FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I know everyone time to time likes to play like a kid and now you can build your own sand castle. Just place the sand block down on the ground and watch it grow as it makes the terrain uneven but walkable. To build things just place normal blocks down and then place the sand block on top to cover the final product.


This does not require the latest version of minetest. As long as there is lava or water this mod should operate correctly.

Future Updates:

• Add dirt to make for a smoother terrain people have been looking for

It's a good idea but needs improvement. First of all if you want this sand you have to use give commands. Make this so that it replaces the default sand. Second of all, it sucks that the flowing has to be walkable. Maybe flowing could be redone somehow with nodebox. But yea this is a good idea.

I am not sure I understand why it sucks that flowing has to be walkable and how node boxes would fix flowing.

I'll add a way to craft the sand out either other sand or sandstone.

Maybe, add some ''quicksand'' that is hard to get out of, but you can easily sink in it, and if you are under the surface it will start killing you...would be perfect for jungle biomes or for castle moats that actually slow down griefers, instead of hurting them quickly (if they are slowed down and kept from the base, it's a lot harder for them to get across the moat)

Make this so that it replaces the default sand.

Make it optional, of course. :P

Does anybody know of a working download link for this mod?
I would like to test it.

How about the sreenshot?
