Should do
- Make jungletrees only spawn when enough space
- Make the habitat code a bit more lightweight by avoiding unnecessary node checking and random spawning

Could do
- Spawn jungletree directly and not make it grow from spawned sapling

Depends
Habitat

Download
Paramat's (perlin on gen) version does not require Habitat mod

awesome! more trees!

Thanks Bas080 for making them different in both appearance and game-play to the normal trees.

Why dont you use the jungletree of the default mod?

They aren’t 2x2 thickness. And i will leave the jungletree node for someone else to use. The more the merrier.

WoW is amazing ...

Just some ideas: you should make them have their own leaves, and a different tree block (different texture too) that can be crafted into default wood. The leaves would drop jungletree saplings. And their own tree block too, a little lighter bark and the inside is a little barker/light-brownish-red.
Also, can you please make the tops of the trees more ''random''? as of now they spawn with ''unusual'' placement, forming what seems like a shape I usually end up dumping lava on (ask RandomBot if you need more information about the lava).

Lol!

What do you mean with unusual placement. If you want me to fix it plz show me what you would like to see by building it and sharing the screenshot with me. You could also fork and edit the code on the git.

Bas080: this really needs to use the default jungletree node. You can still arrange them 2x2 in your spawn function of course, just do so with the default jungletree node. If you use your own node, other mods that depend on or use jungle tree won't work with it (e.g. moreblocks can create fences and wood planks out of it)

[tonyka]

perfect for me this mod ...
remind me more of the giant sequoias that a jungle tree, and why I like it even more ...
maybe create their own leaves, but just to get your own sapling ...

Maybe instead of trying not to grow close to the desert, you could do that to be near or in the desert, the block tree is transformed into another block a (dead tree) or stone ... so that the leaves fall ...
This would give greater visual diversity ...

but I really think you can make changes, are more related to the tastes of each person, that with mod itself...

[tonyka]

in default, the crafting has been removed for jungletree
so here I added in my local copy

Code: Select all

minetest.register_craft({
    output = 'default:wood 4',
    recipe = {
        {'default:jungletree'},
    }
})

[VanessaE]

Moreblocks already provides craft recipes to get Jungle wood/sticks/fences from standard jungletrees (and this mod).

[tonyka]

thanks for the info ...
I still think it is more practical to add 5 lines of code, to install Moreblocks
philosophy windows:
20 video players
600 codecs
1000 libraries
and not use in life ..., I do not like ...

Windows doesn't have 20 video players by default, only one which does suck. 8)

Have added to this mod.

I consider it a could have. Although i was thinking different tree shape in that case.

I am thinking of adding vines to the mod. In that case I will merge the vines mod with the jungletrees mod. The vines will be drawn mc style but also plantlike style and not gangnam style.

[irksomeduck]

Do these spawn in already explored areas?

another type of tree?
sounds good ...

including vines in the trees of the jungle seems also great, to be able to go up and down like Tarzan by lianas

[Bas080]

No but you can add them to the area manually by planting them. Mine the leaves or use /giveme jungletree:saplings I think.

When I downloaded this and started to play, this message popped up: 'ModError: mod "Jungletrees" has unsatisfied depencies: "habitat".' What does this mean? I use 0.4.3 now, but when I downloaded Farming and Nyanland on 0.4 dev, those mods didn't work either.

[PilzAdam]

There is a ant on my screen... wait... lol!!!

[qwrwed]

@Ade: This mod depends on the "habitat" mod, so you need to download that as well under the depends heading, below "any ideas?"

[SegFault22]

What do you mean with unusual placement

I mean, the very top of the trees (probably changed by now) appeared unusual, as in, the trunks are arranged in a 2x2 shaft with a branch on top that faces a certain direction. Like, the top-left one has a branch facing north, the top-right has one facing east, the bottom-right has one facing south, and the bottom-left has one facing west. Kinda like a red/white/black flag that RandomBot built on the wall of his bunker, which I burned with lava.
Also, if the crafting for jungletree wood to wood planks gets removed, could you add a crafting recipe for ''junglewood planks'', ''junglewood sticks'', and other things made of junglewood? It would be nice to have a junglewood fence around one's porch in a jungle treehouse...

[VanessaE]

I noticed this also. It might be a good idea to randomize those a bit, and cover them up with leaves.

Also, I'm noticing that these trees cause a *lot* of lag in the map generator. The code to spawn the trees is kinda heavy - you should make the jungle trees take a while (and a random amount of time at that) to spawn from their initial saplings, like a regular tree/sapling does when planted.

I haven't looked at the code, but if you spawn saplings at mapgen time, and then use an ABM to grow the saplings randomly, it'll surely be easier on the CPU than generating them all at once.

Nevertheless, this mod is absolutely EPIC. :-)

[Bas080]

Do these spawn in already explored areas?

If you use the version in which it uses flowers mod to spawn, it does spawn after a area has been explored. See download section.
