Re: Is it possible to blend biome Y borders?
On trying this it doesn't work so well, it needs to work for biomes which are vertically stacked and have the same heat /humidity points. The reason i gave up on the idea is because it would add blend where you don't want it, for example at sea level where you want grass on the water's edge and dirt...

Re: Is it possible to blend biome Y borders?
Wow i had no idea of that method, i did try to code this type of blending into the engine but ran into some problems and gave up on the idea.

Re: Post your mapgen questions here (modding or engine)
The code that gets the biome from the biome points is actually quite simple and fast, it just finds the closest biome point to the heat / humidity point, for all biomes active at that particular y. A voronoi diagram is just a set of 'cells' that each contain points closer to the point than other poi...

Re: [Mod] Footprints and paths [0.3.0] [trail]
v0.3.0
Mod rewritten for Minetest 0.4.15,
Works with all default biomes.
Now uses default textures plus overlays for compatibility with texture packs (texture pack must contain default_footprint.png).

Re: How to use heat perlin map in mapgenv7
My mod code might help https://github.com/paramat/snowdrift/blob/master/init.lua#L66 I think you need to round the position values before using with noise. Don't use perlinmaps, they are for mapgen use. Remember the value returned has an average value of 50 and varies roughly 75 either side of 50, i...

Re: Post your mapgen questions here (modding or engine)
You could 'get' currently in-effect noiseparams in Lua using https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L2236
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

The ideal node to use is default:meselamp because it is 'glasslike' and glows, try it and see.

Re: Minetest 0.4.15
Well, water is not updated by Lua ABM, and the update range around the player is possibly larger than 3 blocks (the setting for Lua ABMs).

Yes in all mapgens except mgv6, in shallow water in red stone desert, savanna or rainforest, it's quite rare.

Don't use biome_lib mod, use the biome heat noise parameters here (and ignore the heat blend noise)

Re: Minetest 0.4.15
Bushes were added to provide wood for a tool if you spawn far from a forest, so they have to provide a wood plank. The bush leaves don't decay because the nodes are intended to also be usable for hedges, ornamental hedges or hedge mazes. It also reduces load on the already intensive leafdecay ABM. T...

Re: Different soils for forests
I would like a different top texture in coniferous forest that has dried needles, maybe we will.
I would also prefer a darker, richer soil colour, the light brown is ugly.

Re: [Modsearch/Bug]Gravity disabled
Sounds like your .conf file is setting gravity in singleplayer, look for 'movement_gravity = ???' and delete that line. Or find that in advanced settings menu and change it to 9.81.

Re: Post your mapgen questions here (modding or engine)
I guess if a biome is not found a decoration will then be placed in all biomes, so also delete any unwanted decorations. Don't touch 'persist'. You want to adjust 'offset' and 'scale'. 'offset' is the average density, 'scale' is the density variation either side of 'offset'. So for patches set 'offs...
