FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Yesterday i downloaded VanessaE's Home decor Mod http://www.forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2041 and i am unable to craft her stuff, like in her crafing guide. I have a few of her stuff in the invintory but cannot find the rest. Also i cannot find Steel Ingot either. Please Help!

The steel ingot is created by cooking an iron lump. Have you tried looking in creative mode to see if the items are in your inventory? There could be some items that have dependencies on other mods which you might not have.

I have tried looking, and i found a few thing of Vanessa's but not all. I'll try cooking the Iron Lump and Vanessa's Recommended things later and see if it works. If it doesn't would it be a problem on my end? I named her mod folder HomeDecor.

Home Decor is a modpack so the name shouldn't matter, and if it is working currently there shouldn't be any difference to the amount of nodes created based on the name.

If there are any dependencies, which again I think they are, those will effect the amount of nodes that can be created.

I downloaded the Unified Inventory and the Unified Dyes Mod and was successfully was able to find everything. VanessaE should put those mods a being required instead of recommended.

DDroid, there are differences between requirements and recommends. A mod will not load if the requirements aren't available and enabled, however it will run without having the recommends. If the mods that it recommends are enabled it will have more features, but will work without them, you just loose some of the features of that mod. As they are listed is correct, maybe a note saying that you won't get all the nodes unless you have all the recommended mods would be nice, but I don't think they should change them from being recommended to required. But that's just my two cents.

True. Thanks :)
