Hello,
Is it possible to block the put of item in the crafting part of the player inventory?

is it possible to view a texture from inside a node?

is it possible to view a texture from inside a node?

I don't think so. If you use free move and noclip, you can go inside a node - you'll see that the nodes become transparent when viewed from inside.

I don't think so. If you use free move and noclip, you can go inside a node - you'll see that the nodes become transparent when viewed from inside.

Or make a node-box, inside empty and around 6 thin sides.

Welcome to the Minetest Forums.

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 can one create schematics files? Are there some rules for this?

The easiest way is with WorldEdit. You may also use the lua api directly if you like.

Topic: How to make a visual effect "a small block within a glass block"?
Reason: Creating texture for 6 sides is not what I want.
More Info(optional):
The glass block is normal-size {-0.5, -0.5, -0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5} and
the small block is half-size {-0.25,-0.25,-0.25,0.25,0.25,0.25}.
However, the problem is the param "tiles".
Using two arrays cause Minetest displays "unknown node".
Is there solutions?

Why don't you use entity with " visual = "wielditem" "?

Hey,

New to the game.

My kids and I made some items using GIMP and a guide from Youtube that was made for Minecraft.
How can we put our custom items into Minetest?

We are using Minetest 0.4.7 on Linux Mint 16 - 64 Bit - Cinnamon.

That depends on the items. There are normal blocks, blocks made out of nodeboxes, entities (i.e. mobs) etc.

Creating a new block is very easy. Take for example cobble:

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

minetest.register_node("default:cobble", {
        description = "Cobblestone",
        tiles = {"default_cobble.png"},
        is_ground_content = true,
        groups = {cracky=3, stone=2},
        sounds = default.node_sound_stone_defaults(),
})


Put that code into a file called init.lua in a folder named mygreatmod, replace the "default:cobble" by "mygreatmod:myblockname" (the part before the : has to be the same as the name of the folder), change the description to what you want it to be, place your texture in a folder named textures in the mod's directory and name it i.e. mygreatmod/textures/mygreatmod_myblockname.png and replace default_cobble.png with mygreatmod_myblockname.png

You might also want to add a receipe so that your new block can actually be crafted:

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

minetest.register_craft({
        output = 'default:chest_locked',
        recipe = {
                {'group:wood', 'group:wood', 'group:wood'},
                {'group:wood', 'default:steel_ingot', 'group:wood'},
                {'group:wood', 'group:wood', 'group:wood'},
        }
})


is for example the receipe for a locked chest. Change 'default:chest_locked' to 'mygreatmod:myblockname' and change the receipe items according to your needs. That's it :-)

I know how to install mods per game and also globally. Is there a way to install mods per world?

I know how to install mods per game and also globally. Is there a way to install mods per world?

In world folder u must make new folder named "Worldmods" and here u can give mods which u want to have in gameplay

[hunterdelyx1]

Why is nobody reading https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt?

>/worlds/*WORLDNAME*/worldmods
Both mods in this folder and global mods will work.

>/worlds/*WORLDNAME*/game/mods
Creating special game for this world. Only mods from this folder will work.

is there any code behind the air nodes?/any way to write a pseudo-air node?
[spoiler=pseudo-air node defined]a node that mimics air so closely that an abm could make it pass as the original[/spoiler]

in addition to the previous request:
is there a lua entity for sam/singleplayer I could use for a texture tester/game piece

[Sokomine]

is there a lua entity for sam/singleplayer I could use for a texture tester/game piece

Yes, the model that is used for the player can also be used for mobs. Some mods do that. Perhaps the Doppelgaenger mod may help you.

Its all about this script:
Github link
The goal is, to kick all online players when the server is about to shutdown. For some reason, its not working, and im at the end with my thoughts about it. Instead of kicking the players in the list returned by .get_connected_players(), it just ignores it and starts looping again. Also the .request_shutdown call is ignored, until all players have left. The process then dies, and thats it.
The first time while testing, the shutdown request was ignored, due to the fact that i was not running the server as seperate process ( singleplayer started server ). After 'fixing' that, i inserted the kicking code, but its not working for some reason i cannot explain.
Im sure that i missed something, but i can't find it. Would be nice if somebody could point me to it.
So my question: What the cobble am i doing wrong?

You can't just "request" new versions of minetest. 0.5.0 is a long way off, and shouldn't be rushed. The first mod you suggested is possible, that might actually be something I'll give a shot at. As for your second request, try Blockmen's Creatures mod, PilzAdam's Simple Mobs, or MobF.

Hi, im trying to improve my mod and i wanted to add a series of items that upon right clicking on the ground, generates a small hollow cube (probably 5x5) with another block in the middle of the interior (probably on the floor) and a doorway. However i don't know how to do this. If possible could i have some help.
Like this;

The wool represents a block from my mod
Many thanks.
