DarkAge Mod for Minetest

Original mod by Master Gollum Modified by addi.

Contains code from CragiDavi and HybridDog

Introduction:

This mod adds a few new blocks that allows to create new buildings in a pre industrial landscape. Of course, feel free to use them in any other construction :P

It also provides more layers of stones. I tried not to turn mining in a rainbow, so don't expect to find them easily. There are two kinds of materials, stones, that spawns in layers at different deep and clay like materials (silt and mud) that you will find in water places. Silt and Mud are more easy to find than stone layers, but if you find one it will be a real mine, with all probability with hundreds of blocks.

I used mainly 4 square recipes to avoid collisions with other MODs, anyway I have not checked all them, so it is possible that another person is already using one or more of this combinations.

I also used Desert Sand and Desert Stone, because they almost are not used in the default version. Probably I will change this recipes in next releases.

BUILDING NODES

Adobe:

Sand and Clay mixture with Straw to build houses or walls. Used from historical times, one of the first bricks invented. I have to improve this texture, it is ugly :P

 CRAFT -> 4
 [Sand] [Sand]
 [Clay Lump] [Straw]

Basalt:

A darken version of the default Stone

 COOKING

Basalt Cobble:

A darken version of the default Cobble.

 CRAFT -> 4
 [Cobble] [Cobble]
 [Coal Lump] [Coal Lump]

Chalk:

A soft, white and porous sedimentary rock. It becomes Chalk Powder when dug. Can't be craft, only found as stratum.

Chalk Powder:

Pile of chalk from digging Chalk stones. Can be used to prepare plaster. See Cobblestone with Plaster.

Cobblestone with Plaster:

Cobbles where has been applied a layer of white plaster. When dug it lost the plaster layer!

 CRAFT -> 2

Dark Dirt:

A darken version of the Dirt where the grass doesn't grown, perfect for create a path in a forest. I was using Gravel, but the noise walking was annoying to me (like walking over iron coal with the nude feet :P), for this I created this node.

 CRAFT -> 4
 [Dirt] [Dirt]
 [Gravel] [Gravel]

Desert Iron Ore:

I know that others MODs add ores to the Desert Stones, mine also does it, but just Iron, I supposed the red color is because of the iron, so it goes with more high probability than regular Stones and it doesn't add Coal to them. It will not be a lot so you can keep it with another MOD that does the same or just comment the lines that does it.

Dry Leaves:

Just a cube of Leaves toasted :P Well I found the Leaves are not useful so I thought to turn them into Straw, ok it is not the same, but well, why not? Just dry them in a Furnace and then put together to create the Straw

 COOKING
 [Leaves]

Gneiss:

High grade metamorphic rock formed from Schist, very common, and used in construction. It sometimes brakes in Gneiss Cobble when being dug.

 COOKING

Mixture of water and some combination of soil, silt, and clay. Used for build houses, specially in desert regions. It brakes in 4 Mud Lumps when dug.

Desert Stone:

Just the default block, it can be obtained now from Desert Sand. The idea is that Desert Sand is stonier than regular Sand, so it takes less to create a Desert Stone than a Sandstone.

##FURNITURE NODES Just started so they are few ones

Box:

A more smaller container than the Chest, but it requires less wood. As cheep as 4 woods and have 16 slots. The craft is a little weird but I think it makes sense and avoids collision with the recipe of Hardwood of the MOD building_blocks.
