    Functional, but not ideal

    This mod is small and simple, which I like. And it does what it claims to do. But I dislike the fast interval (every second) at which it checks for falling nodes - it can impact performance and in my opinion, it's unnecessary.

    If the source code were on Github or something, I'd offer this change request:

    core.register_abm({
            label = "Make falling nodes fall",
            interval = 20,
            nodenames = {"group:falling_node"},
            action = function(pos)
                core.check_for_falling(pos)
            end
        })
    

    I like the effect of the blocks falling at more random, spaced out intervals. It makes the world feel more dynamic and can be a fun jumpscare in a dark cave.
