[Mod] gravitysim
Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2016 15:56Description: This mod adds gravity simulation to your world. (not realistic though). It makes the gravity decrease the higher your avatar climbs.
And the higher you climb the higher you can jump.
Depends: nothing
License: nothing, free of everything, do what ever you want with it
No warranties, no garanties. If you run this on your server and your world says good bye do not blame me
I made this for my server, because player there building a space station and I thought it would be nice to have some
low gravity and moonlike jumping. Maybe some people find that also useful. Play around with the values so it suit the needs of your world.
Installation:
- create a new folder "gravitysim" in your mods directory.
- go in that folder and create a new text document "init.lua"
- copy below code to the document and save.
- start Minetest and activate gravitysim in your world
And the higher you climb the higher you can jump.
