I love that tools level up; it encourages keeping better track of their status and repairing them, not to mention that they're faster and stronger too!
Of course, it also means that losing a tool is all that much more painful...
This is the best and most favorite game for minetest so far. Because this game dares to adopt/imitate the theme of the most popular game in the world, namely Minecraft. I hope there are more cool games like this:).
Just don't download this. It's useless and not something I believe would have ever wanted as a kid.
REMOVED BY STAFF
This is not a game for kids. It's just a window that pops up, asks you if you're a boy or a girl, and then has an option to change into a mermaid. Anything else you can get easily and better made with other mods in default minetest. The game is useless, the sexual stereotyping is not needed and only starts fights and insults people, the textures are ugly, it isn't educational, and it really has no need to exist.
The idea, to make a own funktion, to make a new tool kind is very nice.
I only noticed one error:
It is impossible to craft deepslate stuff. That's because the crafting recipes already exists for stone stuff.
Just why do u need to make the progression like this?
I do truely believe that this game has a lot of potential, and it can probably be a lot of fun.
But i just don't get, why you want to make the game more complicated than it actaully is
As soon u know how to craft stuff, u will just do it. But getting the knowledge about how to craft the different stuff, is just by reading "guides" thats more like riddles.
But why does it has to be like this? If u really want people to play this way, which is not working for the majority of people, then make it into a gamemode.
Just look at minecraft, it started out with no recipe book, but later they added it. Why? because people used the wiki. But this game is too unpopular to have a community work on the wiki and niether does the developer.
Its such a shame man. I will probably continue playing this as a pursue that potential the game has. But it just saddens me that I have to struggle through the game.
The basic gameplay is still about as boring as vanilla Minetest Game … but world generation details, node textures, models, all the parts of Parity of the Minor Bearing [alpha] that seem actually finished just look incredible. The crafting interface still needs some work, but already offers the simplicity of Repixture. If this is what passes for ”unpolished and jank”, Sumianvoice (the author) has admirable standards. I like the explicit anti-grind stance in the README a lot!
Nevertheless … I can not recommend this game, simply because of the author's warning:
Expect […] game-breaking, world corrupting updates to happen indiscriminately and at random.
Other game and mod developers, take note: This is what being honest to users looks like.
@Sumianvoice I hope you finish this. When/if you do, I plan to adjust my review.
I love all of the features of this mod with one little caveat: Could it be a selective mod? The spiders make such a mess everywhere with their webs. I left my game running overnight and when I came back the next morning, I had to spend several hours cleaning up all of the webs. I'd like to turn off spiders. Thanks!
It is true that the game is a bit rough around the edges and can do better with a few more quality-of-life changes, but it is one of the best open source games I've played till date.
Hi,
Its UI is straight foward, simple. I enjoy it a lot.
I also installed skindb, it seems there is a conflict that silent Edit Skin : you can't change skin. The model doesn't show up on the right side, and and change made is nullified.
So i ended up removing skindb as Edit Skin fell more modular and give lot choices to players.
We can focus on nuturing its database as :
black skin (or better : coffee's shade)
eyes color
gender neutral or even race (dwarf, elves, danarie (veloren), orc, undead...)
clotche categorised by theme : SF, medieval...
There is lot thing we can do and i hope i can give a hand. :)
thank a lot
While i enjoy your mod and only suceed only once spawning a NPC, it would be great to add example. So i added some information in your readme.md file as i did for other mods.
I tried to find the correct command. Should i write :
/add_npc a pos:(100,100,100) igor le bossu
/add_npc 1 100, 100, 100 igor
etc
I'm not a magician :(
And after lot trial, here is an example that works :
/add_npc 1 120,5,170 Igor mobs_igor3.png
<ID> is a number to identify your NPC
<position> x,y,z where x,y,z are number without any space. Press F5 to get your coordinate.
<name> only write his/her first name. lenghty name as "Igor the buttler" aren't supported
<texture> the name of the texture found in mods/mobs_npc/textures
In my opinion this mod is much better than Pipeworks. It's faster, but it has more features. The on-demand item request system is brilliant, and makes automatic machines much easier to control. And as an added blessing, Logistica doesn't suffer from the documentation-was-an-afterthought disease that plagues many software projects; the wiki is useful and complete. And while the textures might not match the steam-punk vibe of a lot of the Minetest mods, it's well-drawn and consistent. I definitely recommend this mod!
If there's one thing that I find slightly annoying, it's the narrow cables that require a bit of aiming to successfully hit.
Drive across the landscape, rip mad skids and do doughies
This one is good in case you get that petrolhead itch and need to scratch it without leaving Luanti, or maybe you just don't have any decent racing games.
3rd-person camera is definitely recommend. The inside of the car isn't a good view of the road. The visuals of the game also change at night, with the edges of the road lit. Put your own music, podcast or whatever you want on as the game doesn't have any sound of its own.
This will fill the world with random curving roads and give you a car to do drifts and doughnuts in. You can go on quite a long trip along the roads, though sometimes you will find yourself going around in circles. The minimap helps find new roads if you're stuck in a loop.
At the intersections of roads, you'll often have a much wider area, and sometimes somthing approximately shaped like a roundabout. Challenge yourself to see if you do a doughnut and keep up a circle while drifting. You'll need to rapidly tap the A or D keys, or use a gamepad if that's an option for you. For extra swag, you can drive backwards as fast you can can forwards, but of course, the steering will be reversed too!
The game does have higher system requirements than you might expect in Luanti. The Lua code that runs the vehicle physics may not run fast enough on your CPU, especially ones with low base clocks like laptops and phones, and your system may also struggle with generating terrain and driving at the same time. It probably won't work very well in multiplayer, due to both network latency and Luanti running all the vehicles in a single Lua thread. But if you have an adequate system, it can be surprisingly fun.
This is also a much more interesting way to view the Minipeli landscape than just flying over it.
For a special trick, you can open upon the game's game.conf and enable more mapgens. Don't get too excited, it will mostly result in a lot of tunnels and road over water (sometimes water over road too). But it has the occasional nice view.
Thank for this useful mod, i hope i will succeed its installation. Here is some feedback :
I'm not sure if it's the right step as i just checked irc mod to understand where i should type the mentionned settings.
Anyway, i updated the readme.md file and the file example : settingtype.txt.
In the irc mod they wrote :
All settings are changed in minetest.conf. If any of these settings are not set, the default value is used.
* irc.server (string): The address of the IRC server to connect to.
So for installing the mod, you should write those line in minetest.conf and fill the required field :
## mod : matrix_chat
# Matrix username. May only contain characters A-Z, 0-9
# '{', '}', '[', ']', '|', '^', '-', or '_'.
# eg : @minetestbot:matrix.org
matrix.user =
# Server to connect to, include http(s)
# matrix.server : the Matrix server (string )
# eg : https://matrix.org
matrix.server =
# Channel the bot joins after connecting.
# matrix.room_id : the channel to join (string)
# eg : !abcde:matrix.org
matrix.room_id =
# Matrix user password. (string)
matrix.password =
And i haven't succeed to connect the chat with matrix. I guess the problem is that i lack knowledge to solve this issue. So i don't know if i missed a dependencies or if i should rewrite the path.

