Hi, just started playing a few days ago and i really liked this..but i have 1 huge problem with this..

I'm planning to make a village and almost all the houses i'm making needs stairs as roof that connects at an angle..the stairs i'm using doesn't connect at an angle and it looks really ugly + leaves holes in my roofs.. T_T

Does anyone know a mod that had stairs connecting at an angle??

Hello Parames,

I hope I understand you correctly. I dont know a mod that connects stairs at an angle. At the Xanadu server there are corner blocks like this:

Maybe someone other knows where they are from or how to create them?

I know that homedecor: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=2041
and cottages: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=5120
adds different kinds of roof blocks to the game (besides some other nice building stuff:))

edit: got the corner block (stair) working

The stairs auto-connection is not available in minetest BUT, you can do this "manually" with the mod moreblocks from Calinou => viewtopic.php?f=11&t=509&hilit=moreblocks
(you need cut the blocks properly with the Circular Saw)

I should see if auto-connection is possible. Based from what I see in mods like pipeworks and such, I bet it would be rather painless.

It would be pretty easy to code, but it also limits what you can do. Sometimes it's helpful to be able to place all those roof nodes the way you like them. Automatic changes would interfere with that.

My replacer mod might also help you there in another way. You can store the rotation of one stair node and don't have to pay too much attention to which direction you're currently facing when using it.
