New trees would only be in freshly generated map blocks, right?

- Tweak recipe (if Ethereal active, change acadia bush sapling for pink magical birch leaves).

Pink Magical Birch??? I thought I knew Ethereal pretty well but I've never seen those.

When I started out with 0.4.17 I found I had to use undersampling 2 or even 3, view range reductions to 50/60 and the perfomance tradeoffs setting to make it playable. Somewhere around 5.12-14 though I was able to use the def. 190 view range. With 1.15.2/1.16 I just now found out I can turn off perf...

Re: #2 I was wondering if there is a way to choose where those files go? It is putting the cache in ~/.cache/minetest/ (which sounds good but I tend to nuke /.cache/ to free space regularly) and the config in ~/.minetest/. Would setting up a desktop shortcut to the appimage and then defining a work...

Very nice. I'm considering moving from flatpak to this. The differences seem to be 1. No server (fine with me my old laptop probably couldn't handle that) 2. different places to put the config and cache files. Re: #2 I was wondering if there is a way to choose where those files go? It is putting the...

Are you playing on the Freeminer client? I have had trouble with using vanilla Minetest/Luanti Nope. I assumed they were 100% compatible but I guess that could be a reason. Incidentally the host which runs the various worlds of freeminer went down shortly after I posted and has not come back at the...

protections of any kind don't seem to work. even protected chests can be dug. I can confirm that on the fm:Road server (almost same as Sky:Yggdrasil which I also visited) protectors show the owner as @1 and while the chat shows a message about the area being protected the node is dug and annihilate...

Once I understood the Terumetal mod, I loved it. It deserves update and be in ContentDB. One update is to support Technic mod. It needs a HV heater generating 1000 HU/s. Yep, it's a bit tricky at start until you understand it's a tech mod based on heat as the power source. Some documentation also g...

Auf all den Deutschen servern reden wir alle nur du gleich vom anfang an wo wir uns zum ersten mal treffen. Ich glaub daß ist jetzt so der "norm".

tried Yams and find it great. I also liked Mesecraft but Yams seems more challenging when digging down. Mobs get really scary 600m down, where mapgen_v7 generates the huge caves. Digging deep down would be too hard with the limited torches, and seriously, I don't want to build thousands of lanterns...

It sure would be nice if there were some wiki page on what ores need to be mined with. I ran across an ore called Osmium. It was at -511 deep. An iron pick axe doesn't do the job but I have no clue what might be able to mine it. Also, there's others I've seen in the public mines that are not mine-a...

I've noticed that blinky plants send a pulse in every direction EXCEPT directly below. Is this a bug on the servers where I've seen this? (Tunneller's & Jungle) Or just a bug? Intentional? Why is it not documented if so?

What is that purple blinky? It doesn't look like the standard one.

It's called an adjustable blinky plant. Crafted from a standard one with an extra mese fragment. Interval can be set from 1 second upwards. Don't know what mod it is from.

My centrifuge solution. I've read about setting up 34 of them, etc. My method (probably already invented but eh) is this though: screenshot_20260302_144209.jpg The "trick" is the stackwise injector config. Sadly I could not make a screenshot of it so I must perforce use words. Exact match ...

UI+ all the way. From a player's POV it actually _helps_ you play. The others slow you down. i3 was my first fave but after I found UI+ I switched and never looked back. Sadly i3 has some nasty bugs (autocrafting destroys buckets, etc.) and the extra wide and sorting "features" turn out to...

The upgrade slots purportedly take either batteries or CLU but I have seen YT vids as well as servers where people put unlocked default chests in an upgrade slot. Why?

@MXB - Armor stands were updated to hold shields and use an invisible player model, to fix the odd one's just give it a punch.

Thanks! Shields fit in now? Awesome. Guess the "old" trick with the item frame can be retired. Now they can all hold the matching swords instead <grin>.

I wonder if this is also related to the new head animations (which work fine btw). Note how all the armour on the stand is half (?) a node higher than usual.

I wonder if this is related to a similar thing I saw on another server which is running multicraft (I'm using the official client natch) and the legs/arms are attached upside down when I look from outside.

Thanks for the examples. I can build a compact hopper system with 1 furnace 3 hoppers and 1 chest which is 5 nodes. It seems that such simplicity and compactness is not possible with pipeworks. : ( I prefer to build small and I guess pipeworks is more suitable for using vast swathes of space. I'll s...

Can it be used to do the same job the wonderfully clever hoppers do? I tried chest > injector > tube > furnace plus blinky and it just stupidly drops stuff on the floor.

Can't make mint tea with this installed. Requires the original water bucket.

- Xnether Lite has been installed to liven up the nether. Saw the new "fireflies" and the grass/flowers. Very nice. Samples of latter collected. ; ) Have not seen any trees though, is that the "Lite" effect? Mined some gold too. Wish I had one of those saws to get the block whic...
