[Mod] Fence Connect [fence_connect]

by zing269 » Post

Allows fences to terminate against many solid nodes

Image

By default, minetest game only lets fences terminate against wood or other fences. This mod adds a group, connect_to_fence, to many nodes used for building and adds that same group to all fences.

Edit the fence_connect.conf file to include nodes that you want fences to connect to.

Version: 0.9.1
License: LGPL 2.1 or later
Dependencies: default mod (found in minetest_game)
Download: https://github.com/zing269/fence_connec ... master.zip

finally! I have thought this should be a thing for a while : )

My opinion is that both fence and fence gate should be able to use 2 textures as well... one for the post, one for the rails.
And to introduce a rails only node as well.

This mod, plus the current default code, plus two suggestions above would make MT fences absolutely perfect, and complete.

I agree, something like this should be in default. As it is this is pretty much a hack and any other mods that have defined other fence nodes would need to be added to this mod's depends for it to work.

You could not add a fenced area beside a wall because every fence would connect to that wall which honestly simply looks ugly.

Better add diagonal connectivity on same level and up/down like there is a mod for Minecraft that even allows placing fences on slabs and have them connect properly.

Small update, added a configuration file. Edit fence_connect.conf to include node you want fences to terminate against.

It’s a pity that a closed-source obfuscated Java game owned by Microsoft and without an official moddding API is better moddable than an open-source voxel engine meant to be a modding platform.

Minecraft is easier to mod than Minetest?
I don't think so.

And the funny thing is, modding kits/lessons for MC have a price fixed to them. : /
and schools which wish to add MC to their curriculum, need to pay for bundled license packages... (just like they do for Windows OS)

But, none of this has anything to do with this mod so, I apologize zing
