FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I like it so far, have only been to the first upper island so far and then I died. I didn't know about the lava in the lower island and put wooden pallets around the base. Since everything was basically connected by them, everything went up and I fell off the island and died. I think you should hav...

I just finished this dungeon plan. Granted, it's built above ground and over the water (hyuck) but I think it's all good. So check out the sample if you like. It's best to play this at night to get a good feel of underground and grab a few torches from /giveme or creative. http://ubuntuone.com/7iqjF...

Since this topic was brought up back in 0.4.4, but now with 0.4.7 and 0.4.8 coming soon what are the conditions for this type of feature?

3rd person with a slightly different control scheme would be nicer. That way 3rd person won't feel awkward.

Can anyone make a door mod that locks but can be opened when right-clicking with a key which then the key would be destroy after use.

I don't have time to study or break down anything at the moment.

It is pretty easy to make the formspec, but making it functional is another thing entirely. You would need to make an api for making potion recipes, and the potions themselves, as well as making the brewing actually work. That's what I was worried about. Thanks for feedback though. Perhaps in a fut...

What kind of additions are we talking about? (Also I don't have a clue how to spawn anything like flowers, but I did figure out how to spawn ores.)

I was wondering if anyone can give an understandable guide on creating a Brewing Screen. I had a plan to make a Cauldron mod with a brewing system that requires 4 items, 1 item is a bottle of water and the other 3 are various items as recipes. This is the kind of screen I was hoping to build. http:...

Do you mean "noclip"? Clipping isnt something that is considered cheating.

Oops, actually that was a mishap. Thanks.

Hey everyone, I decided to build a small challenge for everyone called Sky Quest. http://ubuntuone.com/6CcBnzjfaUAt4zMXemAeuU A Minetest Challenge for players who enjoy Sky Block games, only this sky block is a little different. Instead of one island, there a several islands. Each island are assigne...

Okay, but almost the most time I never loose any heart... So the apples and other food is a little bit unnessesary. With hunger in the normal game the food would have a better using! No, I agree. There aren't a lot hazardous stuff in Minetest as of yet. The only real danger is falling or lava, and ...

These already built-in features really should be out in the open in the main menu, not hidden away only to be unlocked in the configs. Oh well... I still think they need a new design though, so it's not stopping me.

I'm currently mapping out a dungeon right now. It'll have a crypt and some cells for prisoners. It's also design kinda like a labyrinth.

These are all available in mod format to keep the game light and fast...

I agree we need dungeons back. Only they should be designed a bit more differently I feel. The old dungeons looked more like crypts.

I've been playing with the idea of cobwebs spawning in caves that could drop string. However, I've been wondering how to regulate the amount it spawns in an area. During testing I've come across too many (I feel) and was wondering how to make them less common. Any suggestions? Here's my small code. ...

Is anyone interest in making a tree mod where a forest of trees grow underwater. I'm thinking a mod that sorta bring us to a world much different that's not really a realm-like thing. Like tree growing in the deep waters, not the shallow parts. If not, what are some useful codes I could use to make ...

We still can't even get hurt by fallen gravel or sand, nor can we get hurt when touching cactus. Mobs do add to the threat level for a survival-mode game, but we're still missing some natural threats as well. Try looking at this mod. It's not part of the default game but it does have cactus damage....

Try it and find out. (To be fair, nobody has actually done this test.)

The only way in Minetest water will drift a character is if you're swimming up a watterfall, but that's not the water pushing you down, but gravity itself.

One things that's been bugging me for some time now is the Crafting Menu and other menus for that matter in regards to closing them. I wonder if there was any plans to add an X (Close) button on the top corner of those menus so they could be closed without taking my hand out of place. I know a lot o...

Thanks, I'll work on them right away.

Hey Chinchow, I like this concept for a mod and I was wonder if you have a dropbox you can link this mod to. I'd like to make texture for MineToon.
