Some time ago I've forked main branch to add growing watermelons (and other funny stuff that are not in this repo). Since that time few other mods with the same functionality appeared. Question is: should I rewrite my old one in Lua? Is somebody interested in it?

Also I've diversified cactii shapes that mapgen produces (I hate those boring vertical sticks).

One minus is that I've made all of this for 0.2 version. Have the architecture changed a lot during this time? Is there an elegant internal game clock in it?

In future I would like to implement the Wireworld cellular automaton into this game with the similar role as redstone has. That's why I'm asking about the clock, it's very important part of it.

P.S. Is this section good for this topic?

P.P.S Merry Christmas!

rewrite it! i want that on my server!

Diversity is good. Just make sure the mod doesn't eat too much CPU. Some servers have a LOT of mods (like mine and a few others I've seen).

I'll look, what can I do. Need some time to study new code.

I’ve captured a short gameplay video showing those watermelons.

I hardcoded it 4 month ago (proof on github), and that's why I've wrote:

If no — I will not rewrite this one but will implement my other ideas. ;)

I suspect this would be very cool. It would also be a nice way not to just clone Minecraft without bringing any novelty.

This is really old, first post says it's for 0.2. It's also in the wrong section, because it's not a mod; it should be in Unofficial engine development.

It's not a mod, since pre-0.4 can't run mods. This is a fork of Minetest 0.2. As such, obviously, it is quite obsolete and doesn't belong in the Engine Development section either. This section is probably the most appropriate.

Well, it is engine development, even if its a really old version of the engine. It most certainly is not a mod.

Old Mods, like 3d-player? At least, more appropriate than here.
