FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Whenever you push enter when trying to search the creative inventory (an instinctive behavior for society at this point) it closes the inventory menu, leaving newcomers clueless as to what happened.

Would it be possible to make it so that is searches instead?

That is a very annoying thing. I hope this can be changed.

No, this is a limitation of the engine. It was possible years ago without hacking but caused some problems.

Pressing on [?] is not a big deal (as on Unified Inventory). Sorry for your "instinctive behavior".

It's bad UX, UIs should work towards your instincts and be predictable. I never click search anywhere, I always press enter. Why should Minetest work differently?

If every bug will be called as "engine limitation" minetest project will go nowhere.

Yes, please. Pressing enter for searching should be possible. I think the reason for this should be pretty obvious but if its not: Most other programs work this way. But closing the inventory menu for pressing enter does not make even sense.
And if it is not possible yet because of “engine limitations” then the engine must be fixed. Duh! ;-)

I've lurked here on the forums for a few weeks... and for this comment i was motivated to register:

pressing ENTER and having the inventory search window close is bad... and wrong. it's B-DONG.

Blockmen's MC-like-inventory does it somehow, though...

I noticed in 0.4.13 dev this thing. I asked also, that the research is modified. No sense pressing "?". Thank you all.

Here's a version of the creative mod that uses an ugly hack to get the enter key to work: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=14197

However, as previously stated this is an engine feature/bug of the minetest engine.

Thanks friend ;) Minetest once corrected some "historical" bugs, far exceeds Minecraft! Multiplayer Minetest is fantastic! Mod loaded directly on the server, complete customization and easy game, and ease of use (good chat commands).

I would improve the chat (colored writing and more visible, perhaps with text background in matt black, very nice), the option Activate to hide the default mod (confusing, what good view them by default?!?), In the game put default, the written above (coordinates, number of version etc.), hidden (activated with F2, and F5), first-person mode, the arm of the player does not take the textures (skins), would improve the animation of hand, maybe making it bigger, larger item tools in visual first, and prettier death screen, perhaps with Minecraft style messages. Finally a new menu, with pixel-style fonts, and text biggest chat.

- New doors? acacia, aspen, pine, jungle.

- Xpanes correct? Some blocks such as iron bars, bread, glass, walls, do not connect well with other blocks. The scales do not create the block at 90 degrees as of Minecraft (important to build)

- Change mapgen v5 and v6, with the new v7, the v5 and v6 are useless! Once changed, you can create different generations (perhaps limited maps, not endless but ideal for servers, more


Okay, I said it all;)

it works with crafting mod by BlockMen ;)
