I think it should start from 64 or -128 sorry i dont remember.

Edit: They should start at 64

Hey can you make a .zip since rar is paid format, and minetest is a free source so it should be a .zip or tar-gz or, 7z not rar since not everyone can pass the admin rights.

Tarballs are preferred since they are a de facto standard for archiving.

Should i add sapphire and emerald ores/tools ?

Yeah sure, I even have a emerald ore img, but it was a early build so Idk if it will work.

Yes, but there are standards and Windows standards. :>

Well, that's what cygwin is for. ;-)

Updated to 0.2

lol, nice name.

Icwatudidthere.

Now I think there should be, this > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malachite

Ok will add that

And should i add stone sticks (they would be crafted out of dark stone, so it would have a use) ? They would be used like the normal sticks. Or should it be a diferent mod for those?

Ok.
Hmm well, I think in the same mod be a great place for now.

0.4.1 Uploaded, now you can find more ores...

Nice you added the ore :)

Any ideas what should i add next?

Will try that, but first i should add a use for stone sticks :D

0.4.2 Uploaded.

Hmm. I have a crazy ore idea...But I tested it lone wolf and somewhat it, work but it spawn to many.

So I was thinking why not have a ore that, generation in lava?

Hmm interesting idea, but player would need a way to get protection from lava damage :/

They could just drain the lava pool, but that would be hard, so the ore would have to be very valuable.

Malachite is a type of copper ore, so it should be called "malachite", not "malachite ore", and be able to be turned into copper, because malachite is useless other than as an ore of copper.

No longer updating this, you can use the code and textures for what ever you want. Would be nice if you would give me some credit if you use anything from it.

Btw, if i will have some spare time i will work on a another, more useful mod.

this file is empty WHY!!!

Download works fine for me.

I borrowed the tool coding for my dirt pickaxe mod- I changed the values, and only did it because I don't know how to use minetest.register_tool properly.
