Minecraft can do a binocular hud and has 3D sounds, and I 'kind-of' got it working with a Google Cardboard, but it was a horrible hack. I'm not aware of anyone linking it with a Vive.

Re: ¿Converter worlds?
Some years ago I hacked up a mod which will import a 3d mesh after its been voxelized by binvox (ie one extra tool between blender and minetest), but it would be pretty easy to create a python script to export direct from blender if you really wanted and would give you far more flexibility with unli...

Re: Convert whole Minecraft maps
I haven't been playing or coding minetest for some time, but was looking at the converter out of curiosity. I presume you found the mcblocks mod which means you don't need many of the minetest mods... However from other posts I think you really want the extra function of minetest blocks, so perhaps ...

Re: [Mod] More Trees! [20140807] [moretrees]
Is there a way to make the trees grow quickly when planted. I tried to create a wood by planting saplings, but when I came back something (cavegen ??) had chopped holes in the trees. Also it's difficult to know how closely to plant them until they've grown, and it's a pain to wait overnight for the ...

Cool, with a quick test it seems that it's not freezing like it used to.

Re: [Mod] MapIt [1.2] [mapit] – another mapping mod
Thanks Andre,
I've updated the repo, and added the numpy link to the 1st post.
What changes did you make for Pillow? - the minetestmapper script still seems to ref PIL.

This view is the minimum that would be required from minetest. Everything else to achieve the VR can be done with other software (although I'm sure lag would be signifianctly decreased if minetest could monitor a port and respond directly to the google cardboard api). https://dl.dropboxusercontent.c...

Re: My Train Mod
The easiest option would be make the train itself a mobile anchor and it could forceload a couple of nodes around it and un-forceload them when it left. If a player causes loading of radius 32 nodes that's between 48 and 216 mapblocks. A train moves more, but even so should be a lot less load than q...
