FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

There is already a mod for that. but only want to propose a cobble desert
want it to be implemented in minetest 0.5.0

In default\nodes.lua
Edit node default:desert_stone (drop)



Add node default:desert_cobble

In default\textures
Add image

I really like this idea.
I presume you would get normal desert stone from putting desert cobble in the furnace with coal.

is the same process that occurs in common stone

Which troll voted no? :) jk. Anyhow, I think it's a good idea. Textures should be somewhat more orange, unlike the bright red it is now.

Make it slightly darker red, and you've got a winner of an idea here.

Me! I think minetest needs something irregular. If there will come more binomes, then it will be again "Frozen Stone" -> "Frozen Cobble" etc. I don't like those regular things.

This modification is very good in every way.

looks like bacon to me

Bacon-based desert stone is better than invincible desert stone, wouldn't you agree?

Would it be ok to use your desert cobble in a mod I help develop ?? I'll even put it live on Xanadu server to see if people like it :)

What's the license of the texture?

This license is incompatible with the license of minetest_game; it cant be included.

Why not use CC BY-SA?

Again licensing stufffffffffff Just make it same as rest of mt game and lets merge it

Textures are nice, adds some usage to deserst, and i do like it.

Note on the comments that raised a question: what if will have jungle or frozen hills biome...
Youre partially right, but as for now basic mt game is very limited.
What attracts players is new content. Look around in online games. Almost all updates are about adding something new, but trivial.
And IT FUCKIN WORKS.
My GF is playing "Hay Day" on Android device and is really happy when she gets new decorative brick, wall, or flower.
Adding new content is one of the ways to keep folks ingame, that fights boredom.

OFC, improving engine at all, eliminating bugs is also important, but NEW CONTENT IS NEEDED AS HELL.

Okay! The license was edited.
(Just thought NC would be nice)

exactly! We need to move it

Here's the pull:

moreblocks adds them

Hello could you put desert cobble and desert stone in a zip plz

I'd like to have it now

Have added it to Xanadu server until it's live in the next Minetest...

Good idea.
I might add this to watershed mod, i was actually looking for a good default style desert cobble texture to use, as i'm useless at realistic or default-style textures.

Added to watershed mod and credited.

Everyone here: https://github.com/orgs/minetest/members
We do however have guidelines on merging pull requests so someone can't simple merge it without anyone agreeing.

I'll toss in my 2-cents. ;)

I like the newer, desert_cobble texture on this thread but I'd also like to see desert_stone have more utility like regular stone does.

Menche's "Desert Uses" mod adds desert_cobble stairs, slabs, furnace and desert_stone tools.

The changes I'd make would be:

• Swap "Desert Uses" cobble texture for the desert_cobble texture from this thread.
• Remove the desert_stone tools. They really aren't neccessary since, basically, the only difference between them and regular stone tools is that they are red.

So my vote would be to merge Menche's "Desert Uses" mod, with these changes, into minetest_game.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember that stone, cobblestone, and desert stone can be used for the same purposes. I think it has something to do with the "stone" group.

Never mind, post edited ... i made the mistake of caring about my pull request ;)

When creating this texture, I just wanted to bring some sense to the stone desert.
Although simple, it is a big step. I know there's thousands of other changes that we want to implement, but let's start from the easiest.

Thanks to everyone who voted like good idea. and to sfan5 for their help.

Hope you like the new texture.

Agreed, adding desert_cobble is a simple and logical step and adds a new block to the game itself which is already in use on Xanadu server and the users find interesting... I already use a fork of the stairs mod and add stairs, slabs and corner stairs for all blocks that need them...
