Credit to tenplus1 for the suggestion to generalise for mod use.
Mods can add mod nodes to 'group:spreading_dirt_type' enabling the
function to work with mod nodes.
Add some nodes to this group.
Removing 'dirt_with_grass' etc. from 'neighbors' stops the ABM action
running everywhere and constantly, on the dirt nodes immediately below
the surface nodes. Now the action only runs in the rare case of a dirt
node with neighbouring air, grass decorations or snow.
Remove check for air above to allow grass to spread under light-
transmitting nodes such as fences, walls, plants. This causes spread
under slabs, stairs and glass, when near air, but seems worth it.
Remove unnecessary check for nil node.
Retain definitions for node groups to support mods.
Burn time is unchanged for applewood, and increases in the order:
aspen, pine, apple, acacia, jungle which is also the order of wood
colour darkness.
Indicate in the infotext when a furnace has filled up `dst` but still
has fuel. The info text shows the item as 100% with added "(output
full)" text, indicating that while it can cook the item, there is no
place for it in the `dst`. Emptying the `dst` should make the item
cook immediately and furnace resume normal operation.
Make the softer woods, pine and aspen, 'flammable = 3'.
Correct inconsistent flammability of wood and stairs in relation
to all other solid wood nodes in MTGame.
Make the the softer woods, pine and aspen, 'choppy = 3'.

Remove non-essential 'group:liquid' from 'neighbors'
Increase chance value to 10 to compensate for disabled cache
Disable 'catch-up' to avoid the ABM often becoming 10 times more
intensive
Remove use of 'do preserve' bool, instead simply 'return'
Remove unnecessary checks for 'd' and 'd == 0'
Don't 'get' n0, use already present 'node' instead
Swap order two conditionals so that the one most likely is first
Allows walking in, and prevents being trapped in, 2 node high spaces.
Simulates player's feet sinking into snow.
Easier jumping up onto nodes with snow.
Add a global 'intersects protection' function to functions.lua for
checking if a specified volume intersects with a protected volume.
A 3D lattice of points are checked with an adjustable interval.
Add a global 'sapling on place' function to avoid duplicated code in
nodes.lua.
Nyancats are independent in the default mod. Nothing else uses them or
their code. Separating it into a separate mod makes it easier for
subgames to remove them. It also makes it easier for a mod to depend
on nyancats, as lots of subgames don't have them.
Default/mapgen.lua: Register biomes, ores and decorations in
singlenode mapgen. These were never disabled anyway because
singlenode was removed from the world creation menu.
* Unused variables
* Unused values (assigned to variables, but overwritten before use)
* Defining already defined variables instead of reassigning to them.
Preserve overlapping registrations of large and small clusters
below y = -64 but now extend the small clusters up to y = 0 (the
previous highest iron ore level) in a similar to way to coal
Re-order registrations

Change sand blob ymax to 0 as sand does not always rise above 0
Remove dirt blobs from sandstone as it is unsuitable for
many sandstone biomes and ugly in stony sandstone desert
Change ymax of first iron region to 0
Allow many crafted nodes to be rotated in any way possible.
These blocks all have slab and stair versions, which can create awkward
patterns if placed together. By allowing these to be rotated players
can create new patterns and appearances that were not before possible.
Since this wasn't possible before, there won't be any effect
to existing builds, as param2 should always be '0'. The current
screwdriver mod also refuses to rotate and alter param2, so this is
safe to enable from now on.
Personally, since these are all *crafted* nodes to begin with, it
should be apparent that they can be rotated to begin with, but I can
see people may disagree from a simplicity perspective. It also may
affect param2 usage that other mods rely on, although I'm not aware
of any mods that do this.
Allow water to turn cobble slab and stairs to turn into mossy versions.
There is no crafting recipe for mossy stairs and mossy slabs, the
stair/slab API has been modified to allow for a recipeitem that
is `nil`, which will omit adding a crafting recipe for these two
items. The API documentation is updated.
The slabs and stairs will turn mossy when water is adjacent, just like
cobblestone. You can either farm mossy versions by placing them in
water for a while, then collecting them, or run water over your craft.
Mese texture is a classic-mese-yellow version
of celeron55's texture used in MTv0.4.0
Add missing texture credits for mese crystal
and mese crystal fragment
Each sapling is given a single node timer that is between
2 and 4 days of game play time (40-80 minutes). If you walk out
of the zone, and come back later, the tree will always grow
to full if the timer has elapsed.
Because trees.lua is all functions, it needs to be parsed before
nodes.lua, since that references some of its functions. Hence,
change the order of parsing here. Otherwise saplings would not
grow to full.
