Re: [Mod] Hallelujah Mountains [cloudlands]

It works with singlenode, pick a direction and fly in a straight line at altitude 200 and you should hit something.

(unless you adjusted the island altitude to something else in the settings)

Yeah, you edit a lua file to list the names and sizes of all the "prefab" schematics you want to have, then /scaffold_prefabs will create boundary boxes for each "prefab" schematic to show where to build each schematic, then you save the contents of your schematics using /export_prefabs

Some CC0 cube world textures & animated models

These aren't in a Minetest mod so that render isn't from Minetest, but they are original and CC0.

Running /deleteblocks <pos1> <pos2> on the generated area under the nether will cause it to become ungenerated and then be re-emerged again when visited. Just make sure you're deleting only chunks at -11000, and take a copy of the map in case you mistype ...

Re: [Mod] Nether [nether]

i have little problem of texture.

I can see from your location that that's this issue .

I think it's a weird engine bug, there's a fix described in the link - go to "Settings"->"All Settings"->"Mods"->"nether" and set the nether depth to -11072 (the chunk boundary).

Lets merge it.

The nether staff of light doesn't appear in any chests yet, so the only way you can get one is creative or /give, or if a server adds them.

As TenPlus said, it's intended as a treasure, and would be found in nether fortresses however the fortresses weren't finished.

It sounds like whatever or whoever is causing the problem may have overridden minetest.is_protected

Your server's protection mod(s) should be the only thing overriding that, so you could try scanning the server's entire mods directory and game directory for places where minetest.is_protected is ...

There are some unknown nodes there
The unknown nodes under the nether is either an engine bug or a nether bug. A workaround is to have the bottom of the nether set to -11072 (i.e. chunk aligned)

I'd be interested in tricks for some sort of teleport effect too.

oilboi played with a simple teleport effect using a client-side mod, but that approach doesn't work for games/servers targetting vanilla clients.
