FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

This is my first mod. It adds a block that when punched sets a new spawn point for the player. Then when the player dies instead of moving to the default spawn point, they move to the point that they punched the spawn point block. If they have not set a spawn point using a spawn block the default spawn behavior is used.

Spawn block crafting recipe:
stone, stone, stone
stone, steel ingot, stone
stone, stone, stone

Known issues:
Block is not diggable

Future:
Add a command to set custom spawn points for players w/o using the block
Different block texture

Code: LGPL
Textures: WTFPL

Mod dependencies: default

There are many /sethome mods in the forum.

I hadn't seen any, I thought I was being original. Oh well it was good experience.

Maybe you can be the first to make a mod that allows more than one /sethome, and actually works instead of crashing upon setting home #2?

Don't worry that similar mods already exist. None does exactly what yours does, so it's a welcome addition to the Minetest mods.

Now that you know of other similar mods, you can "borrow" some features of them to make yours better:
