Great mod idea. I really like it.

I would suggest that you change the actual wood crafting with the tree to a new recipe:
When you put leaves in the crafting grid you get 1 stick
Then you can create basic pickaxe and axe by putting sticks this way

SSS
XSX = basic pickaxe
XSX

XSS
XSS = basic axe
XSX

Those will of course be less efficient and have less uses than the wooden tools

Why gets the player a lava-source and not a lava bucket?

Thanks. I'm not planning on adding any tools or items into this minimal version. The aim is to get the mods working for the most basic concept of a skyblock game.

I may release a mod-packed version that has goals and rewards (as well as hundreds of craftable items).

So they don't get 2 buckets. I want them to have minimal things, so that misplacing a block really hurts.

Also, this works really well with your item_drop mod cos you have to ensure you don't lose items off the edge. =)

The velocity to the sides is too slow for that.

can i ask - what is abm?

active block modifier - its a way to make stuff happen in minetest mods

thank you

Good i dont install

Is there a way to get more than the 1 water source you're given?

Cant play this.
View goes black, I can see a bar where the hearts are, the minetest blah blah FPS=60 and thats it.

/giveme default:water_source .. or join as a second player then build to the first player.

Sometimes the client too fast and the mod doesn't create the spawn block. I'm still working on a better solution. For now you can just quit an rejoin. If there is still no spawn block then join with a new username.

I am going to provide a /restart command which will empty your inventory then give you a new spawn position.

If you would give the player 2 water sources + 1 lava bucket, they could make themselves infinite water sources.

done

game has been updated, requesting move to Mod Releases

You didn't make nyancats stop being generated, which results in nyancats beyond reach taunting the player (since they always spawn below -64)

Are you sure they are only below -64? I saw one fly past above me, but it was while i was falling, so maybe you are right.

It was the 1st one i ever saw! =)

Below Y= -3

What do you think SkyBlock should do? Disable them, or leave them? You can always set your floor to be lower.

Leave them, they're rare enough anyway. :p

BUILD CHALLENGES

Your mission is to build the following:

11) catch a nyancat (edit: and build something with it :-P )

My 1st attempt to complete the build challenges:

When I downloaded and installed this, I was interested. When I started it up only a few minutes ago, I was started not on a floating island...but a single BLOCK.

...challenge accepted.

btw read the topic again, to have that island and a tree u have to run world edit script

The latest version is a 3x3x3 island, the lava is under the indestructible block so it can be tricky to get it into your bucket.

Also, if you get the GIT version I have modified the crafts so that you can more easily multiply your blocks.

cobble -> gravel x4
gravel -> dirt x2
dirt -> clay_lump x4

You can also multiply your ores which I think is kinda fun:
coal+stone -> coal with iron x2
or iron+stone -> stone with iron x2

You have to dig them, then you can double them again.

For this reason, I think i'll make them a startup item and not a drop. This way the player has to be careful not to use the last one.

I did that, and I had the original spawn nodes and the skyblock plus nodes right next to each other, but I couldn't climb onto the skyblock plus nodes without falling. :\

Issue this chat command:


Then press K to enable fly and J to enable fast move.

Also, checkout the latest git, you spawn on spheres (you can tweak the sphere properties in config.lua)

Ahh, I gotta fly there. I didn't want to cheat, after all. xD And will do.

Also, it won't break anything if I disregard your instructions and just drop skyblock_game into the games folder of my mineTEST directory, will it? Seems easier than copying mineTEST_game and all that.

Minetest version????
Please link the version
