Oh my goodness! We can build ships and airships/airplanes in Luanti!
Okay, this is actually amazing. Maybe a limited block palette, but still amazing. Just a note for people about building ships: They have to be two nodes above the water otherwise they won't assemble correctly (when it assembles it will fall into the water)
My dream
ive always wanted buildable vehicles, now theyre here! ofc its not the best (cant use nodeboxes or meshes) but at least you can change values which is good i love this mod
Great fun mod
Already used it live with my students...could support a wider range of blocks though and the handling of the vehicles is quite stiff. My students got stuck once in a while...nothing I would not be willing to fix on my own though. Nice addition and fun to try out.
cool mod, though.....
the nodes are inert (minor, may be a design choice) does not support nodes other than in a curated list (medium) (you can use
visual = "node", though collision is its own problem)Only in French
This mod while beening nice to play with and having cool features, but is only in French for Item and Node names. Also the fact that this mod is limited to a list a nodes is annoying, but acceptable for it's age. Until this mod supports languages other then French though I can't recomend it at all.
It's cool though in what it does, would like to see it developed further.
Create in 2 Years :)
I Love dad you mace such a cool mod for minetest I wanted to ask if we could link our two mods. My mod is called Runethera,
and I thought we could combine something like Create and Magic into one. I think that would be cool.
