Re: [mod] Short night, long day [daynight]
Good idea. This is a plus whenever a server tends more towards creative. Lighting your house at night may be nice to look at, but it's rather tricky to build if you can't see enough.

Re: Jellyfish Mod
Nice! But why do they have to hunt the player? It's much safer for mobs to stay clear of those hostile entities that are called players :-) Extends their lifespan considerably.

Re: [0.4.12-dev] Mod security
I still have that problem stated in my previous postings: My handle_schematics mod can't work properly. It is in part a filie browser. Its purpose is to save schematics (so far so good - no problem there) and to place schematics into the world (WorldEdit, .mts or even .schematic format). Those schem...

Some plants have extremly high demands on their sourrounding. That makes checking for the right place for a plant hugely expensive.

Re: [Mod] Gold-Mese Transport System [gmtransport]
Sounds like a very nice idea. Not as useful as my travelnet, but a great help for those servers where the admins are afraid of mods that really fascilitate travel. This mod could be a good compromise in that regard.

Re: IDEA - speak_text - Activating speech TTS on the client

Re: Minetest forum & wiki black stylish theme request night
That's another of the drawbacks of a forum: There are pre-definied styles and not the color schems the user desires :-( I'd prefer an inverted color scheme (black background, text in light grey) a lot.

Re: [Tutorial] Create and import a schematic file (.mts)
Maybe you should add instructions on how to undo the import, e.g. when the placement was wrong, or it damaged something.

It might be a great game for singleplayer. It doesn't really work out in multiplayer. Getting food is tricky as the seasons follow the servers uptime and not the players online time.

Re: What's the height of the mount Everest in minetest
The landscape in MT is not deliberately scaled down. At least not according to my knowledge. It is just extremly small-scale so that it works with limited sight. Houses are usually scaled up a lot (1 m thick walls? rare though not unheared of in reality), and "furniture" is also scaled up....
