in minecraft if you can't find coal you can make charcoal (coal_lump) from wood planks

anyway, here's the mod: - create a folder named coalfromwood into the mods folder then create a text file named init.lua inside that folder, then put the follwing into it

minetest.register_craft({
type = "cooking",
output = "default:coal_lump",
recipe = "default:wood",
})

save it, enable the mod, put something that burns into the furnace, then pop some wooden_planks into the top -> coal_lump

Ehm, you can find coal in minecraft.

You will also need to create a text file called depends.txt and have default as it's only line. Plus if it's planks that you want, you might want to include the junglewood. Add this underneath the craft recipe above to do so.

minetest.register_craft({
type = "cooking",
output = "default:coal_lump",
recipe = "default:junglewood",
})


Otherwise, you will still have those stupid junglewood trees and planks that you can't do much with.

Actually, just put group:wood.

hi, i made similar mod, with some additional features (then i made some search and found this, haha)
you can check http://minetest.puzmi.eu/index2.html if you are interested :)

why?
if you make a mod, put it here, in the forum, use dropbox or equal for the download link, not in another site...

You do not need a depends, as you do not use any of the functions defined by default, and you assume that the default is assigned somewhere.

Instead of default:wood or default:junglewood, use group:wood, so you get all wood types. (another reason not to use depends)

why not? i want to start somehow and this was easy, i cannot start with something difficult, if do not know the Lua much
and i use my own site, because of my conviction about dropbox and those kind of services, but that is a different story

You can use your own site for file storage, but you need to post a topic on the forum to actually release it to the public.

You can't post topics in mod releases. They have to be moved by a moderator.

There is generally nothing wrong with creating a new website for your mods (or mods of other people if the license allows it).
The problem is just that you most likely will get a lot less attention from the community.
