editable RGB color light sources
broaden the understanding of alpha channel for textures ... currently only recognizes 100% and 0% transparency ...
with 8 levels of transparency is more than enough because of to the small size of the textures ...
replace the node fire for a flare effect
Goraund Shader
reflections
dynamic shadows
and of course the graphics settings tab ... for those who have older computers do not we complain about render speed ...
(I included)

of time is not much, but I am content with that ...

Exactly what sort of overhaul are you planning, the engine or gameplay or both or what?

Most current mods built in would be nice. Mesecons, Moreblocks, Non Cubic, Pipeworks, worldedit+the gui, Inventory Plus.

Also add some new ones. Good 3D mobs (friendly AND hostile)(tameable/capturable), settings menu from in-game (i hate closing my server to change key bindings), NPCs built in (traders, blacksmiths, etc.), Different map sizes/types, /restart (to add mods on the fly).

Bug fixes also like wielded items not stuck in your chest.

Just a few ideas. I don't know if you're still doing this but these are things I would like to see.

You can start a "dedicated" server from a command line if you want to run a separate server and client.

How do I do it though?

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: screenshot_dir = ../screenshots

puts screenshots in "screenshots" directory of your Minetest directory.

Where do I put this?

Add that line in your minetest.conf (which should be in your Minetest directory).
