Hello everyone!
This is mod adds boats to Minetest. Craft a boat like this:

place it on water and jump in with a rightclick. Turn the boat with A and D and accelerate and decelerate with W and S.
Have Fun!

If anyone can provide new textures I will gladly take them.

Great mod!

o_O Great mod again PilzAdam !

very good mod ^ ^ boat, the question will be what to do with a car that your mod?

A question: where does the power come from ? ;)

IDK, ask the Minetest god.

is this strange that these boats work better than minecraft ones?

These boats work better than minecraft boats

You should give them a fancy drawtype :D

Great!

Epic! Im gonna try this out :)

Awesome. Thank you!

Really good! But riding the boat is buggy.

This truly is amazing. Could you use a 3d mesh (Taoki) for this?

Awesome stuff - loving it!

As I mentioned in the first post the graphics are just dummy images/models. If anyone can provide better graphics or an model I will add them. Also nodeboxes are welcome.

Ok, here is a naïve contribution : http://dl.free.fr/khCLm1Iv6 (put all the files in /mods/minetest/boat/models, create it before)

And here is how the boat definition (in init.lua) should be modified :



Maybe two animation frames should be defined : one with the boat higher than the other (for when it's empty).

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

local boat = {
    physical = true,
    collisionbox = {-0.5,-0.4,-0.5, 0.5,0.4,0.5},
    visual = "mesh",
    mesh = "boat.x",
    -- visual_size = {x=1.2, y=0.8},
    textures = {"boat.png"},
    driver = nil,
    v = 0,
}

Maybe two animation frames should be defined : one with the boat higher than the other (for when it's empty).

Thank you!
But I think its a bit too... big. Maybe create something smaller (maybe you can look at the Minecraft ones to get inspiration).
But anyway, thanks a lot for trying!
Here is a picture how it looks in-game:

If people like this I will add it, but I think some smaller model would fit better.

(Thanks for adding the screenshot, btw)

Well, it's far from perfect or finished. Took me a couple minutes on my lunch break. I'd like to try something more "rafty", as soon as I have time to.

Regarding its size, I'm not too sure. After all, the player should fit. I'll see what I can do.

Now, when it comes to Minecraft inspiration, I try to forget I ever played this game (as good as it is) when modelling. :]

I created a branch for the model. Download:

I get an error from line 53: on_rightclick, or something like that. Do I need the latest version? i'm using 4.3

Sure you get an error when the mod tries to attach the player with a function that is added in 0.4.4

Oh, nice. I forget who I was talking to the other day, but they were telling me that Minetest should have boats added to it.

Ok, here is a whole other take on the matter : http://dl.free.fr/fHqvYJm3h

This is also my first try at UV texturing under Blender, so it's a bit rough.

This looks better, but is too small. If you make this one bigger and remove the thing at the back of it its fine.

Ok, I'll work around those lines then. Though I kinda like the rear-piece (or, more precisely, being able to tell its front from its rear)

Something to see what is front and whats back is cool, but not this thing ;-)

Doesn't run. Running 0.4.4, I have had this problem with many of your mods before and it is incredibly annoying. Any ideas at all? I was really looking forward to actually having boats, but it doesn't work.

You have to rename the "boats-master" folder to "boats". ;)

The thing on the back looks like a rudder! It's a nice addition to a boat. Perhaps there can be diffrent models? The larger one isn't bad either. Plus the smaller one as a raft. Or - for those people who don't want to build a boat - floating horizontal trees.
