Hello,
Minetest version: 0.4.13 (the latest present in Ubuntu 16.04 standard repository).
Talking of Minecraft, there is a square of loaded chunks (player-centered), where activity is going on (crops/trees/etc growing, etc).
What is the Minetest parameter equivalent? Simply speaking, how far may I go away from a block, so that activity remained in it (tree/crops growing etc)?
Thanks.

Got it, thanks. I wonder, what's realistic value used by most server owners 9if above the default 3)?

As \minetest-0.4.14\minetest.conf.example say
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
# How large area of blocks are subject to the active block stuff, stated in mapblocks (16 nodes).
# In active blocks objects are loaded and ABMs run.
# type: int
# active_block_range = 2
Default '3' = 3*16 block used ABM I think so much as server may care )
But don't know is it sphere radius or resource per user.
