FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

It can take over 5 minutes to load a world if there are many different nodes registered. In fact, things like unifieddyes can take over a minute themselves. Most of it is filling the terminal with "Lazily creating item texture and mesh for blah:blah"... can't there be a cache for this stuff?

Try disabling preload item visuals (either in minetest.conf or the settings tab in the main menu).

Thank you. It's so much faster now.

What does that option do anyway?

If enabled all the inventory textures are genrated at startup.
