Semiprecious is a Minetest mod enhancing the mining and building experience by adding semiprecious stones nodes with original textures. Currently includes turquoise, lapis lazuli and malachite. This mod also allows the crafting respective tile nodes and dyes from semiprecious stones. Optional stairsplus(moreblocks) support is included.



Semiprecious nodes spawn in sheets in default:stone. Tile is crafted the spawned nodes (ex. 9 tuquoise blocks = 9 tuquoise tiles).

Single blocks also craft 8 dyes (cyan, blue, dark green) for extra options for sourcing dyes.

Possibly other semiprecious stones, crafting options and mapgen configurations to come in future versions. Enjoy :)

Depends:
Depends on default, (stairs, dyes) and moreblocks for stairsplus compatibility.

Should register stairs even when moreblocks is not found.
To make it cross compatable use "stairs" as the mod name in stairsplus:register_all.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

if minetest.get_modpath("moreblocks") then
   stairsplus:register_all("stairs", subname, "mod:"..subname, {
      description = subdesc,
      tiles = tiles,
      groups = groups,
      sounds = sounds
   })
else
   stairs.register_stair_and_slab(subname, "mod:"..subname, groups, tiles,
         subdesc.." Stairs", subdesc.." Slab", sounds)
end

Thanks pithy. I am having trouble with attempt to call field 'register_stair_and_slab (a nil value)' Still digging trying to see what is causing the issue, but I will post the updated version as soon as I work it out :)

Add stairs to depends.txt
Everyone forgets about depends.txt

nice!

you may want to check these old mods for compatibility as some are present on some servers:

Malachite by Dan Duncombe
Lapis Lazuli by LNJ
Lapis Lazuli modified by Napiophelios

especially the pyrite works really well together with Lapis Lazuli, so it might be interesting to combine the ideas of some of these mods. Btw, I do like your textures more than the old ones.

This is a terrible reality...We all been there.

That is a good guess but didn't turn out to be the problem. At any rate it is fixed. Thanks again for the help.

Glad you like the texture, twoelk. I saw a couple of those mods, but also wasn't quite satisfied with the textures either. I would assume (probably mistakenly) that most people would either use one or the other mod and not both, but I will check those out for compatibility issues and possibly other features when I get a chance. Thanks for the links.
