[Mod] Mesecons Windows [1.0.1] [mesecons_window]

by Wuzzy » Post

3 dynamic glass blocks for Mesecons which change their transparency when powered.

Image
  • Mesecon Window (middle): Opaque in off state, fully transparent in on state
  • Mesecon Filter Window (left): Opaque in off state, semi-transparent* in on state
  • Mesecon Filter Glass (right): Semi-transparent* off state, fully transparent in on state
* = Transparent to light, but sunlight will drop off in brightness after passing through.

All blocks conduct Mesecons energy in 6 directions.
Use a crafting guide to learn how to craft these.

I changed the crafting recipes for version 0.2.0. Hint: Use a crafting guide mod (http://wiki.minetest.net/Crafting_guide) to learn the recipes.

Version 1.0.0

by Wuzzy » Post

OK, I think this mod is now stable enough to call this “version 1.0.0”. No new features, I just increased the version number.

Version 1.0.1 released!

A German translation was added, and the license was changed from WTFPL to MIT License. Now at least Minetest 5.0.0 is required.

Also, the code repository is now on Codeberg.org at:
https://codeberg.org/Wuzzy/minetest_mesecons_window


By the way, the original reason why I had the idea for this mod is to make it somewhat easier to build something like mushroom farms. You could "open" the window with the press of a button to make the mushrooms visible and make it dark again because mushrooms only grow in the dark.

I'm sure the full potential of this simple mod hasn't been used yet. :-)
