Re: [Mod] flower pots [git][flower_pot]
Looks very decorative, like a nice clay flower pot, while still keeping to the boxy style of MT. The flowers will love it :-)

Re: [Mod] Simple Arcs [pkarcs]

Re: [Mod] Unlimited dungeon generator [0.3.7] [catacomb]
Once you find a good way to place a surface entrance, please tell me. I've an older mindes mod lying around that could use some help in that direction. It comes with vertical shafts but doesn't have any useful code yet as to where to place the mines. Maybe I ought to open a thread and see if anyone ...

Re: Nore's personal TODO list
Write a MC clone - or at least, a clone of MC 1.0, so that all pre-1.0 maps can be converted to MT and played within, as if there was no difference. And yes, this objective is here partly because of the former MC player that remains in me, and that want to continue to play with his old maps, and pa...

Re: Lua optimization tipps
On my system it takes between 30 and 40ms to receive and send VoxelManip data. Every millisecond I can shave off the rest of the code counts and it can be very noticeable especially in a complex on_generated function.

Tired of noobie house made of dirt or cobble. This mod makes dirt houses fall and cobble harder to acquire. Stone tools can be made out of gravel. Stone drops gravel.

Re: [Mod] Furniture [ts_furniture]
It may be a small mod, but the chairs and tables (back then from the 3dfurniture mod) surprised me when starting the game - and they are still something very useful. It would be great to have chairs and tables in minetest_game (though not all shapes).

Re: [mod]BigPixelZombie
Yes, it's nice and simple. I personally prefer diffrent kind of mobs, but then, I'm not a kid anymore. There may be worlds where such mobs would fit in very nicely. There are those cubic mods (pigs, cows, even ores) - it would fit well there.

Re: Minetest-mapper
You can pass parameters on to minetest mapper so that it only draws a section of the map. I don't remember them offhand, but --help might be a good parameter to start with.

That's the goal. But adding trees is not easy because I need new schematics and I don't know how to make it easily.
