https://github.com/ac-minetest/minetest_mymodHi. This is first attempt at minetest modding to see how various things work over here. Server is
survival oriented PvP with protection and mobs.
Server features: My own mods:- skills system with player characteristics/effects, item requirements and rewards
- magic spells like fireball, heal, slow, float
- changing gravity with height (like in terraria), sun burns unexperienced players far away from spawn, unexperienced players move slower away from spawn
- tweaked dig system ( limits what you can dig with certain tools), 3 step stone dig ( diamond pick and better in one step), dig events like acid spill and cave in
- changing enviroment ( water freezes/thaws as in minecraft )
- attempt to immerse new players into game with increased difficulty and rewards
- ingame puzzle games like sokoban, checkers
- ingame maze generator based on depth first search backtracking
- ingame rotating chatlog
- jail system with quick voting
- noclip cheat detection,
...
Tweaks of other mods:- tweaked farming where seed can also grow back and fail completely. Working with hoe on field decreases fail probability.
- lots of small tweaks (like prevent other players from breaking into protected houses easily )
- tweaked simple mobs mod to adjust monster behaviour and properties ( more difficult away from spawn)
- acid from carbone
Server is supposed to be self administrated ( not a lot of admin interference with players )

Detailed server features:DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SERVER
SKILL SYSTEM:
each action by player ( mining, killing, farming) raises the relevant skill (dig skill, experience, farming skill). Skills determine how well
player can function.
Experience:
limits how well can player function in the enviroment:
-limits efficient usage of weapons ( stone sword - lvl2, steel sword - lvl3, bronze sword - lvl4, silver sword,guns - lvl5, ..)
-With too little experience player will walk slowly far away from spawn ( speed reduction (7./5)/(distance/500.+1.), this is corrected by
experience
-Also there is a limit how far from spawn player can wander (max_dist = 500+(magic+experience)/10), before effects of exhaustion
set in. Effects include damage while player is in strong light ( 90% of max light).
-can be used to reduce other player's jail sentence by 1 ( costs 100 xp)
Experience is obtained by killing monsters ( farther from spawn more experience, monsters with more max hp/armor give more xp)
Magic:
-player can invest experience points into magic points and mana points.
-To cast magic spell player needs enough mana, which regenerates on its own ( (magic skill/200+1)*0.1 mana regenerated every 2 seconds).
Mana points are limited by max_mana quantity.
-Magic skill directly affects the power of spells and duration of spell effect.
Available spells: heal, fireball, slow, float
Mining skill:
limits how deep underground players are able do dig stone (max_depth = dig skill/5 +200). Also with larger dig skill players
have access to better pickaxes, otherwise they break quickly. Larger dig skill will additionaly enhance durability of pickaxes.
Mining skill is gained by (duh) mining. Mining better ores gives more xp (stone<coal<iron=copper<silver<gold<mese<diamond<mithril).
Farming skill:
Plants can grow on wet farming dirt or wet farming sand.
When seed is planted it is given quality equal to 20 + player farming skill. During growing plant grows larger, with
probability 10/quality it fails to do so and grows one step back toward seed. If plant fails completely ( back to seed ),
block under it turns to dirt and plant changes to grass.
Each application of hoe during plant growth increases quality by 4. Additionally, on each step of growth quality decreases
by 3. So to grow crops successfuly you either need high farming skill OR need to work on plant with hoe during growth.
Farming skill increases when player harvest succesfuly grown plant. Once plant fully grows it will change block under it
into dirt.
ENVIROMENT:
Harsh desert populated by monsters, which become more dangerous ( more attack damage, better armor, more health) as player moves away
from spawn. Enviroment imposes extra difficulties on inexperienced players should they wander too far away from spawn.
Gravity changes with height, above height=y=50 its reduced by factor 2/((y/50)^2+1.)
Diving in water becomes dangerous when player dives below depth 10 and damage increases with depth. More shallow water ( >=depth 5)
imposes movement speed decrease.
Players are encouraged to place protector which will make their homes into hard to get into fortresses. Any non authorised player
is interrupted and reminded upon digging and slowed. If he doesnt stop digging he is sent to jail (after 3rd warning). Players that
spam locked chests without protecting them ( using protector ) can loose their chests either by tnt destruction or takeover (other player
places protector nearby and attempts to takeover, has 2/3 chance to succeed or 1/3 chance to loose protector).
Players can place city block to punish players killing inside city area. Upon 3rd kill suspected player goes to jail. It is impossible
to get out of jail until sentence has been served. After that player must wander through small labyrinth to freedom or get another
player to open jail door from outside.
MOBS:
Grow stronger with distance from spawn, but give you more xp when killed. Mobs special to this server:
-rats attack and drop can drop small pieces of wood when dead
- bees will attack nearby players and can fly up in air. They can be picked up and placed ( in that case they wont attack owner).
They can spawn from beehives and attack intruders.
-soldiers will shoot from far away and drop steel/bread
-water monster spawns inside water and can swim or follow player outside water. It is capable of basic short distance flight.
NEW BUILDING BLOCKS:
-landmine: mese activated, it slows all nearby players and reduces their hp (gradually) to 1hp.
-gravity machine : can alter gravity when mese activated, it can be used with deadly effects by hurling player high in air after which he
falls to his doom or for deadly drop traps with increased fall damage.
-chicken spawner: spawns chickens as long its placed on top of working furnace).
