Someone should make a mod that gets rid of shadows, or at least tones them down. There a bit annoying.

What do you mean? Can you post a screenshot of these 'annoying shadows'?

[CaptainCanti]

A mod that adds bigger mountains, and some flatland. A good mix of the two. I know I can you mg_flags to add flat land, but it makes it all flat and unnatural looking.

What is the best way to escape semicolon characters in formspec text?

minetest.formspec_escape() seems to work for everything but.

[Nore]

Try to update, it should be fixed in recent versions (more recent than yesterday).

Really? I will try that, although ideally I would like it to work with older versions too.
Thanks for the quick reply.

[Nore]

It was my pull request, so that is why I was fast to reply...

oops, I now see I have posted in completely the wrong topic, sorry!

Is anyone interest in making a tree mod where a forest of trees grow underwater. I'm thinking a mod that sorta bring us to a world much different that's not really a realm-like thing. Like tree growing in the deep waters, not the shallow parts.

If not, what are some useful codes I could use to make it happen? As well as codes to modify the design of the tree.

I also was wondering it I could use the mineral generation code to spawn cobwebs in caves.

Thanks in advances.

@ Gambit
I would either use the new register_decoration with schematic or L-Trees with the code grass/flowers/papyrus are spawned.

I prefer PilzAdam's TNT mod myself as it drops the nodes which I don't think the Nuke mod does. At least I haven't seen it in any of the videos about that mod. Here is the TNT link: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=2902

If you look on page 6, you will see how to modify it a little to make it work more like you think it should. :)

Erm... I know that this has been talked about before, but could someone please try making a pokemon mod? I know it would take a long time and all that, but even if it's not your first priority, it feels good to know that someone is trying! I'm attempting to learn Lua, but it's gonna be a while before I can do anything with... well anything really :P.

Could someone make a mod that adds multiple types of furnaces with extra features

Look at the homedecor mod. It has an API to register new furnace types.

Maybe that api should be added to minetest game?

[clarksallador]

Ahmm just a way to improve minetest is their animations..

playing cards/Gambling
each person playing has an table with inventory like thing showing the game to play. when 1 table gets set with an game, other table touching that table gets set to that game. when game is set, inventory will change to that game's starting place. You can use mese crystals or mese as a chip and put chips in so you can play. you can see other player's status on the inventory. you can play the game from there and there will be something that will keep you from sheeting. There will be chat like thing for only the peoples on table can see. when that game ends or everyone on the table shuts the inventory, it gets reset to game choosing place.

I created a silly Blackjack table looooong ago. I don't plan on making it into a full mod, and don't even know if the thing still works.

The implementation is incomplete. If someone wants to develop this project further, feel free to do so. Both code and textures are WTFPL.

[jojoa1997]

A way to animate the player model. Also it should be comparable with the various skin mods out there.

I had an idea for another mod. This mod will make the game kind of like tower defense game. in center of the map, there will be special node. All enemy will head towards the special node avoiding or attacking all obstacles. There is different types of enemy that spawn randomly from every direction at least 500 block away from special node. There will be flying, walking and underground enemy and each enemy killed will give some special materials that enemy takes time to destroy. every other normal node can be destroyed very quickly and normal weapon not made from special nodes is useless against them. Each enemy will have different amount and type of material and different life time. These special materials can be used to make castles, wall, weapons, defense robots and self targeting machine guns. Every player will get basic special blocks when starting and when game is reset. If people die, they will be respawnd to the center of the map. No one has a fly without using special jetpack thing made from special node.

I want a mod to simulate Herobrine or the Wither Boss of minecraft... it's possible?

[DeepGaze]

*balloons-when blown up stay in the air as decoration.(pop when hit)
*black hole- a black spot that circles the sun and includes another realm like moon and nether accessible by similar methods
*solar -adds more to the night sky like planets,solar systems and nebulae. this might need a control interface to avoid crowding.
*on-screen control- if you port it into a tablet via flashing the device to a desktop os it would allow keyboard-less control
*font choice- no offence the original font is good but i might want a different option to add to the game
"chat-bot- a little box that talks to you and gives hints about the surrounding area for as-long as he is in your inventory. so if there is gold in a 20 block radius or mese ect. (in the chat line specific to you. so hidden to other players)
i hope these inspire some brilliant mod builders

Try the tricorder mod,it gives the coords of nearby ores around whatever node you hit it with.
