hovering/floating sand

by bcmpinc » Mon Dec 05, 2011 21:06

In the latest version (0.4.dev-20111204-1) sand falls. However, when it hits water, it does not fall further. Which causes the sand to float on top of the water. If the water is a stream, that does not fill the entire cube, the sand hovers above the water. The sand should continue its fall into the water.

EDIT:
Here is an image:Image

the question is: bug or feature?

The sand ofter generates floating over the ground but it falls down if I destroy a block near to it. I think such floating is a bug.

I've added a screenshot, so you can see what I meant.

edit:
And I've made a fix for this bug: https://github.com/bcmpinc/minetest/commit/4c366e1ca9a67d8ceb8ef1b89fe83610e63408e8
Note that sand now falls equally fast in air as in water and lava. (This is not trivial to modify, because stacks of falling sand that enter the water would cause issues.)
