About explosions in minetest
there is something that bothers me about this. Explosions are cool etc, but, in my opinion they should not leave a perfect sferical shape on surface. Its 'unrealistic', they should leave irregular shapes... Maybe it's something hard to code, idk, what do you people think?

Does explosion deal a real demage? Or it just removing nodes from certain radius?
If it is a second case, then I would not call this an explosion.

Just need to use some randomizer when removing blocks in the explosion. 1-2 blocks in any side.

It's not hard to code, but minetest is not meant to be realistic (at such degree) anyway. Why would the game be using square blocks if it was the case ?
Explosions should not leave irregular shapes upon destruction, it wouldn't fit the game at all (let's not turn minetest into the shitpile of crap that minecraft is ;)).

Why not realistic? Minetest uses blocks because full voxel world wouldn't be runnable by any of current machines. If we can turn it a bit more realistic, why don't do so?
And yes, I like minecraft. I play minetest only because of it's faster development and less bugs.