Essential mod for server but it lacks multilanguage support
Hi,
I love this mod. Especially the two separate spawn point. Let's say admin can be creative : sending played to a lava pit or a void place. I haven't tried that. :D
Thank a lot for this mod :)
I have a request : can you add a multi-language support and markdown ?
On my server, i guess lot new players are young and connect to any server without reading its description and completly miss its main language. I run a french server and welcomed german, polish, japanese, brazillian players.
So i need a multi language support to explain them few thing about my little world.
And the markdown would increase its readibility for long text. But that's not the top priority compared to writting the rules in serveral language as agreerule mod. :)
Beautiful texture pack with a clean and consistent look!
This texture pack is one of my favourites. It contains clean and bright (but not too bright) textures with a consistent look that makes great use of straight lines. The textures mostly seem like they belong together – and some textures even look amazing on their own, like the active furnace.
The only improvement I can imagine right now would need bumpmapping support in Minetest to support this style more – especially the carpet, leaves and wood textures strongly imply a three-dimensional surface structure but can not actually present that look without engine support.
As the creator of the unicode_text mod that ucsigns uses I may be a bit biased, but this is exactly the kind of signs mod that I made unicode_text for.
As the description correctly states, with this mod you can have text on signs that Minetest can not even render in its interface using the fonts it comes with. As this includes the text input fields that players use to write on signs, this mod is best used with the standard font set to GNU Unifont and the fallback font set to GNU Unifont Upper. This font combination does not account for any CSUR glyphs, but it seems to be a limitation of Minetest that users can not stack an arbitrary amount of fallback fonts.
In the case that users find it difficult to input some Unicode characters, one can use ucsigns to create a mod that translates ASCII sequences into Unicode (or CSUR) characters. An example of this is cora's sitelen_pona_signs mod which uses a simple translation table to let users input ASCII syllables that are then transformed to sitelen pona CSUR codepoints, so that signs show sitelen pona glyphs instead.
Great for complex building
The added blocks and shapes are great and really make the world look a lot better.
A fun addition
I like having the option to be able to build colorful things with wood rather than relying on solely wool.
A very handy mod
Who doesn't want a more colorful world? There's really not much more to say; it's great.
It's pretty fun
It definitely adds some nice variety, but if can also be a bit overwhelming with how it completely reshapes the world. Some biomes feel like they are more common than they should be (for example, the mushroom and sakura). Also, as someone else mentioned, the onions are a little OP - if you're farming for survival, you don't need any other crop.
Adds a great new gameplay element
I love that tools level up; it encourages keeping better track of their status and repairing them, not to mention that they're faster and stronger too!
Of course, it also means that losing a tool is all that much more painful...
Отлично
Лучший модпак который я встречал в minetest. Нужно больше обновлений и поддержки!
Хорошо
Хорошо, но я бы добавил больше разнообразия в сами биомы и их самих.
Ресурс пак
Отличный пакет ресурсов для строительства!
Really nice and intricated, i like it. But i perfer more primitive (Personally).
It's pretty epic, but by chance do you know or have other more primitive mods, like the Stone Age, the Copper Age, and the Bronze Age. Thanks.
Minecraft game but free and Simple
Minecraft game but Free and Simple Version
This is the best and most favorite game for minetest so far. Because this game dares to adopt/imitate the theme of the most popular game in the world, namely Minecraft. I hope there are more cool games like this:).
Makes exploring underground very fun
I really enjoy exploring underground, and with this mod, it's better than ever!
Great addition
I love the added variety of all the new tree species.
Very nice GUI change
I prefer the look of these bars to the default row of icons.
A solid addition to the default game
It's great having access to these additional ores, and of course the mithril is a nice touch.
Мусорка
Мусорка которая удаляет предметы. Хорошо, что есть крафт!
Функциональный мод
Очент функциональный мод и удобный в использовании! Можно строить удобнее чем это в оригинале. Обязательный мод для игры!
Less Dirt
или же Better Grass из оптифайна. Отличная функция приятная глазу!
Деревья
Много разных деревьев. Которые можно было бы использовать в других модах.
бекрумы
Ну бекрумы, много комнат для теста. Хочу чтобы больше развивали этот мод.

