Air is simply no node (nothing). I don't understand much about other nodes.
No, "air" and "ignore" are two different nodes.

Re: Curve mesh generation algorithm for use with nodes

It could be possible to make tubes bend, grow and shrink by replacing the Kurve class and its methods by a four-dimensional (3D positions and another dimension for the tube size) quadratic spline curve but I don't know if it actually works. My algorithm is not ideal because since it greedily goes to...

[Mod] Nyancat's heaven (reworked) [nyanland]

I have embedded the nyancat dependency into this mod and reworked the portal build instructions above (see the first post in this forum topic; there are no ingame instructions), so the mod should be easier to install and use now. The new release is at codeberg and should (I hope) appear at the Minet...

Re: Curve mesh generation algorithm for use with nodes

I've implemented an experimental greedy algorithm to voxelise a tube around a line segment, but it could be needlessly complicated and I don't know if it works reliably. I also don't know yet if I want to continue developing this or not. The code is there: https://github.com/HybridDog/mydev/blob/mas...

Re: Server Hardening?

Late to the thread, but host your server on OpenBSD and use LuaJIT's FFI to call unveil(2) and pledge(2) to restrict what the minetest process can do. Figure out the minimum set of privileges and paths by trial and error. Always run the server process as the least privileged user possible. These me...

I hate your president. He nurtures global warming by making companies switch to inherently slower programming languages. Companies likely choose Python3 over Rust since code can be written faster, so they can be earlier with their boasting about no longer using C and C++.
