Simple question

Do you guys think moreores should be in the default game.I mean its useful.Im not saying I will vote yes but I just want to see what people's opinion is.

Moreores is quite an old mod I'm sure if the developers wanted it in the default game, they already would have done so(not saying they won't add it).

[MEGASPARK]

I think moreores are important like the vote says, so i voted yes. more people prefer normal or default game, so adding moreores to default would make the game more awesome. right?

[Jordach]

Yup. Moreores makes the game more fun.

I had moreores installed, but because it has no use I removed it. But it is still a nice mod.
If you want it in the default game it needs to be updated. Especially: more uses, better textures, less rainbowcaves (maybe using my perlinore).

Moreores is used by other mods actually. Technic uses it for some things, as do my Home Decor and Pipeworks mods.

I say add it to minetest_game along with the More Blocks mod.

Moreores would give me more things to stash in my secret treasury. If that's not useful, I don't know what is! I wouldn't use it for much else, but it's fun to have a full stash.

More blocks would be fun, but I think it has some issues that deter the higher-ups from adding it to minetest_game. Crafting dry shrubs into sticks makes little sense. Also, crafting glass and a torch into glowing glass makes little sense. Don't get me wrong, I love super glowglass, and I use it in large quantities on servers that have it, but I think most of the recipes in the default game are more logical. In addition, to get an empty bookshelf, you craft a regular bookshelf, then remove the books (the books are mysteriously gone). It seems like it should be the other way around. You make an EMPTY bookshelf, and ADD books to it in a craft.

I don't think moreblocks will be added to the game, but there might be a possibility that things from moreblocks will be integrated with the game, or with default itself.

Digging just coal, iron and mese is a bit boring. Moreores is great in that respect and ought to be there whenever you plan to mine. Since it has to be there when the chunks are generated, it is best to have it in default. Anyone not wanting it can still remove it from default for the local copy.

Other mods are a bit diffrent. I do like moreblocks, homedecor and 3dforniture - wouldn't miss them on any server where I want to build anything. But I don't use them on singleplayer because that's mostly focussed on things like rich plantlife, lots of fancy trees, animals roaming around and other things to play with.

Maybe the initial README of Minetest ought to point to some mods useful for general gameplay (i.e. those three if you want to build houses). The normal minetest_game does not contain much.

Concerning moreores again: Why are there so many mods that - amongst other blocks - generate ores and all provide their own copy of generate_ore(..)? There's the ore generation in default; then there is moreores; technic, diamonds, gems, gloopores, darkage, sumpf, titanium - they all come with their own copy. From a programmer's point of view, I definitely don't like cut&paste code where it can be avoided. So please split moreores into a generic part that adds a generic function that can be called by whatever mod wants to add another ore and one file that does add the actual moreores-ores. Anyone not wanting moreores could then easily comment out the single dofile-line.

I don't like my mods to depend on other mods if possile.
