I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.
There are already HD texture packs for Minetest. VanessaE's HDX texturepack is a good example. with texture pack sizes going all the way up to 512 pixels. And special effects are already being discussed. See the Eye Candy Effects thread. And it must be noted that Minetest already HAS some good special effects that you can use. :) :) :)
EDIT: And, although it's not related to graphics, faster mapgen and farther drawdistance is something I would absolutely LOVE. And if you mean screen resolutions, isn't that already somewhat possible? (By maximizing the window?) Although. ATM they still aren't crazy high, like 2k-4k etc, but that's actually rather ridiculous for now.
