Put this on the top of init.lua of the default mod: minetest.craftitemdef_default.stack_max=100 minetest.nodedef_default.stack_max=100 minetest.noneitemdef_default.stack_max=100 to set the default stack size to 100 (or any other value you dream of) I agree, 100 is easier to calculate with and is an...

The code below runs inside globalstep function. Also... - rpg.HEALTH_HARD_CODED_MAX = 20 // engine's limitation - rpg[pname].health = player's 'real' health, reports to HUD - rpg[pname].player_status = 1 when player 'alive'. When zero, entire code below is skipped at each globalstep -- check if Hea...

I'm pretty sure that there can easily be hundreds of kinds of slabs with mods, which will exceed the node number limit if you want to support every slab. It's better to create a mod that supports some common nodes.

A quick question: why are you moving all kinds of stuff to default mod? I don't like it to have e.g. books in default, but wool in an other mod! It's not logical. I know ... this breaks mod compatibility. But I have also planned a MTG-Compatibility modpack or something like this... But it also mean...

A quick question: why are you moving all kinds of stuff to default mod?

I just checked my world with dreambuilder and some other mods, and it has 17544 nodes. Most of it comes from stairsplus.

Create a mod called "bones" and put an empty init.lua there.

There is an issue about making it configurable with a setting, but for now it has to be disabled by overriding the mod.

LOL

That depends on your screen size... For me there is enough room for 24.

Also, the engine will draw hotbar in two rows if screen is not wide enough. The texture will be broken, though.

I think there used to be some logic to generate hotbar texture in dreambuilder, but it is not there anymore.

Also, how is the 23 limit chosen? Is there any technical restrictions, or is it just an arbitrary limit?

What's the yellow glowing node in the second image?

Even with a ultimate goal people can still feel boring after finishing it.

Any game with finite content will eventually get boring. You will either need to make goals for yourself, or add procedural generation to the game.

How do you define "survival"? There is no "survival_mode" setting in minetest. Do you mean "creative_mode = false" or "enable_damage = true" or both? As someone who plays with "creative_mode = false" and "enable_damage = false", I guess I p...

The mod loading code supports nested modpacks, but the main menu doesn't work with them. See this issue.

Just some thoughts: Reducing the default stack size to a value below 99 can be a minor problem because it will not be backwards-compatible with existing worlds. There will be still item stacks of 99 after the update. Increasing the stack size would be unproblematic, of course. Actually both would b...

Hi, i need to get a timer with the luacontroller because i need a delay of 120 seconds and i'm afraid it lag with 120 delayer from mesecon mod Try using minetest.after() if (event.type == "on" and event.pin.name == "A") then --if signal at A if not mem.counting then mem.counting...

There is also /emergeblocks chat command.

You can use minetest.emerge_area to force generate a block.

Wait...I just had an idea!

If it doesn't have to be a piston door, sticky movestones are perfect for this.

Minetest is missing redstone, don't say mesecones because there is 100x more to redstone and Minecraft command blocks then any one could know if they don't play MC, Mesecons have luacontrollers, which are more powerful than anything in vanilla MC (not sure about MC mods). The only bad thing about m...

You can't have both kinds in one world if you use texture packs.

And hiding some content in singleplayer is not a good idea. Some mods may treat them differently, and players will have to run a server locally to use it.

It seems that the infrastructure submodule no longer exists. It is merged into streets now.

I think you are having an old version of moreblocks.

Currently you can hack with register_on_player_hpchange, but this is really something that should be in the engine.

Maybe it's caused by that: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/minetest.conf.example#L764 I think it is this one: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/src/clientiface.cpp#L358 It is not changed anywhere outside of this method, so once you set it to 2.0 you will not push blo...

This pull allows specifying mod conflicts.

Basically for anything other than map storage you will need the height in the layer instead of the global height. In this way the layers will be mostly independent. Let's just call it "support multiple worlds by reducing map height and storing y coordinate and world id together internally"...

So we already have item metadata support? I think I missed it when reading lua_api.txt last time.

It's a great feature. I can start to write a nice mod with this. :)

The name "singlenode" is somewhat confusing. It means "the whole map is filled with one kind of node", which defaults to air.

The origin mod does what you want. It creates a indestructible node, but it is easy to change if you want to remove the node.

Personally I don't like pixel fonts very much. But I don't know what most people like, so I'm not going to argue about the default. I'm fine as long as sans-serif fonts are still supported. Why should a player be motivated to do so? Probably only because of a poor default font in the first place. Or...
