I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe. Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow, away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

Tree plus mod

by sda97 » Sat Aug 04, 2012 07:05

I do not really like the standard trees in minetest. I was thinking how to improve them, and wrote a small mod. It allows you to climb up through the leaves, as the ladder, making the tree trunk rounded, lets cut the tree, pull up the lower unit. Besides trees, hanging in the air, will collapse.

super rounded(on slower computers can cause a slight lag): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/82810123/minetestmods/tree_plus_superrounded.zip

Your description is sort of hard to understand, could you try to explain better? And if there are visible changes, screenshots?

it appears you can pass through leaves, the tree is rounded and there is some functionality like the timber mod here

why not make leaves climbable? Then we can put a ladder next to a tree and climb to the top...
Resources are abundant; only money is scarce. People should not have to work hard and remain poor just to pay for the needs of survival.
Society can thrive without money - but only if productive members of society are rewarded for being productive.

Nice!

Tips:
You could use the cylinder code from my irregular 3d objects mod to make the trunk look even better:

For those who want the wood to fall down, but don't want to install all these improvements, have a look at my Timber mod:

Thankyou. I used your code, but with him having a bit of lag. So I made two versions: regular and super round.
