The new models in this mod add a beautiful realism to Minetest. Their design is near perfection. The trees and bushes are like the bushy leaves mod, but done much better. The blueberries on the bushes look plump and inviting. The water lillies are stunning. These improvements show an artist's eye, and an artist's restraint. About the only concern I have is that when I add other biome mods they still have the cube leaf models and plain plant models which kind of clash with these new much improved models. At some point, I woul love to see support added for all of Wilhelmines biome mods nodes. There was one biome mod that works perfectly with this mod out of the box: Better Biomes by Atlante mod ( https://content.minetest.net/packages/Neuromancer/terraria/ ) because it uses for the most part all of the existing nodes in Minetest Game, but makes them more interesting. If you want more depth & variety in your worlds, I suggest adding that mod as well.
I like the mud, but the sounds could be better. I'd recommend taking the sounds from smamp mod and using those instead.
Glad you like the mod! I definitely agree that support for more biome mods is needed, and Wilhelmine's mods would be a great first choice. Bushy leaves for moretrees and a bunch of additions for the badlands mod are currently planned and I'm taking suggestions for more mods to support (however I probably won't be adding support for ethereal, everness, or new horizons as they're too fantasy oriented for my taste).
With regard to sounds, I'm plannning to add a sound management system to Et Cetera within the next one or two releases and slime sounds are first on the list for an improvement, both replacing the existing sounds and creating a separate sound set for mud. (They were meant to be temporary to begin with, but I must have forgotten to replace them earlier lol)
