FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I've been wondering how to change the texture for the sky. I've found references to the "skybox" that Moon-realm uses, but I can't find any more information on it.

Is there any way I could have a spawner that will spawn more than one zombie at a time? For instance, place one spawner, and that spawner will make sure there are always x amount of zombies in the area? Or just have it spawn x amount and disappear?

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find it. I can't figure out how to get the latest dev version for Windows 7. I know to go to github and get Minetest and Minetest_game, but I can't figure out what to do from there. Any advice is appreciated.

There are seeds now?! O.o

Done! Let me know how you guys like them!

Two float islands made using world edit. I have a problem when loading the .we of parts of the islands loading into the wrong place, but I'm not sure if this is a world edit problem or a problem with my own system. Enjoy!

I could definitely include a .we schem if anyone is interested. They are flat on top, because they aren't very big and I made them with the plan to make a small city/village on them. Adding mountains wouldn't be hard, though; I may have to try it out and see how it looks.

I made a couple of float islands using world edit. I really like how they turned out and thought I would share!

Everytime I try to save my region the program freezes and I'm forced to close.

rcthomas93 was talking about World Painter.

Do you happen to know where I could find this?

Is there any way to do this? I don't actually want to convert premade minecraft worlds, but rather would like this so I could use an editor like world painter, then convert the file to minetest. Is there any way to do this?

Update: Found some float islands. I had to go up to about 2000. Still wondering if there's any way to get them a bit lower.

I chose indev as mapgenerator, and flew up for about 3 mintues, but didn't see any float islands. I am also using the dev version. Should I just keep going up or am I missing something? Is there any way to get them to appear further down?

I'm having trouble getting float islands in mapgen v6. I know you have to edit mintest.conf, but I can't figure out exactly how.

Any plans to update this mod? Would love to see the shape drawing feature.

I think it would be neat and add a lot of building capabilities to have "column blocks". Similar to a slab block but with smaller width rather than a shorter height.

Sorry. How do I enable/use it then?

Don't Panic: It will not be that slow

But it will be switchable off.

Any ideas on when this is expected to be finished?

Ok, sorry! Basically if you make something out of spheres, such as a mountain or an island, the smooth brush makes everything smooth so that you get the more natural "step" like gradient on the land instead of the very spherical or hard lines. It's just used to make everything look like a naturally ...

It's actually called the smooth feature, not blend. Here's a video demonstrating how it works in MC.

The blend feature is mainly for building hills/mountains. Basically, once you build up the basic structure, the tool will then blend it out between peaks/to the ground so it looks more natural without having to place each individual block.

Feature Request:

It would be really nice to have a blend function such as the one in the MC voxel editor. That way, when creating landscape features such as hills or mountains, you could get a much more natural effect.
