Hello
This mod will introduce 12 decorational plants to minetest, these decoplants can be crafted by placing 8 leaves in square
shape in your crafting table, then put any dye in the middle and it will make a decoplant of it's color

Here i present my first mod it adds not 1 not 2 not 3 but 4 Decorative plants!
You can look at the crafting recipes in the Readme file (i don't think iv'e got the crafting working yet)
You need to put a i in all four crafting receipes
{'stick', 'stick', 'stick'},
{'stick', 'leaves', 'stick'},
{'stick', 'stick', 'stick'},If the crafting dosen't work you can use creative mode to get them!
Here's is the download link

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/102401091/screenshot_3963243559.pngHave fun!
I plan to add more exciting feature's! such as glowing decoplant's (when i learn how to)
--> light_source = (see for example the glowglass in the moreblocks mod) I also plan on making more mod's!
And you are free to do whatever you wan't with this mod.
I also used one of VanessaE's junglegrass texture's as a rough guide.

You need to use the mod name before the craft items, instead of only the item name. Example:
{
'default:stick',
'default:stick',
'default:stick'},
{
'default:stick',
'default:leaves',
'default:stick'},
{
'default:stick',
'default:stick',
'default:stick'},
I found this out by comparing your code with the crafting code in the default init.lua.

Thank's for the info Topywo. I also would like to know what are the default names of the default dyes in creative mode?

Forget about the dyes thing. I have made a new update which has simpler crafting. The crafting now works!

How do u change colours of the decoplants

Posted:
Fri Sep 28, 2012 02:59
by Josh
I open mtpaint graphic editor (on linux that's what i use for graphics) Then i open any decoplant image and change the colour
with the pencil tool. Then i save it in the texture's folder under a different name then i register the new decoplant in init.lua and Viola!
a new plant has been added.

What if, instead of being crafted, the plants spawn at random and can be ''dyed'' to make decorational plants?
:D

Hmm.....well maybe that would be good. Would it be best to use unified dyes or the default mod?

Unified dyes if you want a large variety; default dyes if you want less non-default dependencies.
