Tired of the same trees?

Get this mod to put new conifers on your map!
Includes two types of tree with two sorts of leaves to make your landscape more diversified.

You can also configure the conifer generation in the first lines of conifers/init.lua such as:

• Min/max height of the conifer
• Leaves height
• Leaves radius
• Distance between each conifers
• Altitude of spawn (by default: 30 m)
• Remove normal trees
• Chance to grow a sapling
• Intervale of time for each generation

[h]What can you do with that?[/h]


Planks
Just cut some trunks (or reversed trunks) then craft them!


Reverse your trunks...
Reverse your trunks by putting two of them in your craft table!


...and put them back right again!
Put them right like before!


By the way, cut some leaves to get some saplings and grow your own conifers!

Amazing.

Awesome seen this in a lot of your photos glad to see it released:D

On your webpage, when I try to send you a message, there is no send button and the enter key doesnt work.

That's off topic but I'm coding some things and they don't work yet. ;)

Wow, Awesome!

+1! They are soooooo high :D
I wold like to have this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinus_pinea
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conifer_cone
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_nut
These things are very common where I live, it would be cool th have them in minetest :D

One thing: Should they spawn automatically, right? Because I can't find any... (I generated a new world). I have to /giveme saplings and plant them...

What are the things that don't work yet?

What kind of recipes would you make with pine nuts, and pine cones?

I could make conifer cones as sapling. I'll think about that. Thanks!

Well, you could eat pine nuts, and maybe cook this with them:

(lol)
We call them "panellets", in catalan, and they are made in autumn, around Halloween, lol.
Hey, I just found there is a page in the English wikipedia (apart from the one in catalan) for them:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panellets

EDIT: Just a note, for the ones who read the wikipedia page ^^: In catalan, "little bread" is actually "panet", not "panellet". "Panellet" has the same root, but it lost it's meaning of "little bread", to be just that thing in the picture
EDIT2: I think that if I want panellets for minetest I'll have to make the mod myself xD

Awesome!!

wow finally ! :D

Add some honey, and we got a party.

If he adds honey, he'll have to add... bees!

I will use this mod on this server and there should be a wood mod like on the INFINITY server where you can cut down jungle trees and they turn into regular wooden planks.

this should replace jungle trees!

True, jungle trees are almost useless at the moment since you can make coal with it.

hence why i said it should replace them :P

your not obnoxious jordan and this mod is grand

its not working for me, is it compatible with latest github

Yes, have you put the folder in minetest/mods/minetest?

+10

This looks GREAT! Good job!
Will it work with 0.4.dev-20120122-1?
I can't use the latest dev. (lags way too much...)

Hi! Yes it normally works with every 0.4.x. If it doesn't, post here which version do you use, OS and I will take a look.

OK, thanks! <:)

It doesn't appear any conifers on my map! :'(

You have to go above 30 m if you didn't edit the mod. You might wait a little bit too.

Otherwise, if you want to speed up the tree generation, change the the line 31 of conifers/init.lua as this:

by

It will generate a tree each 10 minutes instead of each hour (proportionally to the game's time).

Latest minetest has leaf decay. Does it work well with your mod or that beautiful leaves dissapear if too far from the trunk?

I didn't even have to generate a new map. But the conifer leaves don't burn.

i just /pulverize them

They doesn't? I was sure they could. I'm gonna fix this as soon as possible.
neko259: I think leaf decay doesn't work on my mod. I can try to make it work.
