So why is it even available?

Nice. First TP for Minetest I've seen that I would call "soft".

Is the reason this is happening because the TP doesn't support Undergrowth? Or did I break something?

If you look at a leaf block and walk around it, you will notice that MT is only drawing the outside surfaces. I propose an option that lets the game draw both sides for blocks which use textures which use transparency. I understand that the reason way things are is because it's inefficient for the g...

Mossmanikin and I worked together to fix up the bushes, adding leaves to the branch nodes. It's in github. The bushes look much better. Thanks for the idea Jack! Nice. They're looking more natural now. I think all we need now is for MT to render the inside surfaces of blocks which use transparent t...

Could we please have the ability to remove blocks from a region? I'm not talking about making them air, I'm talking about deleting them such that the game regenerates them.

This would be useful to revert an area to its original state.

Thanks for your consideration.

Everything in this mod looks amazing... except for the bushes. If you look at a real life bush, the root trunk has twigs branching off and sprouting the leaves. With this mod, it looks like someone took all the leaves off, shaved the bush flat on top, layed a glass surface on top and drop the leaves...

Look for them in the minetest.conf.example file. Copy the ones you want to use into your minetest.conf file. Change some variables and remove the # from the beginning of the line to get them to work. Thanks! Changing the update to something like 0.2 really made it smoother. Unfortunatly, it doesn't...

Is it a bit too slow for your liking? You can try to increase the speed of the abm by decreasing the interval of the abm in finite.lua

Not detailed enough? Increase the water_finite_steps property in init.lua

How does one go about changing these now that this mod is stock?

That's the best method.

Thanks.

Hi.

After cloning a repo and changing into the directory, should I run "git fetch" or "git pull" to update?

I think you meant -infinity - 1

Not that that means anything either ;)

Minecraft (MC) is going to have this feature and I think Minetest (MT) should, too. Basically, you are alowed to choose multiple resources/assets for the game. For now, I'll just talk about texturepacks (TP), not sounds and whatnot. You can select multiple TPs, instead of sticking to one. Let's say ...
