I did put the code on gitlab because github was really annoying to use from the command line. I probably should redirect all my pages to the new source code now.
I don't want to add any nodes to this that wouldn't fit Minecraft is why it wasn't done already, but I can look into it. I do need to move the mod to another repo because meswhub is shutting down but I haven't got around to it yet. Maybe this is the time to mess with that.
As to a search tool, that is outside this mod's scope. All in one patches aren't really my thing, nor have I made inventory mods before.
And if it is easy to add circular saw compatibility, then I highly recommend someone make the changes and then make a pull request becuase I've had other things to worry about for a while now. If it is hard then that option still exists, but I think it would be better to leave it alone instead since that could bloat the block count significantly and may hit the limit with few or no other mods installed. I know this mod will break your game if installed with the comboblock mod because it registers thousands upon thousands of slab combos.
Apparently I had done something goofy with ctrl+h. It was an easy fix, but I accidentally deleted all of the old versions of my mod on git.minetestland. luckily ContentDB has them. I'll go ahead and bump that hotfix onto here for you. I do have some new feature ideas, but I don't want to spoil them if they turn out to not work.
It has no default dependency. I recommend you set your geodes to generate in mapgen_stone so you can take advantage of this mod further.
I used it to generate 29 geode types at once, and thanks to a new feature you can set them to generate less frequently. backdaniel and I worked together to fix that.
You can occasionally get split open geodes if a side generates in air, another nice feature. You get lots of control over the geodes from setting up budding blocks to making more than 3 layers.
The only thing I could think of that could make it any better is non-spereical geodes and the ability to set the interior node to something other than air.
This will be an invaluable tool moving toward. It only seems to work in new worlds, but maybe I am doing something wrong. but it does work. slows systems may struggle, and the lighting engine does not always know the chunk has been updated. but that is not the mod's fault.
10/10 for mod making. not recommended for survival unless you are really weird.
It is not without issues, but I was able to address those and made a fork. As-is, it is definitely usable, but requires you to grab it from the creative inventory. There are minor misspellings, but the author is French so I cannot blame him. I still don't fully understand the API, but I want to study it, and make more items uncraftable in future. If Troodon wishes to fork my content back in, then great.
Hey, sorry for the delay, I thought I already responded. Yeah, you don't have to go too far for new stones. Well, each mod for Minetest Game is Open Source. If you like a code snippet you are allowed to use it if you include the accompanying license. Lua, the code language is a user-friendly scripting language that is far easier to understand and use than say Java, C, or other languages.
There might be. The textures for each variant have to be manually made, otherwise it looks rough. The registration could probably be simplified. But I don't really struggle to bad with that. It is deciding where they go, and translating everything that takes time. and double checking everything works.
So should Moonstone be animated, or transparent? It can't be both. (It can, but it is so ugly, trust me, you wouldn't want to see it.) Or would you want a different stone? I have a huge backlog of stones I am considering. Do you just want to see a few samples of what I would make them look like? I don't think I can put the images here. Do you have a Discord or Reddit? I can make textures quickly, it is refining them, adding sub-variants, and all the little things that adds up to hours of work. So, I only want to do all of that for stones that are worth it.
So, that is Turquoise fix, and a Portuguese translation. Anything else you want for the next version? It won't feel worth it unless it has a stone or stone variant too so everyone wins.
It is part of group stone. This means anything which uses group stone for something can use turquoise ore. So, this is a minor bug, but easily patchable. I will patch it for the next update.
I will admit, they aren't the fanciest, but they work, and they are fireworks. You could make an actual show with these. Though the particles may need turned up a bit to be larger if you eant a professional show look. They work by placing them on the ground, then punching them or using Mesecons to activate them. I am almost shocked torch and flint aren't options. This is not meant to be negative by the way, it's just so close to being perfect.
what is hard about finding a block? The fact the sorting gets destroyed when you use the search feature? I dod sometimes find it hard to find a block, but I knew the exact name of each, so I could type the technical name if need be. I can work on a wiki if you have something you want to know more about.
Yeah, I don't like Ethereal's defaults either. Ethereal is like the blue cheese of mods, really good in the right use case, but the perfect way to ruin everything otherwise.
I think 5.5.1 or 5.6.0 would be the true minimum version. 5.5.1 would be pushing it, I think My Android crashed when it was still 5.5.1 and I tried to play Asuna. So, 5.6 may be the minimum playable. Which, unless you are extremely not tech savvy, you should already have 5.7 installed.
They work nicely. I don't know if I like the recipes, but overall, it just works, and now my bedroom is much cozier. I can finally put my mega cotton farm to use.
I am going to see if I can fix the issues I have. It is creative only, and needs slightly better textures. I have some textures on my hard drive that would do nicely. Now I just have to track down a few mods to see what I can use to make this mod survival friendly. We only need chickens, tomatoes, and mushrooms.
Edit: I will try to make my overhaul. If I end up liking it enough, I might just make my own mod but give you credit for inspiration. This way I can actually keep it up to date and such without a middleman. No offense meant obviously.
Maybe don't play heavily modded on Android, but it will still hold up. I had low FPS, but I am sure I could decrease render distance, or play on an actual PC for better experience. It gives a nice random selection from all mods installed. And, it spawns you near 0, 0, 0. It might be a good idea to get some stuff setup beforehand in creative. Such as a small island akin to the original Skyblock.
I might make an add-on mod or two for TMS. It would allow me to implement features I don't want in the base, but want to add anyway like my own geode types.
I guess I could look into the tabs thing again, but it won't be a priority.
I will try some Shale concepts, and see if I like it as a block.
Yeah, large patches of animated nodes will sync to the chunk rather than syncing to the world. It results in a rather ugly look. Play a game like Hades, and see the lava do the same.
I know that, I was saying the player might benefit from adding it to make it safer.
I did put the code on gitlab because github was really annoying to use from the command line. I probably should redirect all my pages to the new source code now.
Thank you for checking it out!
its actually been longer than that. I have the code backed up, I just keep forgetting to set up an account elsewhere and git push my code.

For the stair fix alone it is awesome. Will be using more often.
Good to hear.

New rating is 10/10 after the fix for frequency.

Anyway, the update is out now, and it should work again.

That's about it. I don't know if I am a huge fan of the frame being opaque, but this may be a limit of the glass mod.
The world depth means it could be hours before you get a metal bucket.
this is a nice mod to fix that without making ores too easy to get.
hey, thanks!
Apparently there were no tuff crafting recipes, and the others you mentioned also were missing recipes.

I am currently trying to get an update out, and I keep finding more things that need adjustment. Hopefully this is an easy fix.
I think I want to make a dark blue transparent stone. I don't know whether it should be sapphire, or one of the countless similar stones.
what is the 4 digit code? I am just JoeEnderman on Discord if you want to contact me instead.
There might be. The textures for each variant have to be manually made, otherwise it looks rough. The registration could probably be simplified. But I don't really struggle to bad with that. It is deciding where they go, and translating everything that takes time. and double checking everything works.
if you want 5 or more, that is actually probably better. I will be away this week, but I might could throw you some textures tonight.

What does that mean? Do I have to manually blacklist it somehow?
Oh, I see. Yeah, that is painful. Search cracked_brick_slab instead of using the description, use part of the technical name, this should work.
I will admit, they aren't the fanciest, but they work, and they are fireworks. You could make an actual show with these. Though the particles may need turned up a bit to be larger if you eant a professional show look. They work by placing them on the ground, then punching them or using Mesecons to activate them.

yeah, it just works, there is no argument. You could happily enjoy water life all you wanted.

I prefer Black Opal over the other two.
