I just compiled Luanti 5.16.1, and it still works fine on my machine. I can dig all things as usual and the hand ranks increase. I can't reproduce the bug, so I can't really solve it.


I suspect that a mod may be responsible for the issue, but it's not clear, it would require testing every ...

I just compiled Luanti 5.16.1, and it still works fine on my machine. I can dig all things as usual and the hand ranks increase. I can't reproduce the bug, so I can't really solve it.

So you can do what, watermark your server or game? You really think something so trivial should need people to go compile from source or depend on "cheat client" type people?


Please stay civil and don't resort to straw man arguments, I did never say such a thing.
Also, you are getting close the ...

It needs to be a client mod because people might want to take clean screenshots on servers, too.


Oh, yes, thanks. Of course clients shouldn't be able to remove them with CSM, that's cheating!

The whole point of this feature it to prevent players from having a clear view, just like you don't ...

If you want to. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I suspect this is an engine problem, because it only happens for some mapblocks. I don't think it should be possible for the cavegen to happen after core.register_on_generated .

You could try to use core.register_mapgen_script(path) .
https://github.com/luanti-org/luanti/blob/master/doc/lua_api.md ...

Looks like it happens right at the mapblock border, and the cave gets randomly filled with cobblestone and mossy cobblestone.

You can probably use overlay_tiles i.e.
core.register_node('mossworld:glimmering_sand', {
description = 'Glimmering Sand',
tiles = {"mossworld_sand.png"},
overlay_tiles = {{
name= "mossworld_glimmering.png",
animation = {
type = "vertical_frames",
aspect_w = 16,
aspect_h = 16,
length = 3.0 ...

... I'm at a real loss as to how to solve this.

I also had this problem before with my storage system mod that I never released, and in my inventorybags mod where opening remote chests with the Item Teleportation Bag doesn't work.

You are relying too much on the engines inventory system, just ...

Hi, one thing you can do is to generate single nodes and let them place the semantic at a later point, such that the bordering mapblocks are already generated.

The caverealms mod does this and moretrees did it in the past (now it uses decorations).

I just compiled luanti 5.14 and indeed I couldn't dig anything.

I think the mod was made with version 5.7.0, and I'm sure it worked back then.
Weird maybe there was an engine regression, but if there were I should know about it.
The only thing I can think of is https://github.com/luanti-org/luanti ...

I just redownloaded the mod and tried it on a new world, it still works fine on my machine.

Have you tried to execute the /handranks command, does it show proper numbers?
Maybe also try to force update the rank /sethandranks 1000 .

Which minetest/luanti version are you using?
It may not work on ...

You can if you want. I currently can't reproduce the bug, so there is nothing I can do to fix it.

You can also try to find the conflicting mod yourself, by iteratively enabling/disabling suspicious mods.

Which game are you using? It may not work with other games besides Minetest Game.
Also, it may conflict with other mods that overwrite the hand.

You download them, unzip them if necessary, and put them into your mods folder.

The mods folder is usually in the home dictionary i.e. /home/<user>/.minetest/mods/
or in .../minetest/mods/ for run in place installations.
If you don't know your home, executing echo $HOME may help.

You can also add ...

But if you really want to, you could use no_texture.png (which is a simple no alpha channel 16x16 pixels image) and colorize it to be completely white ( no_texture.png^[colorize:#ffffff:255 ).

As said before, you don't need a texture file, not even no_texture.png , just write tiles = {"[fill:1x1 ...

Alternatively, you can change the path, e.g running this
env MINETEST_USER_PATH=/root/luanti/bin /root/luanti/bin/luantiserver --gameid minetest_game --worldname RotateThis
should work in your case.

I thought the base texture pack is well known.
Keep in mind that it's not guarantied that every texture provided by the engine will stay in future engine versions.
Especially the ones from the main menu. (But textures like blank.png are very unlike to be changed or removed.)

If you really don't ...

Looks like the game didn't load correctly. You have to start Luanti with --gameid minetest_game and set the environment variable MINETEST_GAME_PATH to your minetest/data path (the folder which contains games, not the game folder itself.)
See Luanti man page.

If your world is still blank (test if ...

There was a bug where they didn't get generated. https://github.com/mt-mods/moretrees/pull/57
To fix this, update your moretrees mod and then go to a new area of your map that has not been generated yet.

Hint: As of now, you can only find rubber tress where the altitude (y coordinate) is smaller ...

I'm not having a lot of luck finding good documentation, and there are wildly different implementations in the different mods I've checked.

The official API documentation: https://github.com/luanti-org/luanti/blob/master/doc/lua_api.md
If you can't find it there, it is not part of the API.
i.e ...

It is documented at the official API documentation: https://github.com/luanti-org/luanti/bl ... 266-L10270
Or search here: https://api.luanti.org/ it's the same.

The one you are linking is more like a guide.

People may be interested in the difference between this mod and the builtin rollback system.
(enable the enable_rollback_recording setting and /rollback_check /rollback commands)

The rubber tree situation (and some other trees which didn't spawn) got solved in the current version, so consider updating the mod, if you want the trees to be generated in your world.

I'm used to opening the inventory with "I". It is also common in other games besides Luanti.
To me, it doesn't matter if it is far away from WASD, because you don't have to hold it while moving like Aux1.
"Q" is a much bigger problem, because accidentally dropping your item may have severe ...
