Hello cubic people, the mod add new way to get mese crystals (mainly crystal fragments). I inspirated by gold prospecting, but you need really big imagination too see it.

Describe
At first you must add gravel block to a bucket with water ...

+ Spoiler

... now you only pour the bucket of a "watergravel" on a ground. But it is important to know that water will disappear if you place the watergravel on nonsolid blocks (sand, gravel, dirt). After a lapse of time you see yellow points on the watergravel texture. You only dig the block and it drops mese a crystal fragment (+ crystal fragment with rarity 2 and another with rarity 4 and mese crystal with rarity 16).

Demonstartion

A few minits after...

For inspiration
Mese mining room, inside the room, containers behind the walls.

Note
If you want take the watergravel back it is better to have empty bucket and shovel. Of course you can use only hands, but ... ;)

Informations

Oh, thank you for thinking of this, this will make casual playing so much more enjoyable. I'm sure someone could tie in a couple other "finds" in this, should be interesting.

Received this error today, think it has happened before but deleted debug since and forgot to mention it

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

Here's the image of an automated machine to process it, sometimes I get the wet gravel node through the node breaker, not sure if this is the possible cause of Tony's error, as the system runs on Tony's server.

EDIT: noted that wet gravel requires an empty bucket to be dug!!!

I rechecked with your latest version and can confirm a node-breaker will remove the wetgravel node.

Hope you don't mind, but I jumped into the source to see if I could find it and came up with the following: -

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

Code: Select all: minetest.register_node("meseingravel:watergravel_1", { tiles = {"meseingravel_watergravel_1.png"}, groups = {falling_node=1}, diggable = false, on_punch = function(pos, node, puncher) -- \check\ If you have a shovel and an empty bucket, your bucket will be replaced by bucket_gravel local tool = puncher:get_wielded_item():get_name() if string.find(tool, "shovel") then diggable = true for i=0, 32, 1 do name = puncher:get_inventory():get_stack("main", i):get_name() if name == "bucket:bucket_empty" then puncher:get_inventory():remove_item("main", "bucket:bucket_empty 1") puncher:get_inventory():add_item("main", "meseingravel:bucket_gravel 1") minetest.remove_node(pos) return end end minetest.remove_node(pos) minetest.add_node(pos, {name="default:water_source"}) minetest.add_item(pos, {name="default:gravel"}) -- /check/ else -- | If you have not shovel the watergravel_ will be replaced by water and drop gravel minetest.remove_node(pos) minetest.add_node(pos, {name="default:water_source"}) minetest.add_item(pos, {name="default:gravel"}) end end, sounds = default.node_sound_dirt_defaults({ footstep = {name="default_gravel_footstep", gain=0.45}, }) })

made the node diggable = false unless the wielded tool is a shovel, then switches to true.
Also added extra lines to make the gravel drop from the water if using a shovel, but without an available empty bucket. This way, the gravel drops out on all tools or punch ;)

It doesn't allow the node breaker to remove the node with a bucket however, but don't why anyone would if you're putting it out to dry!

No, all suggestions are welcome. I am working on some improvements of the mod. So I am including my and yours ideas in new version.
