What's Minetest still missing over Terraria?
I bought Terraria for less than a couple bucks on a steam sale. I fired it up to see what all the hoopla was, tried chopping down a tree, started building a house and was underwhelmed to say the least. It was a 2D poor man's Minetest. Why would I play this when I had both Minetest and Minecraft? And...

Re: [GAME] EpicNode *RPG/MMORPG* [ver:1in alpha testing]
This kind of makes me think how close Eden2 subgame is to being an RPG. There are villages filled with npcs, pyramids, goblins, ghosts etc. It would be so cool if the villagers would actually interact with the players. For example the blacksmith could say he is having trouble getting coal due to the...

Re: [Mod] Simple Shooter [0.5.3] [shooter]

Re: [WIP] Goblins [mobs_goblins]
Speaking of fire, I've been finding when I've been going underground into caves/dungeons that have been populated by goblins, I've been sponaneously starting on fire or being electrocuted and losing hitpoints. Don't get me wrong, I think this is an awesome addition to the game as I love traps, but a...

Why does mossy cobble glow underground
I installed the goblin mod, and the goblins start replacing stone with mossy cobble. The problem is that it lights up the caves. Any idea why mossy cobble makes the underground glow so you don't need a torch? It really doesn't make sense.

Re: [WIP] Goblins [mobs_goblins]
I'm a traditionalist. I'd rather have them ride out on wolves and set everything on fire. I liked the idea of flaming arrows also, but if you are going to add fire, it should be configurable to turn it off, because depending on your situation (lots of flammable plants and trees) this can cause ragi...

Re: Declare your game to be ready to be bundled with Minetes
I didn't submit the original Eden to be bundled because it was just too large. It went all out trying to represent nature in as realistic way as possible. With Eden2 I went a different direction, the size is much smaller than Eden, and what it aims for is creating a world that has a lot of interesti...

Re: [Mod] Simple Shooter [0.5.3] [shooter]
Hmmm.... nope still just a bunch of smoke for the rocket and grenade. The odd thing is that I'm using the latest minetest, and even though tnt is part of minetest game, I don't see tnt in my inventory in creative mode. That might be what is causing the problem.

I love that the goblins actually have a purpose, and that they don't all mindlessly attack you. It makes them almost seem intelligent. Wish more mobs were like this. This works really well with the abandoned mines mod.

It might not be a bad idea to have a Teen/Adult forum(s) that prompt for your year and month of birth, and if you are old enough allows you to see mods/content that are for older players.
