this is very approachable, but I haven't got the skills (yet) to do this. It would be really useful for other developers to test how fast, a boat, car, train, plane, or their own character is moving. As a beginner in lua, I feel it is necessary if I need to see how how long it would take for my test car to achieve maximum velocity.
