Apple Decay

[Menche]

Currently apples don't decay, so you are left with a cloud of flying apples when you cut down an apple tree. Making apples decay isn't a good idea, because sometimes they are used for decoration.

My solution is to make a leaves_with_apple node that decays like leaves and drops a normal, non-decaying edible apple when dug. The problem with making unpicked apples nodes is that the apple texture can be shown up to 3 times for one node, depending on your angle. Several different possibilities:
Apple texture over leaves texture:


Leaves texture over apple texture:


Or, just make the leaves_with_apple look like a normal plantlike apple.

I would prefer dropping the node when leafdecay group rating is 2. And spawn apples on trees like they currently do.

i use attached_node and am happy with it

If param2 ~= 0 then nodes dont decay. So simply set param2 = 1 in on_place().

So generated apples would decay but when placed they wouldn't? That would work and would be one less node definition.

Really?

/me runs to check source code

That's rather interesting. It means that things with a facedir should never be in the leafdecay group. It works out quite nicely for apples though.

I store them in a chest without any reasons

I have add Apple Decay in my last mod Default Plus

maybe make them fall when not touching leaves, that way when you destroy a tree the apples will fall on the ground.

Well, thats how it works.

I made a mod which replaces wrong directed torches (worldedit or sth like this) to right directed ones.

Why posting that here? The topic is about apple decay, not torches...

I meant as falling nodes

And why do you think a falling node would be better than an item that falls on ground?

nodes don't slow the game down and entities do

Well, even if thats true, if you want this you have to change the decay (which cant be done by mods) or you have to code a new decay just for apples, which would slow the game down too.

Furthermore it makes more sense to drop items and not nodes.
