Re: [Game] MineClone 2 [0.16.0]
Thanks for the insight. Melons and pumpkins are a bit less common now. Feel free to test this in the developer version and tell me how balanced you think it is. I will probably release version 0.17.0 tomorrow. I also announce that I will pause MineClone 2 development for the rest of April 2017 (or s...

Re: Minetest 0.4.15
I agree. I think this is just a lame excuse. Volunteers can't read the mind of the developers when they wrote the code. In my opinion, it is generally the best that the developers who wrote the code are also the ones who document their own code, because they know their own code very well. Moving the...

Re: How to make a tool unable of digging?
No, AiTechEye, this doesn't work. :-(
As soon as I make use of on_use, I can't swing the sword continously anymore (by holding the left mouse button). But I want still be able to swing the sword continously, a capability which all other tools have by default. I don't want to lose this. :-/

Still no changelog after 3 months
Okay, this is getting absurd. It's now been over 3 months (!) since the release and there is still no official changelog. Is there any reason for this? If there is a problem, maybe we can find a solution together. Can we please get an official statement whether the practice of writing changelogs can...

Re: Post your mapgen questions here (modding or engine)
How can I use the decorations API to spawn simple decorations underground?
For example, placing mushrooms on top of stone in caves.
Or do I have to use LuaVoxelManip (or similar)?
With my experiments so far, I only managed to make mushrooms appear at Y chunk borders.

Re: Should we rename Minetest? (poll)
All the suggested alternative names so far are either not good or are already taken.
It's called “Minetest Game”, not “minetest_game”. The name “minetest_game” has been abandoned years ago.

Re: Minetest version numbers
It's very simple: You have to read the version number as 3 separate integers (positive or 0) and the points are just separators. All three numbers serve as “counters”, and one of them is increased every release. The first number is the most significant number, the second the second-most significant ...

No
No, don't rename Minetest. The name is already too ingrained in the community. Yes, the name is very silly, but also very memorable (probably because it's so silly) and easy to find with a search engine. Renaming it now might create too much confusion. I still really like the name Freeminer. It has ...

Yes, I saw this repository as well. All this looks very nice. But as I already said many times, mobs are currently not a priority and I guess it is still a lot of work to actually include the mobs. But if someone has a nice patch for me, I will probably merge it. No matter if new mob or improving a ...

Re: The Mirror of Returning came in very handy tonight
Maybe you were lucky and hit an unloaded chunk, which resets your speed to 0 without taking fall damage. This explains the black screen. Minetest physics are really broken when it comes to falling at high speeds. It is possible to fall over 1000 nodes on hard ground and still survive, as long you hi...

Re: [Game] MineClone 2 [0.16.0]
I don't know what you mean with “the mapper GUI”. The minimap works for me. To access the minimap in MineClone 2, you first have to obtain the map item which you can craft. Then hit F9 (the minimap key). Make sure you use version 0.16.0 in Minetest 0.4.15. The minimap itself comes from Minetest, not...
