[Mod]More uses for dirt[git][usesdirt]

[Dogzilla131]

This adds more uses for dirt. You will always have a bunch of the stuff, but there never seemed to be much use for it before. Now there is. The new blocks are just decorative, with corresponding fences and ladders. There are also tools, furnaces, and chests.


The leftmost block is a dirt furnace.

• Version .2 adds tools
• Version .3 adds chests
• Version .4 increased the output of dirt cobblestone, plus I fixed the textures a little :-D

License: WTFPL for all Lua code, CC BY-SA for the textures

Depends: recent Minetest engine and minetest_game

This is the your basic dirt brick, made from nine plain dirt:

Six of those make a dirt brick fence:

Seven make a dirt brick ladder:

Nine of those make dirt cobblestone:

Six dirt cobblestone make a dirt cobblestone fence:

Seven of them make a dirt cobblestone ladder:

Cooking dirt cobblestone makes a dirt stone:

Six of those make a dirt stone fence:

Seven of them make a dirt stone ladder:

Eight dirt stone around the edges, plus one plain dirt in the middle, make a dirt furnace, which behaves just like the default furnace:

Using dirt stone and regular sticks in the standard axe recipe makes a dirt axe, as expected:

Dirt sword:

Dirt shovel:

Dirt pickaxe:

Eight dirt stone with the center left empty make a dirt chest:

Add a steel ingot to that to make a locked dirt chest:

Version .3 added chests, which are harder to break than normal chests, since they are made of dirt stone. This is what they look like:

Tell me if something is not working.

Moderator's note: this post has been rewritten for clarity, with downloads pointed to HybridDog's fork, since the original downloads are long gone.

+3 Very good
Now I won't have to re-place the useless dirt again or stash it away in 1865147 chests!

Looks like the mod I started but never finished! +100 for making it work well!

[rubenwardy]

Nice.

Some people make modern eco houses out of mud and poo stuff

[Shadowmang]

Cool, though I'd rename it some like Terracotta (though that's technically clay) or "Earthen" cause it sounds better than just "Dirt"

[Dogzilla131]

Thanks to everybody for the great comments

Updated to version .3.

[Dogzilla131]

Have a bug, if you downloaded version .3, then downloaded the new link. The bug is that the furnace and the chest conflict each other.

The mod's code is under WTFPL, and the textures are under CC BY-SA, so, yes, you can (you must however keep the textures under the same license if you release them).

Version .4 came out, this is just a minor release for now

[VanessaE]

While I don't exactly maintain this mod, I'm just letting folks know I still have a repo of it at https://github.com/VanessaE/usesdirt where I've pushed a few changes just to keep it up to date for my game.

[Wuzzy]

Good to know, VanessaE, beacause all the links in the first post are broken because Sendspace deleted the files. >_>

[Don]

That's great VanesseA

[nanepiwo]

Wonderful idea and mod. However, I request 16x16 textures to fit in with the game.

[Hybrid Dog]

l have a repository of this mod, too
https://github.com/HybridDog/usesdirt
but it could use different node names

Someone should make new textures to replace the horrible high resolution ones. Also, it seems that the furnace lets you see through the ground