Adds a minor helper function that allows efficient retrieval of
several inventories from a node inventory. We use this helper to
quickly retrieve the items in chests, vessel shelves, book shelves
and furnaces, and return these with the nodes itself to the TNT caller.
The TNT caller then performs the entity physics, and we don't need
to do anything else.
We disable TNT doing anything with bones.
We expose a bug in the code that drops the items - metadata was lost
entirely. This patch corrects that by properly copying the metadata
and creating the drops list inclusive metadata.
This changes how dirt blocks turn to dirt_with -grass, -dry_grass
or -snow.
Previously, dirt that was sunlit would turn to dirt_with_grass no
matter what, but this happened without any context, so you could
get green patches of dirt_with_grass in the middle of a savannah or
even desert.
Dirt no longer turns to covered dirt unless it's within 1 node from
another dirt_with_grass or dirt_with_dry_grass or dirt_with_snow.
This makes dirt_with_grass "growback" a lot slower, since it now only
happens on the edges, but it retains the context nicely now.
If there is any dirt with a grass or dry grass plant, or snow on top,
and enough light, we'll convert it sporadically to dirt_with_grass
or dirt_with_dry_grass or dirt_with_snow.
This allows us to plant grass of our choice in a large dirt patch,
or in a region where otherwise that type of grass is not present.
This used to be done by 2 abms, but I've combined them in to a single
ABM that is ordered to run with maximum efficiency, solving for the
most common outcome first before attempting more complex checks.
This is technically "dirt with grass" that's just under a snow
cover, so in darkness the grass on these nodes will also die,
turning it into dirt.
This doesn't convert dirt_with_snow under snow.
I've created a modified B3Dexport.py version that automatically strips
the embedded texture link to external texture files. These links were
causing the engine to spew "can't find character.png" messages on the
console, but were harmless due to texture loading being done by the
client side and not through irrlicht.
I previously moved character.png to /textures/, which is wrong. I now
understand that character.png was in the same folder as character.blend
simply to make blender load the texture from the embedded linkage
automatically. Nothing more, nothing less.
Subsequently the character.png file should just sit in convenience
in the /models/ folder with the blend file, and not in the textures
file. This patch moves it back. And yes, minetest does load the
character.png from this path.
The access privilege allows players that have it to bypass protection
on locked doors/trapdoors, chests and bones.
The priv also allows bypassing any minetest.is_protected() check,
including digging nodes and placing them. It is meant for world
moderators to clean up and fix map issues.
Original patch by red-001. Split up and rebased/rewritten by sofar.
This patch requires https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/3800
This changes the drawtype of fences to NDT_CONNECTED nodebox drawtype.
These nodes are drawn by the client with the needed connections on
the fly as the scene is drawn. There is no logic needed by mods to
modify the nodes.
These fences connect to (1) other fences, (2) planks and (3) tree
trunks, but nothing else. They do not connect to stone, dirt, wool,
etc. This is done by the "connects_to" parameter, which takes groups
and node names.
Due to the way textures are wrapped, we can make these nodes look a
lot better by giving them a special tile.
This change requires minetest/minetest#3503.
Books still don't wrap long lines of text properly so until this has been sorted out I suggest reverting back to a previous working formspec which lets players read books properly until a fix is found (and maybe scrollbars added to texarea's). Also adding a recipe to blank written books.
These sounds were perceived to be too loud in the
game. I've lowered them significantly but they remain
plenty audible. The dig sounds were very loud as well
so I toned them down as well.
Issue #811 - new gravel texture needed.
This texture was Gambits' PixelBOX gravel light texture. Gambit
posted that his texture pack is WTFPL:
- https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4990&start=50#p141196
I've made significant modifications to this texture:
- slightly rotated and rolled some sections of pixels
- minor burn/dodge some pixels to keep high contrast
- removed lineair repeating effects
- etc.
Attribution is added back to Gambit. Thanks.
Both the standing and sitting animations had misplaced curve
cusps that caused the end part of the animation to wiggle the
feet slightly back and forward.
I've fixed both animations parts and re-exported. Verified in-game
with multiplayer that everything was indeed fixed.
Spread ABM intervals evenly across 1 to 16 seconds
16s ensures no nodes are missed when player walks past
Adjust chance values to compensate, for identical action rates
Combine lavacooling ABMs into one, return to chance = 1
Grass growth: add 'neighbors = "air"' to avoid
processing the thousands of underground dirt nodes
Grass death: Reduce action rate to that of grass growth
Fire: Use chance = 1 for flame extinguishing
and flame removal when mod is disabled
Node timers are higher precision and a better guarantee
of happening at regular intervals, whereas ABM's may be
postponed, cancelled or missed if a player is too far.
