[Conversation] how can minetest be improved

[Alcyone]

Use the X-Decor mod, you can find them all that is missing in Minetest and have the same features of Minecraft (crafting table is even more beautiful than MC).

I tried X-Decor but impossible to find any shortcut for crafting :/ nothing in first post/github tells anything about that

-TNT be propel-able (idk if thats a word) - as in one block explodes, others go flying and explode, etc...

This is already implemented in Minetest Game 0.4.14. But it only works for falling blocks such as sand or gravel. Other blocks just drop as an item or get destroyed completely. I think this behaviour is intended and will not change.

I'm talking about TNT blocks flying around.

-Carts with chests and furnaces (-!-SPOILER-!- there are carts in 0.4.15)

You can put items into carts. Just drop them on the cart, then punch it. As far I know, there is no limit on the number of items or item stacks a cart can store.

Also, there is no Minetest 0.4.15 (yet) (Seriously, stop calling it 0.4.15 before it is actually released. It's fucking confusing).

Um, everyone knows there will be one, it's coming out this week. Or the next.

Spaghetti: the screwdriver tool has an api you can use to make better one's e.g:

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

-- diamond screwdriver (1000 uses)
minetest.register_tool(":screwdriver:screwdriver_diamond", {
   description = "Diamond Screwdriver (left-click rotates face, right-click rotates axis)",
   inventory_image = "screwdriver_diamond.png",

   on_use = function(itemstack, user, pointed_thing)
      screwdriver.handler(itemstack, user, pointed_thing, screwdriver.ROTATE_FACE, 1000)
      return itemstack
   end,

   on_place = function(itemstack, user, pointed_thing)
      screwdriver.handler(itemstack, user, pointed_thing, screwdriver.ROTATE_AXIS, 1000)
      return itemstack
   end,
})

small things, first impressions...

minetest clients serverlist needs overhaul...

It needs atleast: Search field for server name, sorting methods for players online/alphabetical...
would be nice if you could also search for player, but thats not priority imo

Aaaand to add some extra bonus for us modders/wannabemodders.. let the enter/return key be accepted as OK.. its soo damn annoying to find mouse and hit the OK button after every single iteration ;)

This will be in 0.4.15 - it annoyed me too, so I fixed it. See fields.key_enter_field

servers.minetest.net has list of all servers, which means using ctrl (or command on mac)+f can let you search for server names. Hovering over number of players gives a list of connected clients.

Thanks tenplus1. In fact I had noticed that the screwdriver had potential. Thanks so much.

I have to agree with that, and possibly a feature to search by player name, since that information is also known.
