Obsidian glass door

Hi there,

a searched via google (for this forum | site:minetest.net) but couldn't find that they exist.

My questions:

Is an obsidian glass door?

If not where should it be added? Official mods (like doors) or some of the bigger well known community mods?

I don't want to creat just another mod just for a *type* of door.

Greetings lightonflux

Why not create just another mod just for a door? I have made a number of personal mods that each do different things. For example, I have a mod that changes the default dirt, stone and desert stone so they have a chance to drop something else when dug. For the dirt there is a low chance of getting a lump of clay. For the stones, there is a chance of getting a lump of ore or coal or even mese or diamond - a very low chance of mese or diamond, one per thousands of digs. :)

I don't see anything wrong with have a small mod that does just one thing. Makes it very easy to decide if you want it in your world or not without having to drag in a bunch of stuff that you may not want.

I suggested it in the thread for the "doors" mod. So people who want doors can load one mod and not 5 or so. :)

Perhaps it ought to be added to homedecor. That already has a good size of diffrent decorative doors. For most purposes, the normal glass door ought to suffice. I think it fits to obsidian glass as well. After all, if you have too large glass sections without frames, animals might get irritated and you'd have to add the image of an eagle in order to keep birds from crashing into your door :-) (fortionately there usually are no birds around in MT; but one never knows...).

Tonight on Minetest news: Bird mobs that don't exist, crashing into large skyscrapers, and not affecting anything in the slightest. In related news, we still don't know why birds aren't around in the first place. In related news that relates to the related news that relates to the news that relates to Sokomine's post, I just realized that none of this matters.
