1,To Do:It would be made to take (range - 6) coal every 60 seconds and every 10 times hit. It will also take coal to make the new field and you would be able to place it at anywhere in 18 box. You would also be able to change the range of field.

Hmm, Downloading, Which Version Of Minetest is it for?

EDIT: Oh ya, What Does This Forcefield Do?

I tested it on 0.4.6. I think it will work with others too.

also, this is not the first forcefield on minetest but first coal using forcefield.

Is It Possible To Make The Forcefield Blocks So That The Person Who Activated Them Would Be Able To Pass But Not Others?

you can place a steel door at border of forcefield. never tried it but it may work. I will try to include that.

cool

EDIT: The Steel door works, could you possibly make it generate with the force field? (if you can't do the only you go through thing)

EDITx2:Maybe A Security feature:

Add This To the force field block definition:

Cool! Very creative idea. You should make it so that the owner can go through, but others can't. Maybe add it as a second block.

ok. I will try doing that.

You could do something like transfer the owner to the other side of the wall if they hit or right-click one of the blocks. Not quite the same as letting them walk right through, but close.

I have a simple idea:

Make it so that it uses 1 coal every 10 seconds, as it burns for that long in a normal furnace AFAIK.

Furnaces in Minetest are very fast compared to Minecraft: all items in the default game take 3 seconds to smelt. You can smelt about 13 items with a coal lump, so these last for about 40 seconds (but less than in Minecraft, where they last 80 seconds but can only smelt 8 items).

it is going to use up 6 less than range every 60 seconds so you could set the range to 12 to suck up 1 coal every 10 seconds (in average). This fetue is not included in this version.

New Version!!!
prototype 2
New Features:
It will only suck coal ones every 60 seconds. It will suck a coal every 10 times hit. It should suck coal according to damage made by explosives.

New Version
Prototype 3
It will be able to change the range

Mod is now finished product!!!!!
forcefield mod

i think it is cool but it should have a slot to type how many by how many blocks to force field like from 3-200 blocks or some thing.

or click on the 4 corners of the force field to put it there

This mod is really cool, is it invincible to the meteor mod? And mods similar? Plus could u edit the mod to make the sheild span upward? And if so could I use one specific sheild to do so?

can you post that on forcefield mod itself? also, I only can do things when i get my computer fixed and that will take few weeks to month.
