More of a question than an idea: Could a node through a function turn all nodes of a certain type in a set radius into entities and have them move? I'm wondering this because if this could happen you could create a spinning wind mill for mesecons.

[Casimir]

I think that's what the code for falling nodes actually does.

It shows the time, like it's time 6000(morning) then it shows like /

Can be done just like my compass-mod (or PilzAdams Version of my mod). Even the textures can be used (if accouracy by the hour is enough)

Thanks Echo.

I have a problem
It's from my alchemy mod, It's not crashing it's just when I place my Custom furnace. It won't open the menu to cook the potions.

Here's the code:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

I don't know if this has already been suggested, but could we make an electrified fence?
Maybe two versions: one standalone, and one using mesecons.

Or just hurt-blocks:

- on touch (like Mintecraft cactuses) taking 1 HP per hit/sec.
- on touch taking 5 HP per hit/sec.
- on touch taking 10 HP per hit/sec.
- on touch taking 20 HP per hit/sec. (instant death)
- in radius 3 units 2 HP per hit/sec.
- in radius 5 units 2 HP per hit/sec.
- in radius 10 units 2 HP per hit/sec.

Is that possible with lua?

EDIT:

Heal-blocks:

- Heal in radius 3 units 2 HP per sec.
- Heal in radius 5 units 2 HP per sec.
- Heal in radius 10 units 2 HP per sec.

EDIT 2:

Hurt block don't hurt player who put it. But everyone could remove this block.

I believe calinou had blocks like this in his maptools mod. But I do not know if they still work.

What about 3D Turmites?

Node can hold text in its metadata. You can show text input dialogs AFAIK. So I assume someone can make a mailbox node that can accept messages from others and show them to its owner on use.

I could do that myself, but don't have time. Please somebody notify me if you're going to implement this :)

Aqua made something similar to this.

You could just use signs

[qwrwed]

Aqua's mailbox is a chest that anyone can put something into, but only the owner can take something out of. It can't be used to send messages yet.

[kylet115]

you should make one with alot of decorative items like beds,sofas,tvs,tables, and alot of stuff in that nature.

Neon lights

Three superglow glass horizontally => Neon tube

On a 8x8 table, form letters by placing neon tubes (I believe 8x8 is the minimium ammount of pixels able to represent each letter in roman alphabet).

There's a mod that goes a bit into that direction:

Cannibalism - kinda like super-lite farming - though youre harvesting and eating other players. Soylent Greentest :-)

How about some one makes 3d entities with api and instead of having villages spawn (at first) we build a village with village and they spawn on it slowly.

Good idea, but how would they detect a village?

[Chinchow]

They wouldnt in my idea unless a modder could think of a way but that would be interesting wouldnt it? to find villagers a hundred blocks away from a village?

yes it would... sort of like human friendly mobs...

[mauvebic]

doable:
either make a list of non-natural nodes and have them spawn on top
or use join_player and minetest.after to sticky to players :-)

[markveidemanis]

hi, can someone make a mod that lets some people on a server be in creative mode, and some in survival mode. possible like a command: /gamemode [creative/survival]
thanks

[Josh]

What about solar lights, they are obviously possible (Because of solar panels in mesecons)

[Casimir]

Anti-protector:
You can not place protectors or locked things within a certain radius.

To create some free space instead of locked down private areas.

mesecon light next to a panel?
