FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Description

Adds traditional dirt and vegetation based construction methods which do not require the use of stone or mining, namely:

- Rammed earth
- Cob
- Wattle and daub
- Thatch
- a hearth (When punched it produces fire on top for use as a light source. No coal needed!)

Rammed earth, cob, and thatch can be made into stairs and slabs. Wattle and daub can be made into low walls.

Whitewashed blocks can be made by adding gravel to rammed earth/cob/wattle and daub.

As rammed earth and cob are in reality just massive chunks of mud, both fall to the ground like sand. Adding wood will created a supported version for use in door frames, roofing etc.

Digging the dirt based blocks will return dirt (and wood if used). The logic: while old masonry and timber can be reused, pulling down an earth wall would destroy it - giving you back the dirt you started with.

awesome! and welcome! for a first mod it's very great! you know what? it will be added to my game voxellar!

I've toyed with the idea of a rammed earth house (real one). But it would unlikely survive in my area. I love that you brought it to the game. As a default:dirt house is possible, but wouldn't logically work.

Nice textures. It's always good to have whitewashed materials for houses. The drawback is that houses made out of dirt will probably be rather small.