The largest benefit is that once the furnace is done
cooking, no more ABM's are fired - the timer is stopped
instead and no more events are created until items
are put in the furnace.
This patch is larger due to the migration of the timer
function and indentation change as a result of the somewhat
reduced complexity. I've tested with several furnaces and
this works correctly and behavior is not affected, although
people may find that their furnaces now work more
regularly.
If you place several furnaces next to eachother, you will
still find all furnace timers firing exactly at the same
time. This is a bug in core that should not coalesce node
timers at second intervals.
This converts the call to minetest.register() for the default
fence node, so it can be called by other mods to quickly
setup other fences.
Since this creates an API, insert it into the game_api.txt.
The api looks like minetest.register(name, {def}), and has two
uncommon fields: "texture" and "material". Any normal nodedef
property can be passed through, except "drawtype". The "fence"
group will always be added.
The default fence recipe is modified to be as follows:
wood, stick, wood
wood, stick, wood
This recipe yields 4 fence nodes.
This allows us to create according recipes for acacia, pine,
aspen, and junglewood fences without adding new stick types:
pine wood, stick, pine wood
pine wood, stick, pine wood
This is a from-scratch implementation, written by heart but inspired
by (#665 - Add many wooden fences).
Stick and fences nodes are named in a consistent way.
Adds a birch-like tree to the default_game. Aspen was chosen on
purpose instead of birch, as several birch tree mods already exist
and choosing a different name avoids any conflicts.
Schematics were made for both normal and sapling version, assuring
saplings will not be able to grief. The shape of the Aspen is "fanning
out at the top" and provides an easy tree to walk under, but still a
somewhat thick cover. The Aspen trunk is 4 to 6 blocks tall, with up
to three layers of leaves on top, making it slightly taller than an
Apple tree, but shorter than a Pine tree, which provides a good blend.
Textures were painted from scratch, except tree_top and _wood
variants, which are color modified versions of the pine_wood
variants. Appropriate licenses have been chosen for the new textures.
The leaf texture is light enough to contrast other trees, but dark
enough to offset against our light default grass color. The leaves
are drawn in the typical minetest default fashion with plenty of
transparancy, but enough definition to suggest that you're seeing
something that looks like leaves. The placement of leaves in the
schematic also suggests the top of the tree is sparse and you can
see the sky through the leaves.
Sapling texture is both traditional and different, with lush green
leaves and a well-defined stem, but slightly stick-like and skinny,
as these plants tend to grow up first, then out.
Add fallen Aspen logs. We make these logs a minimum of 2 blocks long,
and up to 3. This allows us to make these logs a place where both
red and brown mushrooms can be found, to these may be attractive to
players. However, the spawn rate for these has been reduced a lot
compared to the other logs, to account for the scarcity of Aspen.
Add stairs, slabs for these wood types as well.
Mapgen will place these trees in deciduous forests only, but in
a way that the biome is a range between entirely Apple trees, and
mostly entirely Aspen trees, with a bias to Apple trees. To make
fallen logs somewhat correlated with trees, we modify the planting
of Apple trees and logs to use perlin noise and not fill ratio,
otherwise you'd always end up with Apple logs in Aspen tree areas,
which would be suspicious. There still is a bit of a mix.
We can vary the landscape a bit more by placing "fallen logs"
around the various forests. These decorations are quite fast
and will provide some gameplay value but are still more rare
than the corresponding trees, so they don't provide free
materials.
I've manually put the schematic as lua tables since these log
schematics are only 8 blocks. We vary the log lengths between
1 and 3 blocks by making the end blocks have a lower chance
of appearing.
Amount is varied by fill_ratio, except for acacia trees where
we reduce the scale, so that acacia logs show up near places with
acacia trees consistently.
Mushrooms are placed optionally on each log. We can't place
two different mushrooms on a log, so instead we opt to place
brown mushrooms on oak/appletree logs, brown mushrooms on
jungletree logs, and red mushrooms on pine logs. No mushrooms
are placed on acacia logs, as they occur in a dry biome,
savannah, and this adds a bit of biome diversity.
Combine any written book with an empty book to copy it. The
copy is in player hands when using, and the original is put
back on the crafting grid and can be directly copied again.
All ownership and metadata is retained, so the copy of the book
is as writable as the original is, or isn't.
Since written books are quite different from empty books, the
visual clue that they are different items is really needed in-game.
I've added a "clasp" or "belt-with-buckle" like element to the
png from default_book, keeping them very similar but also
immediately recgnizably different.
I added the new texture to blockmen's license list since it's
obviously derivative of his work.
The PNG was run through a minimizer/optimizer to save space.
