I'd like to put up a few bounties for fixing and/or adding features to the Minetest engine. This will benefit my project, Voxus, and a percentage of donations gathered from Voxus will be put back in as new bounties. The payment will occur when the feature is approved by myself (Kenney) and merged into the main Minetest Github.
Sound pitch
Bounty: $40 (PayPal)
Description: Similar to how Minecraft makes 'random' sounds by slightly changing the pitch of the sounds played, could be added to the SoundParameters property. This would eliminate a lot of sounds, thus file size.
Features required: When playing sound, add optional random pitch.

Change volume of sound during playback
Bounty: $40 (PayPal)
Description: It would be great if multiple sounds that are playing (looping) could have their volume changed dynamically. Think of fading ambiance sounds against each other or battle music that fades in and out.
Features required: Add function that allows to change the volume of a playing sound.

Skybox image transparency
Bounty: $20 (PayPal)
Description: Adding transparency to sky images would allow more flexibility and options. An example would be where the skybox just contained clouds, and behind the clouds the color changed dynamically.

Pick node by middle clicking
Bounty: $20 (PayPal)
Description: In creative mode clicking a node with the middle mouse button will place it in the inventory and wield it. In adventure mode it would seek if the selected node is in the hotbar, select and wield it. The middle mouse button would function similar to a color picking tool in photo editing.
Features required: Add node picking by middle clicking nodes

Randomized textures (sprite strip)
Bounty: $60 (PayPal)
Description: In a same way that nodes are currently animated (sprite strip) it could also function to give nodes a random appearance. Upon placing the node, a random frame of the stripe strip will be selected. The random seed could be done using a noise.
Features required: Add random spritestrip frame option to register_node