it can be useful when the player needs/wants to stop at any position, like at a construction, or a vertical service tunnel, etc.
Good Mod
The idea, to make a own funktion, to make a new tool kind is very nice. I only noticed one error: It is impossible to craft deepslate stuff. That's because the crafting recipes already exists for stone stuff.
Much success for your first mod on ContentDB! :)

The color feel less toyish and it has the best unified inventory icon
I just pushed this texture color pack on my server as i enjoy a lots its toned down ambience. I hope it will be merged with
unified inventory theme.For now, the theme dosen't fully support
unified inventory plus. I'm trying to redo the huge arrow. If my change work, i will send it. :)And the lack of transparency provides better visibility.
Thank a lot :)
Beaches look better
Any sandy area looks immediately better with this mod. Hoping for a more accurate color scheme for the trees...
Unfinished, but beautiful.
The basic gameplay is still about as boring as vanilla

The item magnet tool picks up all items in range when used.
The
item_magnetmod adds the item magnet, a tool craftable with 5 lumps of iron in a ”V” shape ifMinetest Gameis installed.Using the item magnet picks up all items inside the configured radius instantly and adds wear if anything was picked up.
When you want to blow up part of the world using TNT, the item magnet is useful to gather the remains.
This mod becomes much more useful in games in which dug nodes drop as items.
Great mod with one recommendation
I love all of the features of this mod with one little caveat: Could it be a selective mod? The spiders make such a mess everywhere with their webs. I left my game running overnight and when I came back the next morning, I had to spend several hours cleaning up all of the webs. I'd like to turn off spiders. Thanks!
Best open-source Minecraft experience yet
It is true that the game is a bit rough around the edges and can do better with a few more quality-of-life changes, but it is one of the best open source games I've played till date.

How does they stack ?
Hi, I tried to understand how it works and finding out if there are peculiar asset that are able to stack or not.
I think the description should be updated and explain it better :
To stack two slabs, you need two blocks. a slab and a top slab.
example :
It should be noted that you can't rotate them with the screw. Only horizontal stackworks.
Best regards, Gobtous

A nice little decorative addition to Mineclon(e/ia)
It works just as promised! It's a cute way to make houses and other builds look a little more inviting :-)
It would be neat to see more shapes to make the tops of chimneys look a bit more interesting.
Works as advertised, but I do not recommend it!
This mod adds “ghost” nodes that look like normal dirt or glass but have no collision box.
While it seems to work perfectly on a technical level, I think that is just bad game design.
Yes, nodes like these make it possible to prank other players. No, I do not find that funny.
Probably the most advanced signs mod!
As the creator of the
unicode_textmod thatucsignsuses I may be a bit biased, but this is exactly the kind of signs mod that I madeunicode_textfor.As the description correctly states, with this mod you can have text on signs that Minetest can not even render in its interface using the fonts it comes with.
