Experimenting with sfinv switch... I hate how the tabs look (I can't even style them!), but the switch will be necessary anyway.

2024-35 r7

Highlights

• Weather mechanics. Now it can rain or snow, depending on the biome. Both rain and snow extinguish fire, rain can wetten farmlands, and snow accumulates on the ground in layers.
• Bones redo. Bones mechanics got a huge update based on changes from MTG, including (but not limited to) configurable bone sharing and different bone modes (i.e. what to do with player's items on death - "bones"/"drop"/"keep").
• Settings redo. The game settings were updated and sorted out into different categories for easier navigation.

Other changes

• Don't generate falling nodes without support (stone or desert stone).
• Prevent player-placed leaves from decaying (@j-r).
• Lower snow's collisionbox to let players climb up it.
• New binoculars and pine needles textures (originally by @Mirtilo).
• New player skin (based on one by @Mirtilo).
• Desaturate and darken granite textures.
• Import EmptyStar's BiomeDB.
• Improve MTG group compatibility with dye mod (@j-r).
• Expand vg_init's toolset: add a function to call pointed node's on_rightclick (voxelgarden.call_on_rightclick).
• Add tab to vessels shelf GUI.
• Fix grass and dry grass spread ABMs (@j-r).
• Fix river water dummy nodes. Now they are aliased to regular water.
• Fix a few code deprecation warnings.
• Fix typo in README.md (@silvasch).

2024-43 r11

Highlights

• Accessible GUI. Higher contrast, lower transparency. Use /toggle_gui to switch between regular and accessible modes. Which one is the default for all players can be switched in the settings (regular mode is set by default).
• Lighting redo. Intensity, strength, radius and other settings for lighting effects (like dynamic shadows and bloom) can now be set in the settings. The new implementation is also much more future-proof, as we prepare for major engine changes.

Other changes

• Update mod translation files.
• Fix issue and PR templates for the Codeberg repo.

  • Reflect engine rename (Minetest → Luanti).
  • Rewrite the Getting Started section in README.
  • Improve wording and grammar.
• Replace the screenshot with a new, more vibrant one.
• Make 5.9 the new minimum version.
  • Fix most 5.9+ deprecation warnings.

I ended up switching up that mod for a different implementation, by wsor45, for multiple reasons. But the colored skies themselves stayed, as you can see in-game! :D

2024-51 r14

Changes:

• Update fences and walls from upstream MTG.
  1. Pull upstream MTG changes for the walls mod, with some prettifying.
  2. Properly introduce the vg.enable_fence_tall setting.
     • was mentioned in the code already from the previous upstream pull for default as enable_fence_tall, but never actually included in settingtypes.txt or minetest.conf.example
     • unlike MTG, it's true by default because of the stepheight VG has
     • prevents stepping over instead of jumping over (see previous point)
  3. Nerf the walls crafting recipe a bit (24 pieces → 12).
• Make the beds movement check more lax for better mod support (@tenplus1).
• Fix bloom-related setting types.

2024-52 r15

Changes:

• Make supporting sandstone generate under sand in deserts.
• Get rid of BiomeDB, massively reducing the game's size.
• Convert locale files from *.tr to *.po(t).
  NOTE: This breaks translations with Luanti versions before 5.10. This is done in preparation to open Weblate translations.
• Minor maintenance changes.
