Update : the small flower pots have been converted in mesh.

Regarding the sunflowers, you'll definitely run into some - I think I need to turn the spreading parameters down, as they seem to be too prolific.

Eating a healthy brown mushroom potion heals me for only half a heart. Nevermind, it increased half a hunger, I was at full hp, so I need to see what it does when I am dmged. Ignore this.

Hi, VanessaE. Plantlife and More Trees are awesome! :) Really immersive compared to just seeing the default trees. However, I have one problem: I can't craft slabs and stairs (and possibly other objects that need wood) from your trees. I can create planks and sticks perfectly well.

I don't know if this has already been addressed before, but I tried searching the thread for 'slab' and 'stair' and found no results. Anyway, thanks. :)

You should rather post it in More Trees.

But, anyway : have you installed More Blocks ? This mod is used by moretrees to create stairs and many other blocks (29 differents stairs for each wood !).

Caerulean wrote:Plantlife and More Trees are awesome!

I agree, definitely ! :)

Moretrees' slabs/stairs/etc are only available by using the saw in Moreblocks/stairsplus.

Oh, thanks! I was trying to avoid More Blocks because I wanted to keep my game simple but it seems I do not have a choice. xD :)

nooooo do not avoid more-blocks. It's so common on servers, together with more-ores, it is almost a default addition.

Rather let's make more- blocks part of the the default Minetest-Game. ;-P

Yeah, I downloaded it already and solved my problem perfectly. xD My Minetest life feels complete, hehe.

New problem. Sorry if I am ignorantly bothering people and perhaps I shouldn't be posting this in this thread, but my sister and I can't seem to play together without lagging caused by Plantlife and/or More Trees. We can play separately with no such problems, even with nearly all graphic enhancers and shaders on, so I am assuming that it's the server that's having problems loading and processing all the stuff in. Any tips, solutions, or workarounds? Thanks. :)

If you're using the latest plantlife from the git repository (not the version in the mod store nor the version debian has), it should not cause a significant amount of lag. A few seconds from time to time as new terrain starts to generate, at worst.

I believe I downloaded the mod from this link - https://github.com/VanessaE/plantlife_m ... master.zip - which is found in the top post of this thread.

Update: The "trunks" component in this modpack has been updated to rely on default pine tree nodes instead of the ones moretrees used to supply. As a result, it now requires a very recent copy of minetest_game, and if you have Moretrees, you'll need to update that as well.

Important update:

I have split the plants_lib mod off into its own repository, and have finally renamed it to "biome_lib". As a result, all functions therein are in the "biome_lib" namespace instead of "plantslib". An alias (with a deprecation warning) is provided for backward compatibility.

That mod can be found here: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=12999

The mushrooms component from this modpack is now mostly obsolete, and has been rewritten and renamed as a "3d-ify" mod for the mushrooms now contained in minetest_game.

This modpack, or at least that specific component, now requires an up-to-date copy of minetest_game (particularly the default and flowers parts) from commit 408ee69f or later, and a new enough Minetest engine to run it. When 0.4.13 comes out, that will work fine too.

Yay! A mod that supports the dev version of MT!

Small update: the "trunks" and "woodsoils" components now use default pine, jungle, and acacia tree nodes instead of their old Moretrees variants.

You'll need an up-to-date minetest_game as mentioned before.

Another update: Made nature_classic's blossoms use default leaf decay code.

I've been opening worlds and I get a message that says I have a naming conflict. I'm using the minetest game not a subgame and I haven't even used this modpack on that world. Why does it say that I have a naming conflict? It includes every mod in the modpack.

If it says you're getting a naming conflict, then you probably just need to rename the main Plantlife folder -- it needs to be "plantlife_modpack" (with an underscore), and it belongs in either <minetest>/mods or <minetest>/worlds/<your world>/worldmods .

Do not change or rename any of the files or folders inside.

I don't, and the modpack has the right name. The weird thing? Sometimes it even happens on new worlds. It just comes up with this error

Do you have the modpack in your mods folder twice?

Nope. As a temporary resolve, I've moved the file out of my mods to another file. The naming conflict doesn't happen any more, but kinda tough when you wanna make a berry farm, etc..

I got an error :

It looks like you have the mod pack twice. One is plantlife_modpack and the other is gt modified mods/plantlife_

@Alienant1 - what version of minetest are you using and what version of plantlife?
Did you upgrade plantlife? If so did you completely remove the old one before adding the new one?

I only just got plantlife 2 days ago for the first time that I know of; it might be in there as a sub-folder of another mod and I think I have 4.7.13 or something ending in .13 anyway. it is a new update of both minetest and plantlife.

EDIT: I should add that I run Ubuntu. The files and organisation are slightly different to Windows.

EDIT2: i have 0.4.12. sorry for any confusion caused by my mistake.

Hi, I keep getting this error:




It only appears when I have enabled "3dmushrooms" from the modpack, with all the other mods it works just fine and I get no error

You need to rename that folder to plantlife_modpack (indeed , all mod folders need the "-master" removed) for the core to see it properly.

KCoombes wrote:You need to rename that folder to plantlife_modpack (indeed , all mod folders need the "-master" removed) for the core to see it properly.

I saw that too. It's a modpack, so it doesn't make any difference - at least, has nothing to do with the stated issue AFAICS.
The error is because JuanKGZ is using an older version of Minetest Game, which doesn't include mushrooms.
As this is fixed upstream, the solution is to use the latest github version of MTG.
