Hi everyone,

this mod lets the Grass-Landscape look better and smoother. So if Dirt with Grass builds a hill it becomes now a real Grass hill.


Screenshot:


Notice:
- If you want regular "Dirt with Grass" back, then change first line in its init.lua to "local remove_full_grass = true"
- Code at https://github.com/BlockMen/landscape

Known Bugs:
- rarely the "Dirt with Grass" becomes "Dirt" at height y=13

Depends:
default

Please give Feedback and ideas for improvement. If someone could look at code for the known bug would be nice too.

"Better Grass" reimplementation spotted! :)

I thought it could be a mod, but was not knowing. Just had seen at a Let's Play (Mc) and thought it would be nice to have more green at Minetest too.

Futhermore I want implement a few things more, but that will need more time.

Couldn't you just change the texture for grass to have the green on the sides too?

When I just redefine the texture there are strange egdes between grass and other blocks. This is most important at Cliffs or at borders of biomes.

So the main goal is to improve Grass hills and to make them look more realistic.

oh, I see now

Good mod=).

Stable version.

Nice.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Ok, it should be fixed now. Could you give me a feedback if it still crashes?

Nice!

fix-attempt #10 or w/e

here you go...

Works. But a very high load on the server. You can optimize?

- rarely the "Dirt with Grass" becomes "Dirt" at height y=13

that happens without your mod it seems to be a bug in minetest

Hmm... never noticed before so I was pretty sure its caused by my mod.

Yes, I have seen that happen without this mod. Idk why though.

Does it work with Texture packs?

Changing the side textures of dirt with grass to the top texture was the very first modification i made to minetest :)
