FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

My First mod



Features:
Dirt Grass and Sand all create pseudo blocks of themselves to create a nice gradient across Hills and beaches.
New blocks placed by the mod don't affect building and can be smashed with hand or tool instant with no durability use.

No Dependencies!

To Do
pseudo blocks self destruct with no parents nearby Done!
Gravel and Desert Sand inclusion Done!
Better Code!, with loops...

I look forward to learning and making more things :)

Check the mod guidelines. I can't find any license info...

I Strongly recommend putting your code on github, so I can read the code without downloading and unpacking your mod file, and even submit a patch to you.

I strongly recommend making .zip files. Everyone can download and unpack zip files. No, nobody cares about the 2 kilobyte smaller download size of 7z, because you forced them to download a 20 megabyte large 7z binary. You get the idea ;)

Interesting approach, there have been similar projects in the past, see:

• Smooth voxel surfaces
• [Mod] SimplySlopes [0.2.2] [simplyslopes]
• Dwarf Fortress like ramps in Minetest
• [Game] Australopithecus [Tech Demo]

Yeah i remember seeing the smooth voxel thing some time ago
I love the slopes and will most likely use it in personal builds but I didn't want to remove the blockyness from the game per say, just maybe crumbly things

Looks like a nice approach. Still, the problem of placing plants etc. on top will remain I'm afraid. BUt other than that, the scenery looks very good.
