2 liquid tricks

[paramat]

^ Source node spawns surroounding source nodes, unlimited horizontal liquid spread.
Here testing swampwater, for default:water you would use this line in node definition:
liquid_alternative_flowing = "default:water_source"





^ Liquids can be contained by nodes with ' drawtype = "airlike" '. Airlike nodes are invisible and can be walked through, you can also disable the selection box with 'pointable = false'. Example node:

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("paragenv7:airlike", {
    drawtype = "airlike",
    tiles = {""},
    paramtype = "light",
    sunlight_propagates = true,
    walkable = false,
    pointable = true,
    diggable = false,
    buildable_to = true,
    groups = {not_in_creative_inventory=1},
})

So in theory, you can create a cast of air nodes, then fill it with water, then replace said water with WorldEdit.

or create a box of airnodes and fill it with water and the water stays and doesn't spill out - hmmm - mine is the opposite problem, getting it to flow at generation

a water castle = cool - better make the airnode diggable=false lol

or just make a non-proliferating water node! - gah why didn't i think of this before!!!

yay, you are the best! thanks!!!

What if we were able to dig water like a regular node?

Let's see how that would work.
