Wait, what? No, no, no!!!
Please don't tell me that client-sided chat commands also start with a forward slash, making them look identical to server-sided commands. WHYYYYY?

DS-minetest, you summarized very well what is wrong about the current password system. Thanks. At first join, you are only once asked for the password to set. Yes. This causes people to constantly burn account names because of a typo on the “first login” (= silent sneaky registration without warning...

Great news! Some mods of the Help modpack version 1.1.0 have been included in MineClone 2 version 0.16.0, so this subgame now includes a proper in-game help about basic concepts and all the items. https://i.imgur.com/lyck3Uu.png The mods doc and doc_items have been included verbatim (that is, with n...

Version 0.16.0 released! Nickname: “ The Helpful Update ” First big change: Help https://i.imgur.com/lyck3Uu.png The biggest change is the new in-game help system . It can be accessed from the player inventory and uses the Help modpack. It contains a basic help, a getting started guide, and help en...

What are you talking about? Typing in “vote” yields the correct result:

Both rubenwardy's and your mod appear.

@rubenwardy: We definitely should make it a requirement for mods to have an unique name before they are allowed to be moved to Mod Releases, unless there is a VERY good reason for using a duplicate name. Ignorant modders refusing to use an unique name should not be rewarded by moving their mods to M...

Version 1.1.0 released! Just a small update. Changelog: Item Help [doc_items] 1.1.0 ⋅ New API function doc.sub.items.disable_core_factoid. This function can be used to remove one of the built-in help texts, such as digging times. Useful for modders who want to change the item help to its c...

Yes, both mods do basically the same thing, but the underlying systems are very different. This mod uses Treasurer and is a bit more flexible in selecting random treasures. The possible treasures in the other mod are hardcoded, but it does not need Treasurer. This is an important difference. I felt ...

I want to place a simple 1-node decoration on the floor, namely a carved pumpkin. This is a node which can be rotated (it uses facedir). How can I use the decorations API to randomly rotate a simple decoration? PS: I just added the biome question to the modding FAQ: http://dev.minetest.net/Modding_F...

Minetest made a bad start. True, a start, but not a start which will allow us to go forward as you proposed. It is this fear of having to do all the work again, the loss of years of mods, that is keeping us here. I think we need a new start, a 0.5, that is radically different. Why do you want to nu...

Rant Mode enabled . OK, here is something which absolutely annoys me: Servers which don't let you join with an empty password. And this is freaking common! This forces me to: ⋅ Think of a password ⋅ Memorize it ⋅ For almost every server seperately This would be no prob...

Nothing new about Treasurer itself (it is NOT on my list of priorities), but I updated the first post to make it more readable. I figured it was WAY too technical. Now hopefully it should be understandable by non-technical users as well. To use Treasurer, you do NOT have to be a modder. :D If you st...

Adds chests into the default dungeons with random loot inside, using Treasurer . https://i.imgur.com/9aDCNRq.png This mod utilizes Treasurer to spawn the treasures in the chests, so there can be more variety in the treasures you can find. How to use To get look in the chests, you need Treasurer and...

A lot of sneaking related bugfixes and improvements have just been merged! https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/5327 ⋅ Extremely important bugfix: Sneaking no longer prevents fall damage . Finally! :-) ⋅ You can't glitch through the ceiling by sneaking anymore ⋅ Yo...

I am happy to announce that two important bugs just got fixed:

1) Sneaking prevents fall damage (Fixed after only 4 years)
2) Possible to glitch through ceiling by sneaking

And a whole bunch of other sneaking woes.

Mese, of course!

Ah, increased durability is also OK. I think your mod can stay that way.
I thought both armors had identical properties.

I disagree with negative fire protection for wood. Wood is already pretty weak, the player should not be punished for using the lowest tier of armor. And stu: Cactus armor and wood armor have the identical protection. I just checked it for each piece of armor individually. Even the shields are equal...

I'm not sure. How do you place the rope when you're at the bottom of a cliff?

So.. hopefully that all made sense. I will though submit an issue to GitHub suggesting a new API for all HUD elements which if it gets enough interest, I will attempt to implement.

Great, I'm checking this out.

DISCLAIMER: This is NOT the official changelog, nor is it EVER intended to replace the official changelog. Minetest ItemStackMetaRef , a different way to store item metadata. Items can now change their description at run-time dynamically based on metadata. Default climbing speed increased from 2 to...

As I already said in the other thread, I'm not excited about this mod. As a modder myself, I don't see the benefit from using this mod, so I won't use it. hudlib.after which uses a named queueing system replaces minetest.after HUDs are referenced by a name chosen by the modder List all HUDs attached...

I summarize: HUD Bars is bad because it doesn't do everything at once. This argument is not convincing. Is there anything in HUD Bars which would prevent other HUD mods which concentrate on other parts of the HUD from doing their job? Apart from HUD Bars: You also said you feel unhappy with the Mine...

Thank you sofar. Yes, is was indeed my fault, I have now found the solution. Farming plants now use meshoptions and have the “#” shape. The fun thing is, I was already aware of place_param2 and I set it properly to 3. But I totally forgot that I also have to set param2 each time I do a minetest.set_...

More MineClone 2 development: https://i.imgur.com/gKiSHIQ.png Note the new color of the tall grass and ferns. And the 2-block high plants, of course. Everything placed in Creative Mode, however. It's amazing what a simple change (2-block high plants) can do. I think other subgames could definitely b...

I found a v6 gravel biome!


https://i.imgur.com/I3cm6XL.jpg

I haven't seen a gravel biome since a VERY long time. I'm so proud. :-)

How could you find these floatlands, if you can not fly?

Pillar-jumping and lots of patience.

Well done, but still a lot to do just to get close to Minecraft vanilla I know, right? xD The work ahead seems endless … But looking how far MineClone 2 has come in 2 months, I still think I can pull it off! btw: you can use now meshoptions for plants to get the croplike look from Minecraft, for ex...

cx384: In the dark ages (0.3 and before), Minetest (then called “Minetest-c55”) had actual mobs, and the firefly was one of them. I think this is what this texture was used for. The firefly was a little yellow dot which randomly flies around and you could collect and release it, but it had no actual...
