FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I am looking for mods that are similar to the mods that minecraft has can anyone help?

List the mods you are looking for, that would help...

Do you mean mods that make Minetest similar to Vanilla-Minecraft or mods like twilight forest for Minecraft?

Makes minetest a little more similar to minecraft

Does anyone know how to make a reflection so u would b able to see urself without having to go in third or first person like reflective water

That's currently not possible using lua mods. It would be possible to do by modifying the core engine, but I don't know enough about the graphics engine to tell you how.

Oh ok maybe the developers could come up with something that'll make reflective blocks work

I think that's a very low priority goal at the moment.
For now I'd just like to see basic functionality like support for client-side mods and exposing more of the graphics api to lua.

Is it possible for someone to import Pam's Harvestcraft or the quest book mod to minetest?

Quest mod exists for Minetest: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=11265

...and you would have to ask the author of Pam's harvestcraft if it's ok to use the textures from the mod so we can add all those glorious food items...

Y doesn't someone create their take on the mod and retexture the food

I've never played with harvestcraft, but I'm going to try and make one or more mods which are similar to some of the tech-based minecraft mods. I'm not going to simply copy them because I think there are many things which Minecraft did quite badly, most notably the crafting system. It'll probably be a few months before I have anything playable though. For now I'm just writing a mapgen to produce more interesting, playable, and !!FUN!! worlds.

Oh ok could I test out the mapgen when u get it done?

Could u make a version of the Carpenter's blocks mod?

You can make whatever items/nodes you want if you can figure out how the existing Lua mods work, and change the code to add the items you are wanting. Some mods even add items and nodes from a table of entries, avoiding the repetition of minetest.register_item() and minetest.register_node() function calls where it is only necessary to write out a single one (iterating through the table with ipairs() in order to add each entry recursively).

Does anybody know how to make a duel wield mod for minetest?

Or the end dimension?

I don't think dual wielding is currently supported by the engine. You'd have to learn C++ to implement that.

There aren't dimensions like in Minecraft, but there is a somewhat hackish workaround by teleporting the player thousands of blocks up or down and having different mapgen working there. To make an end-like pseudo-dimension, you'd need to write a custom mapgen which generated a large floating island (use 3D perlin noise for this, with a threshold which increases with distance from the centre), and then add whatever blocks, items, and mobs you wanted it to contain. It would be a big project.

Do u think u could help?

Sure. For a good introduction to modding, read this: http://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book/index.html
For learning to make lua mapgens, look at this thread: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9952

Try and copy some of paramat's code and modify it a bit. If you run into problems, just ask and I can probably help.

Thx

I have made a small list before which i will extend soon.
