I like coal glass and bricks.

[Calinou]

Updated, version 2! :)

[lordawe]

Hi Calinou!
Thank you for cool mod!
I like Glowing glass and I have one suggestion with it, if you can add other Glowing glass which will emit more light than a torch or equal amount of light?
It could be: X=torch, O=Glass
X
X
O

Thank you!

[lordawe]

Calinou, can you make various Trapdoors using the same technique in Trapstone and Trapglass? :)

[Calinou]

Added a super glowing glass... :)
For now, it has the same texture has standard glowglass.
Any suggestions on the texture? I don't really know how to make it correctly, I still want super glowglass to be transparent.

edit: done now.

[Calinou]

Thank you!

...why height checks?

[neko259]

...why height checks?

Maybe he means more ores mod. I've seen ores just in the middle of dirt or grass there.

[sdzen]

wrong mod sorry! i was really tired last night XD

[Gambit]

I love this mod. I'm playing with this the most and hoping to make some textures for my MineToons pack. Keep up the good work.

[Gambit]

I have 2 questions.

I can't seem to make the plankstone because... well, plank? What's a plank in this game?

Second, the ironchecker is dodgy. It seems to have trouble uploading, so minetest just substitute it with something else.

I think plank is a wooden plank.

Moved, updated post.

New version, fixes the iron checker texture.

[shaunbrown1995]

not bad..
But you can't mine them, they just stay there.

[neko259]

Doesn't work with latest git (blocks are not diggable).

[LolManKuba]

I got an idea for a block, a SandBrick if you use this idea please include my name for the credits and here would be the recipe:
x=sandstone
o=nothing
xxo
xxo
ooo

If you wait till the program is out for making new blocks and tools you could do this yourself.

[LolManKuba]

yeah but it should include the regular minetest blocks for the crafting table.

What are you talking about? There isn't a crafting table yet.

Until the API gets stable (it got broken at least 3 times recently), I will not update my mod -- feel free to make your own version and post it here, I'll add it to the first post. Thanks.
