Poplars exist in two kinds: small and large trees. Both use the same
nodes, except for the sapling. Poplar leaves may drop one or the
other sapling.
Poplar trees require a humid environment, and water nearby.
Provided there is water, an occasional poplar will grow under less humid
conditions.
Using a combination of dates, nuts and coconut, an extremely high
energy date-nut cake can be baked (32 units of food). It's main purpose
is to be a very concentrated transport mechanism of food, but it can be
used for instant replenishment of a starving soul. In practise, it will
be used to craft date-nut energy bars, which merely have a good
nutritional value (4 units).
Because of its exceptional nature, the cake requires special ingredients
(all three types of nuts, as well as coconuts), and given the ingredients,
3 steps are needed (including one cooking step) to bake it. All of the
ingredients themselves, except dates, are not found in nature, but must
also be prepared.
Spawns in hot and dry desert, but requires water. This makes it a bit harder to
find, but where found, it can be more abundant.
If found in the middle of a desert, its presence indicates a water source below
the surface.
As an additional optional feature, dates (slowly) grow back after harvesting.
Commit ad0cbbc0f disabled the previous moretrees pine, and aliased it to the
default minetest pine. The default pine is a completely different tree though,
with different apppearance and different textures.
This commit restores the previous pine tree, renaming it to cedar to avoid a tree
name clash with the default game. Any existing moretrees pine trees will be
converted to cedar, so that their appearance does not change. Moretrees pine
trees that have already been converted to the default pine tree are not converted
back.
they are plantlike or not in the world. This has the side effect that a
dropped leaf block will look like a flat sprite. Oh well, no other way
to fix it.
Adjusted the offset of the textures so that leaves place more accurately
in the world (blame this on the engine, it has no option for me to
adjust the precise vertical visual scale independently from the
horizontal scale, so I have to fake it with the textures).
default jungle tree leaves to be plantlike drawtype.
The default setting is now plantlike. Change moretres_settings.txt in
your world folder if you don't like it.
Rearranged a bit of code to accommodate this.
to the one in the moreblocks mod. Got rid of jungle tree planks recipe,
default already has it. But that's not the important part...
Acorns, fir/spruce/pine cones, and coconuts are now edible!
Fir/spruce/pine cones can be cooked to extract fir/spruce/pine nuts. One cone yields 4 portions of nuts, each of which heals 1/2 heart.
Coconuts can be broken apart to get milk and raw coconut solids (e.g. the "meat"). Craft one coconut, one drinking glass, and one cutting tool (*see below). Yields one portion of coconut solids, one glass full of coconut milk, and the tool is returned. The coconut milk heals 1 heart and returns the empty glass, while one portion of coconut solids heals two hearts.
Coconut milk can be crafted with four acorns to produce acorn muffin batter. One portion of this batter can be cooked into four acorn muffins. Each muffin restores two hearts.
Enjoy :-)
-----
* Since Minetest doesn't have any default cutting tools that would normally be suitable for this purpose, the following tools may be used instead to cut the coconuts open:
Default bronze, diamond, Mese, or steel axe,
...or... glooptest Alatro or Arol axe,
...or... moreores Mithril or silver axe,
...or... titanium axe.
(note that stone and wooden axes are deliberately not usable)
to comply with new plantlife API
In addition to that, there have been numerous other, smaller changes:
* Tweaked palm tree model to add coconuts
* Tweaked size of all "fruit" items (really just cones). Rotated their images
in inventory and wield.
* Changed descriptions of sideways trunks to "Sideways Xxxx Trunk"
* Tweaked names of jungle tree leaves to be Jungle Tree Leaves (Xxxx)
* Moved jungletree trunk, sideways trunk, sapling into nodedef loop
* Renamed trunks and trunk tops to bear "_trunk" and "_trunk_top" in their
filenames.
* Added copies of default jungle tree trunks and tops, with naming similar to
the above change.
* Re-arranged init.lua to put all leaves/needles definitions in one place.
* Deleted some outdated textures.
* combined leaves definitions back into main loop with an exception for
jungletrees (if that one is called for, it is skipped, because leaves for
those trees are explicitly defined later)
* Made all leaves drop saplings when dug, 1/20 chance.
* Added leafdecay radii to main tree table but disabled the use of it. To be
implemented in the future. Disabled leaf decay for firs.
mods, added aliases for backwards compatibility.
All nodes are named
moretrees:something_sapling,
moretrees:something_trunk
moretrees:something_leaves
moretrees:something_planks
Also, added sideways trunks for all trees and crafting recipes for them, plus
added in the missing trunks -> planks recipes.
Most of the added code written by RealBadAngel
Also adds a couple of additional biome controls to jungle trees and conifers.
Also adds a text file describing the biome settings in a human-readable manner.
At present, this doesn't actually add anything new, it just refactors the
code to allow for more trees, and adds a bunch of biome definitions, tree
models, textures, etc. but no code to use them, yet.
