Randomized nodes
A mod able to create randomized nodes, complete with texture, name, world placement, node groups for recipes etc...

Shapeshifter
A mod that lets players change their appearance and model to that of a mob. Call it whatever you look: morph, transform, change into or possess a mob... The player physics would change too, as they would have the size, speed, animations and movements of that mob available to them. I'd like to find a way to make that viable as a gameplay option to a cost... maybe you have to wear a certain armor, or maybe it is a timed effect potion.
I've found these two mods that seem to do that but they are both quite old and i don't know if they still work:

Environmental hazard events
Events that would force the player to retreat somewhere safe while the event unfolds, possibly for several days. It would force them into zones they may not be accustomed to going to. These would not only be temporary setbacks that are not destructive, they should not destroy your construction, only hinter your progression into or entirely prevent you from accessing a certain area for a period of time.
For example:

• Sand storms that force you into caves
• Hot lava fumes that forces you out of caves
• Freezing winters that force you onto the coast
• Thick and sick fog roaming valleys that forces you into the mountains
• Sea tempest that forces you out of small islands and oceans

Is there a standalone mod that can enable "floating broken nodes" like what you get in VoxeLibre (aka Mineclone2)?

I.e., breaking a node doesn't just insert it directly into your character's inventory, but instead drops a floating node on the ground that must be collected with the nice satisfying "pop?"

Also, to make floating items (e.g., apples, mushrooms) be picked up when walking over them?

TenPlus1's builtin_item should be what you are after.

@xynix - If you mean minecraft style item drops and pickup then this is the mod you're after :)

https://content.luanti.org/packages/texmex/item_drop/

... the builtin_item mod though will affects dropped item physics like sliding on ice and being pushed by water.

Coolness -- thank you!!

That's funny ideas that you got ! Really like this one with environmental events :)

Colored item name and lores
- some as Minecraft plugin UberEnchant

45° signs
- 45° signs displays text - for tramway stops using Advtrains nodes

More-sides signs
- signs that has more sing nodeboxes in one node with different displays rows (for example - first 4 rows left nodebox and next 4 rows in right nodebox), in these configuration:
--- (optionaly) - normal, one-side sign
--- 2 sides opposite (showing text from "inner" place)
--- 2 sides corner (showing text from "inner" place)
--- 3 sides (showing text from "inner" place)
--- (optionaly) - 2 sides corner, showing text out
--- (optionaly) - 3 sides, showing text out

Virtual chests, avaible by command - with more virtual chests for each player.
EDIT: and post-chests between players

It's still a physical item but there is mailbox mod. I think it's fun to build post offices where players all have their own box to be honest. I think homedecor has a similarly-functioning node but.. it's homedecor..

Now that 5.11 adds font support, it should be easier to make something more comparable to ComputerCraft than was previously possible.

I just had a dream where I was playing with a mate showing him a random server I'd stumbled across and I was shocked to encounter players playing badminton in game.

Now at least on my Australian internet that would probably cause latency issues, but I was surprised when a search for 'sports' and a few specific sports on contentDB and Google didn't come up with anything, I might just be searching wrong.

When I was last working on my game/mods I hadn't really gotten my head around entities yet but I can't imagine a large beach ball would be too difficult, and I could definitely already make a lot of the aesthetic nodes.

Why don't we have a sports mod? Even if it's just cosmetic in nature.

I may do this myself so please message me if you or anyone else decides to make one, as I don't want to remake what others have already decided to work on.

The part I think would be hardest for me would be digital scoreboards that connect to digiline or mesecons and 3d spaces that can send out a signal when a given entity enters their volume.

Some more ideas:
1. escalator / moving stars mod
2. paternoster lift (I think that is for code very similar of escalator)

3. technical entities making machine - for example "car producer" for Automobiles pack, or for AdvTrains vehicles
4. technical entities editing machine - for example "vehicle painter" for Automobiles pack or some AdvTrains vehicles

Hey Everyone, I have a mod idea, why not add a mod where you can actually grow banyan trees

[raymondkn]

ok, I'm barely learning how to create mods that involve blocks, what I am wanting is something similar to the stair pick but can create mine shafts straight down basically turning any type of rock, maybe even dirt into a for of mine shaft ladder, so my users don't have to create ladder for going straight down. I once saw a tool that let you create climbing hand and foot marks on rock, it added a thin graphic block in front that was like ladder, but the tool made it on the spot, not using up ladders, but I can't seem to find it right now. I'm sure my idea would involve creation of the actual block types dirt or rock mine_shaft_ladder or some kind of climbing ridges in a passible block, there is a neat mineshaft mod I just heard about, but you still have to create the blocks and then place them, I'm hoping to just dig them. any stone_with_ore would harvest the ore as it altered the block to the shaft_ladder. I have no idea how to mod tools, I'm barely figuring out the blocks at this point :)
Edit: I found the handholds again, and also handholds redo these are a good start because I can dig down and make it easy to climb out without having to make stuff, being able to dig a stone type block and replace it with handholds at the same time would be more like what I am thinking.

I think there a two ways to do this I can have a go at it, but I can not promise how fast.
Also a bit new for me :)
I could try to create a "pick" that when used on dirt or stone from the side it gets a texture overlay with a foot stair and makes that node climable. Maybe get pebble rock or small dirt in return?

or the way described earlier with a thin object.

You can pm me if you like.

You coulld use mymineshaft or mymasonhammer. One of them might work for what you want.

[degiel1982]

Even better :)

I edited my post when I rediscovered the handholds and the handholds-redo mods, they use a pick and make climbing holes on the side.
I'm looking more for something that will let you dig straight down and then be able to climb out without needing ladders, the hand holds could work for this and just be another step, dig first then create the climbing holes, but it would be nice to maybe have it happen at the same time, so people don't fall in a hole behind someone and die :)

I have looked at the mymineshaft and that is kind of like what I am thinking, but from what I gather you need to make the pieces and carry them with you and have them ahead of time, just like ladders.

I will look at the mymasonhammer, haven't seen that one yet. I will edit this post after looking at it :)

edit: Actually mymsonhammer looks like it combines the stair pick with the handholds idea, so that would be much more convenient to carry and I will try this one out, thanks for letting me know, about this one :)

ok, I played with mymasonhammer and other than I can seem to climb ladders, if that was fixed it appears to have a few types of ladders, ladder etched in side some of side missing, only thin rock ladder left is another version, stairs look fine and I can walk them, but any version of ladder doesn't seem to be climbable from my test, I will need to go look at updates from their page. it could be what I was wanting, just not the way I was thinking :)

I have fixed the ladder issue and changed the foot holds to what you are looking for

Now that the ladders work, The face of the ladder looks like plane stone, but it is climbable.

This is very close to what I was hoping for, a little different, also has extra stuff, but workable, thanks!

It didn't dig stone with coal? so If I'm going straight down and one is in the way, is there a way to create a ladder if I take the stone with coal out with another pick?

now I need to just play with it see if it is something I want to add into my world my students play in :)

sorry deleted to much of the quote stuff and it messed up the nesting.

Thanks
