bobblocks are integrated in my mod, i added 3 extra colors: pink, lime and cyan
(no mesecon support and no healthblock), works with bobblocks placed with original mod, please remove original bobblocks mod when using my mod

the mod adds a lot of different nodes already:
nodes with a * can be disabled in the settings file

> gem lamps
> gold mithril bordered blocks
> bobblocks*
> colorable mese blocks*
> nyan cat crafting*
> mineral bordered tables
> gold and quartz fence
> gold / silver wired pillars
> 6 various marble checker blocks with circular saw support
> mese crystal block with circular saw support
> golden pedestal (like the one in homedecor)
> silver /mithril fence
> gold /silver / quartz poles
> nodebox drawed gold/mithril fence
> nodebox drawed silverwire fence

older ones:







known bugs:

checker blocks don't appear in creative inventory (no "not_in_creative_inventory=1" used)

missing features:

color machine support for colorable mese blocks
making mese crystal block mesecon conductable

planned nodes:

piles of coins (gold)
mese - glass
mixed gem - glass
a "mesecon-block"
gold /silver statue(s)

other plans:

changing mod into modpack
>> splitting into following mods:

colorable meseblocks
bobblocks
non - nodebox - nodes / blocks only
nodebox - nodes and others

Interesting Idea, good work.

Thank you for your work

i have added gem lamps (see first post), you get a standing lamp when placed on ground and a wall lamp when placed on wall.

Good decoration mod, interesting new nodes, thank you for this mod. Maybe you can add more colors for the lamps.
Good work.

This looks nice. I like your mod. Good job!

I am glad to see that the mods moreores and glooptest are finally getting used.

i added marble pillars now

craft them like this:
MMM
OMO
MMM
you get 6 out of it

M = technic:marble
O = fine gold/silver wire for gold/silver pillars, Marble bricks for normal
(i used O for the fine wires because these look like an "O")
for the bottom elements place two pillars ,one on top in the middle,one in the middle, then place 3 marble-quarter-slabs (use moreblocks saw!!), you get 2
for the top element, it is the same recipe, except that it is mirrored

I like them but I don't think I can use your mod because I'm using the bobblocks mod and the laser mod overrides them.

Hybrid Dog, would you consider making your laser mod compatible with this mod? Perhaps add mesecons support if possible?

ok, when I have time for it...

i added now colorable meseblocks



and here the new recipe to craft a nyan cat



i don't want to add mesecon support now, and the thing with the laser mod, have you tested this with this mod, if the laser mod uses the original bobblocks , my mod is compatible with the original bobblocks mod, this means old bobblocks will be replaced.

i have planned an option to disable different features (for example bobblocks integration, colored meseblocks), this could solve this problem too, if anything else fails.

edit: i just had a cool idea: raw nyan cats (not rainbow) can be eaten and give you 6 or 8 hearts back

i upgraded this mod, added a lot of new blocks, also added support of the quartz mod.

for more information see the first post.

Nice work. Glad to see more red. There doesn't seem to be enough red in Minetest.

Wow
WOW!!!!!!!
I can't BELIEVE THIS!!!!!
This mod looks so BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!
I CAN'T believe this thing actually is your first mod!!!! This is WAAAAAY better than mine!!!!
Congratulations on the awesome first-mod!!!

I am sad to say that I have never seen this mod used on a server before. Do you still work on this, rubberduck?

i still work on it, but i don't know when i will continue.
at the moment i work on my other mod and there are so much other things i do, (OGA-artwork, my own game, other stuff with blender)

my next planned step is to make use of the meshnode feature, replacing these nodes with meshnodes.

Have you considered asking VanessaE to maintain this mod? It looks like something that she might want in her Dreambuilder subgame.

that is a good idea, as it doesn't use meshnodes yet...

it really needs an update.
i may update the mod next weekend, if no one else is going to maintain it.

(i want to focus more on updating my meseconductors mod and a mod with more light nodes is planned too)

I am afraid that VanessaE does not want this mod in her Dreambuilder project, so you yourself will have to update it as I can't see anybody else doing so.
