FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

This mod adds a watering can to minetest which you can use to make some blocks wet. :-)
Currently optionally supported are the mods “farming” (Minetest Game) and Pedology.



To use a watering can, you have to first fill it up. Rightclick with it on water.
Your watering can is now full. To use it, you have to rightclick on a node which can be made wet.
You can use the watering can 24 times, then you have to fill it up again.
The watering can uses the “tool wear” bar to indicate how much water is left.
The watering can itself does not wear off and does not get destroyed by usage (it just becomes empty).

For the Farming mod, you can use the watering can on soil to wetten it.
For the Pedology mod, you can increase the wetness level of ground blocks by 1, but the maximum wetness you can reach is 2 to avoid creating mud lakes only with a watering can. ;-)

Anything else currently can’t become wet; you’d simply waste your water. ;-)
Please tell me of any mod which somehow deals with wetness, I’ll probably add support for it.

Optionally depends on:

• farming (part of Minetest Game) (for watering support)
• Pedology (for watering support)
• intllib (for translation)
• doc_items (for item documentation)
• default (for crafting)
• bucket (for crafting)

However, you should load at least one of farming or pedology, otherwise you have nothing to use your watering can on.

Mandatory dependencies: None!

The recipe could be

What to use is up to you - I'd go with a wood/plank myself, stone would be a bit heavy, metal would last longer? I know it's a habit to use mese in mod recipes but for organic play it makes things a bit tedious. Perhaps include the steel mod as a requirement for something beyond the wood?

Nice idea :)
I'd like a crafting recipe which uses a bucket in it - buckets are similar to watering cans

Nice! Using a watering can is more fun than having random water sources in/around the field.

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

Plastic (if homedecor is installed, don't define your own plastic, but use homedecor's. Otherwise, define your own)
