FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Once again a simple mod:
Jumping adds trampolines and cushions to minetest.


Cushion: You can't jump on it, causes no damage when falling on it.



Trampoline: Makes you jump high, you can set its strength by punching it. Causes less damage when falling.
The strongest setting makes you jump even higher than you fell on it --> perpeduum mobile! :D

Crafting recipes: None yet, leave a comment here or on GitHub, I prefer pull requests.

Jumping out of the map-limits?

Topywo wrote:Jumping out of the map-limits?

That's not possible as the chunks cannot be loaded fast enough. You will smash your head at a chunk border! (And even if your computer is fast enough, it will be even more painful to smash your head at the map limit - OUCH!)

trampoline:
WwW
s----s

W - wood
w - wool
s - stick

cushion:
www

w - wool

how about that?

Well, I drew the textures for the trampoline with metal legs, a suggestion of springs around the edges of the canvas, and some kind of cloth cover around the periphery, so maybe use this (and give two trampolines as the output):



(I suggest purple because that's the trampoline's weakest setting)

For the cushion, three light blue (or just blue) wool in a line seems fine.

+100 this is so fun!

put one at full power on the ground, then put another one at full power about 10 blocks above it...

...enjoy

That crashes the game and places you at weird coordinates. 8)

Love it. Great for making dynamic levels/structures. Did notice that when you jump high enough the trampoline does damage you. I consider it a feature :P. Will check out your code to learn how to influence the inertia of the player. That would be great for the portals in the upcoming portal mod for which i made some textures. btw, Portal mod is looking for people who are willing to contribute their awesomeness...

I like this mod very much, much easier than using ladders to clean my windows!

The recipe could be
Wood. Leaves. Wood
Stick. Stick

There is a recipe already.

Jeija, I just noticed (six months later ;-) ) that all "strengths" of trampolines are in the creative inventory. Can you reduce this to just one of those? Seems a little redundant since you can punch one to set its strength.

Also, I'd like to suggest that on dig/pick-up, the returned item should be the lowest-strength one, to avoid inventory clutter.

This mod seems fun. I might make a parkor map with it.

I think a good crafting recipe would be:
trampoline:
steel wool steel
stick ____ stick

cushion:
wool wool wool

and instead of "wool:white" (or any other color) use "group:wool"

Thank you jeija, I'll use this mod on my dropper in Adventure Park - in my server. I was using cobwebs, but... it's confusing for novice users. But now it'll be very simple. Thank you.
