Adds workbenches (crafting tables) with 3x3, 4x4, and 5x5 crafting grids, so bring on the complicated recipes!

This uses the new api, so requires version 0.4.2-rc1 or later.





Code: LGPLv2.1/later, textures: WTFPL

Mod dependencies: default

Download: workbench 0.2Updated to work with 0.4.2rc1
Git: Darkrose's minetest_mods github repository

Ahah, nice idea! But I like 3x3 inventory crafting.

So do I, but I figured if I create a bigger crafting grid someone'll make use of it. Plus I was testing the nodemetadata changes. :)

ahh very nice mate!

Theres not much for 3x3 workbench because of the inventory workbench

could be very useful for me - after 100 or so recipes 3x3 only provides so many combinations lol

To counter that items could be made to require specific workbenches depending on item type. Sort of like how in Skyrim you need different tables to craft different type of items.

A wood working table
A leather working
A metal specific table
A cooking table

The player inventory would be used for the most primitive items: Wood and Stone tools, transforming from tree to wood, and other things that would need more special items to work with.

wait, can the init.lua support more than 9 crafting slots? I tried to make a recipe with 4 rows (12 slots) but the game wouldnt start with an lua error every time.

I get the same error, i think..

I've tested 4x4 and 5x5 recipes, and they work fine with the new api.

Yes, the mod works in the latest version. At least when I used (smooth) stone instead of cobble...

Thank you!

Was the problem thatI did 12 slots instead of 16?

oh it is working for me now that i've upgraded to latest.

possible combinations = number of blocks + 1 (nothing) ^ 9

e.g. 15 different blocks -> (15 + 1) ^ 9 = 68719476736 combinations!

Now madblocks will become "mad".

Very nice mod, I should try it soon. I'm still waiting for a workbench to be added into MineTest officially, so it works the same as in MC (2 x 2 inventory crafting and 3 x 3 workbench crafting). Being able to do everything from inventory is very boring. Not sure about 4 x 4 or 5 x 5 recipes, but optionality I imagine those could be added to MT officially as well.

This could work great with Naqueda Circuits for the stargate DHD - making the DHD requires 5 different naqueda-powered circuit boards, and you have to ''build'' them in a 20x20 crafting grid (or bigger :D)
Great mod! This should be added to Minetest as a default ''mod'' that comes with every minetest :D

You dont get tired of copying mods do you? first you wanna copy bad command now dark rose lol.....

GameBoom is where its at :)

ACDC, he didn't copy Bad_Command

hes trying to make a mod that does exactly what bc's does, and he asked him to remove the privs restrictions cause he doesnt know how to do it, since all he has done is copied :) i rest my case

Segfault didn't know that Bad_Command had a mod, he never posted it when Segfault did.

well he has been on gameboom so he knows about it, and why are you justifying him anyway?

What is ''gameboom''?
oh and P.S. I still can't get the stargate to work when someone walks-into the event horizon, need to work on that a bit...
P.S.S. I am not copying darkrose either, I was stating that this mod should be added to ''default'' in minetest, so other mods can have more recipes.

Gameboom is a server.

Cool.
Now, I shall go help rebuild Redcrab's Server (the normal-build-stuff-you-want-server)

Appears to not support shapeless crafts. Fix please. Otherwise, yes, this is undeniably cool.

I like it because of the easyness to create complex craftable mods i make it you build it bit by bit, but with this you can build it in 1 go! +1

Does this mod even work anymore?

I just updated the zip in the first post, so it works with 0.4.2+ now.

Haven't tried the mod yet, but one question: Does this also make the default (inventory) crafting grid 2 x 2? Or can LUA not modify the size of the inventory craft area yet? A 3 x 3 workbench sounds useless until this is possible as well, but hopefully it is now.
