Hey guys it would be awsome if you can make a new world like the eather or nether or something totaly new like in minecraft. you must make a teleport from obsidian or something others like in the real game (netherportal= obsidian, eatherportal= glowstone)

Can someone make this?! :)

sky world = no, will cause perma shadow.

nether = yes, only if -1000 or less.

but can't you do it like you go to a total new world like in minecraft the eather isn't above the normal world and the nether under. they are totaly new worlds where you can go by teleports.

what ever happened to nyancat heaven?

Nether is a nice idea and is simple to implement. Just make a generator to make nether stones under -1000 or -2000.

We need this for Minetest++

How about the portal takes you to a different dimension full of triangle blocksXD lol or a weird 2d plain.

Are you sure about this?

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: minetest.register_node("default:glass", { description = "Glass", drawtype = "glasslike", tile_images = {"default_glass.png"}, inventory_image = minetest.inventorycube("default_glass.png"), paramtype = "light", sunlight_propagates = true, is_ground_content = true, groups = {snappy=2,cracky=3,oddly_breakable_by_hand=3}, sounds = default.node_sound_glass_defaults(), })

"Aether material have new properties: light and soft, more than ever earth's material. So it propagates sunlight and float to X in less than X. Also if you build a normal node on a aetherian node, It will sink like nodes in water.

This is a example of description for aethian material. paramtype = "light" and sunlight_propagates = true are useful for this idea, like a modification of falling mod fo float and sink. This answer the shadow's issue and add new extraordinaries nodes for the gameplay.

Seriously we've already got Aether.
For the Nether I think there was an old forum about a hell mod. I don't know how that worked out though....
Love the idea.

That's the Aether right there.

it just needs some updating and love

I wouldnt really like for minetest to divert manpower for a gimmicky new realm when it could be added to standard world.
want a lava underworld? have the game world generate that in something exaggerated like -5000 from surface.

You could do this through the mapgen in the newer devs. You find the alias section (usually first) and change the alias for mapgen_default_dirt to whatever node you want it to be. I experimented by making a 100% desert. Changed water to air, dirt to desert sand, gravel to lava, and so on.
