@Arceusl - The maple tree mod uses the default.can_grow(pos) function to check for soil below the sapling and works fine (takes between 40 and 80 minutes to grow according to settings).

Sheesh...80 Minutes!?

@TenPlus1 - Are you sure Magical Dirt can grow any sapling? Even ones from outside Default, Ethereal & Farming Redo? Because I'm trying a Maple sapling from the Maple Tree mod with no success.

@Ristalk - Healing trees grow on top of the highest snowy mountains, they are quite rate but a sight to behold when you do find them.

I didn't know that either.

Lol, he has a point :P

Well, I wasn't expecting Cinnamon to be included, so I was confused upon its inclusion.

- Added Ground Cinnamon and Cinnamon Roll.
- Fixed a few typos.

Cinnamon? Huh?

@Arceusl - Which ores are you after ? and does a mod already exist to supply it ?


Well, it's a multitude:

First of all, there's TooManyStones, which hasn't really been changing that much, it features different stone styles, and is very unique because it makes the world more colorful ...

TenPlus1, do you have any other plans for Ethereal or perhaps a way to make a unified ores mod?

Last I checked the limit when not configured is 30,912, which is (2^15 = 32,768) minus a safety margin. You can find a lot of discussions about why we don't ("can't" isn't quite correct) have larger world sizes.


But then how did FreeMiner blow past those limits?


A lot of C++ changes and ...

For some odd reason the world generation stops at the arbitrary number 31,007. I can't set it any higher (I was trying to get it to 2^16, or 65536), why is that? This is a bizarre problem, and I need an explanation for this.

Do we know where we can find the source code/instances for these clients? or is there some other piece of information that hints to them being mobile clients (and specifically forks of the mobile client)

As if those people would care about licenses. They do some optimization on the clients to ...

- Tweak recipes to use food_glass_milk group.
- New screenshot.

There is a Cakes mod from Minecraft that went further when it came to cakes/pies, I wonder how many cakes/pies could be implemented...

- Add apple cider vinegar.
- Tweak some food recipes.

Still, should you actually start adding things from dying mods?

Just tested the Willow leaf change, it is much less laggy now.

@Arceusl - Stay calm, breathe! One of the benefits of a Crystal Shovel is it's soft touch in digging up dirt.

Oh, I didn't know that...

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 ...

@Arceusl - Generally the biome you find the tree in and take the sapling is the dirt type you need to grow it, with the exception of magical_dirt which can grow all saplings, either that or bonemeal.


Now, how the hell can you get Magical Dirt? You need Silk Touch (X Enchantment) or the Chest ...

@Arceusl - Maple is better as it's own mod, and sea decorations works fine with Ethereal... If in doubt, try it out :)


Okay, so I can keep Sea Decorations.

But Maple is questionable with compatibility, don't forget that it isn't updated much, which puts it in danger of being left behind.

Plus ...

- Have Willow leaves follow the 'ethereal.leaftype' setting.

@Arceusl - Willow leaves were kept plantlike on purpose, but I've changed them to adhere to the leaftype setting even though they may not look as good.


Yeah, plus, that change helps reduce lag on weaker devices.

Now, I still want to ...

@Slightly - Their are already settings to handle leaf drawtype in the mod itself, and I personally run the latest Minetest on my 2gb acer cloudbook for testing which runs just fine using the built-in Intel graphics.

The 32px leaf texture isn't the issue, it's the budget Summit 5G android device ...

I also noticed incompatibility with the Maple Tree mod, which surprisingly is absent from this mod.


Is it really? I've played on LinuxForks before that has both ethereal and maple


Well, the "walk through leaves" feature (Which Etheral has) isn't compatible with the Maple Tree mod. Plus ...

I found a couple issues: Willow Tree leaves are horrifically laggy, and can cause issues which could cause the Luanti application to suddenly crash on weaker devices (4GB RAM or less), also I have no idea if saplings can grow in different biomes.

I also noticed incompatibility with the Maple Tree ...

@Arceusl - https://content.luanti.org/reviews_policy/

I seriously think that might need to be adjusted.

@Arceusl - You used the mod review to push a non existant game you were developing and stated there was bugs when using mineclonia which you couldnt define as they didnt exist.

Well, some people point it out, and get away with it. So why can't I? Discrimination only creates more tension.
