Re: [Mod] Nether [nether]
There are no special dungeons like in MC, just the normal Minetest dungeons but with a new brick texture, sometimes you need to travel a while to find some. I coded the mapgen so that dungeons are not excavated so they should be floating in the caverns or projecting from the walls.

Remember there are now bushes in the grasslands, the bush stem can be crafted to a wood plank.

Re: Post your mapgen questions here (modding or engine)
Brunomine,
For each axis and nodepos co-ord 'p':
If p >= 0:
blockpos = math.floor(p / 16)
Else:
blockpos = math.floor((p - 15) / 16)
'Block zero' is from 0 to 15.

Re: Difference between globalstep and abm?
The speed depends on the actions triggered.
ABMs only run within 3 mapblocks (48 nodes) of players.
The globalstep is 10-20 times per second.

Re: [Mod] Snowfall, rainfall, settling snow [0.4.0] [snowdri
The mod uses the known noise parameters for temperature, however the threshold may need changing slightly for the new set of biomes.
By altering the temperature and precipitation thresholds you can make it snow everywhere at Christmas if you want.
