FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

The movement is kind of jerky but I like the map gen. You don't see Sheer cliffs (which I like stumbling upon) anymore in Minecraft because they tweaked the mapgen too much.
The OS 10.9 version crashed in 10.10 so I tried PC. Stable so far.

Does anyone know how to smooth out the motion. He just kind of hiccups when he's smashing blocks.

Welcome.

I don't understand what you mean by "smooth out the motion", could you explain that please?

I guess (s)he is getting a low framerate.

@evyse: When you press F5, what is the number after "FPS = " on the screen?

It turns out, due to the block-breaking animation being slightly different from Minecraft, it tricked my brain into thinking it was choppy. Frames for huge vistas is 30-40fps. Usually 60-90.

It's so cool the world is so deep but how do people travel 31km up and down to transport supplies??

That's because the current chunk gets updated (16*16*16 nodes (= blocks in minecraft)), this causes a framerate drop.

You can use elevators (travelnet mod) to teleport from home to somewhere else. Very useful.

You can build elevators like that - it is kind of a bug, I think. shift and space to climb.

OK Awesome. Where the persistent servers at?

AH Yes, Ye olde google search delivers:

http://minetest.net/servers

Isn't a bug, (or maybe it's the best bug in history, so the devs look at other side) It's in minetest since ¿What, the start?

When you shift and jump, you jump a little higher than usual. It is used for going over fences. So, shifting and jumping causes to to fly up in the same way.

you alread said it was fine but if you go in settings you can disable stuff like shaders
btw how much was your computer
