I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

We already replaced a bunch of textures by some of PixelBOX , there were made by a real artist and the license granted us a total freedom.

Re: What's Minetest still missing over Minecraft?
Interacting with chests, furnaces, etc. always has noticeable lag between 2-5 seconds. That's not necessarily the unique engine's fault, though. I take the example of a mod that you extensively use : Crafting Guide. Have you looked at its code actually ? It represents ~2500 lines of code (!) and it...

Re: What's Minetest still missing over Minecraft?
Maybe unlike you I read a big part of this thread ;)
And yes, obviously Irrlicht must have some limitations that you won't have when using OpenGL directly (LWJGL is just a wrapper around OpenGL, not a full engine).

Re: What's Minetest still missing over Minecraft?

Re: What's Minetest still missing over Minecraft?
