OldCoder Wizard School
OldCoder Wizard School is based on a fan map made by Perlitroll. We're not sure yet about future policies. However, for now, interact is on by default for this world. So are fly and noclip, so that you can fly around and see all of the school. The world doesn't have "magic" mods or other ...

Re: OldCoder Skyblock
This is shaping up to be another interesting world. In the screenshot below, that's New Skyblock city on the left, World In A Box on the right, and Old Skyblock city farther up. We'll probably add a satellite and a spaceship to round things out. http://minetest.org/images/150817_skyblock2.png Edit:...

The old Skyblock buildings have been moved to the new Skyblock world. Old Skyblock City is located at these coordinates: Server: minetest.org Port: 30005 Coordinates: 16050,262,16150 It's about a mile up from New Skyblock City. See the screenshot below. That's Old Skyblock City in front and New Sky...

Re: OldCoder Skyblock
I've reset OldCoder Skyblock to make it more vertical. Players start out at different heights now and the cloud floor is further down. If you built here before, your buildings are safe. Talk to me in IRC or in-game and I'll move them over or put them in one of my other worlds. You also get to keep ...

Re: OldCoder Skyblock
We're continuing to fix bugs in OldCoder Skyblock. It looks like the world will work out. There's a good chance that I'll need to reset the world. If I do, existing players will be compensated. I can make copies of buildings and move privileges to the new world. http://minetest.org/images/150816_sk...

Re: OldCoder Skyblock
Two important issues: 1. I think that I've identified some of the crashes in the Skyblock mod. Try OldCoder Skyblock and see if it works for you. If it crashes, I'll see it in the logs and this will be useful. Note: Interact is presently on by default. The world is located at: server minetest.org p...

Re: Redcrab's server
So duplicating the world by visit is a good way to keep the interesting part of world safe on another server. I run Silvercrab, which is based on captures. It has the buildings, but it's not the same world without the _game and custom mods. I'd also like to know if you've modified the server code a...

I'll put lesser mod ideas that people suggest to me in this thread instead of starting a separate thread for each of them. Significant mods or special-purpose mods may get their own threads. First up: NPC Dance Party! http://youtube.com/watch?v=CkatlAUViSc http://minetest.org/images/150613_npc.png

Re: OldCoder Hungry Games
Thank you; it's kind of you to say this. Suggestions for additional improvements are welcome. The players want more weapons, of course. For example, they feel that submachine guns would fit right in. But, what next, tactical nukes? I think I'll add more ruins instead. And the dinosaur that somebody...

PeterPanda, Hi. Lord of the Test is one of my most active worlds. It's in good shape and the Cat Ninja has things under control. My worlds will shut down for two days for a move from a temporary machine to their long-term home, but they should be waiting for you when you return.

To get you, or anybody else who is interested, started, here is a small collection of 64x32 skins:
