ce68f8535a Ores (non-mgv6 mapgens): New distributions
Make deeper, to compensate for ease of travel using 3D noise tunnels.
Make depth more progressive with value:

Ore, upper limit

Coal 64 no change
Iron 0 no change
Tin -32 > -64
Copper -16 > -128
Gold -64 > -256
Diamond -128 > -512
Mese crystal -64 > -512
Mese block -1024 no change

Make y of 1st density increase deeper but following a similar logic to before:

Ore, upper limit

Coal 0 no change
Iron -64 no change
Tin -128 no change
Copper -64 > -256
Gold -256 > -1024
Diamond -256 > -1024
Mese crystal -256 > -1024
Mese block -2048 new

Add second, denser layer of mese blocks with a decrease of separation and
increase in density equal to mese ore layers.

0e24905e65 Mapgen: Completely separate mgv6 ore registrations
This allows us to preserve mgv6 ore distribution while giving us the freedom
to alter ore distribution for other mapgens.
Other mapgens are larger scale and have 3D noise tunnels which make vertical
travel easier, so ores can be deeper.
Other mapgens have registered biomes which allows us to limit ores to certain
biomes.

eded5da341 Tin: Tune mapgen, bugfix, fix texture credits
Previously i had matched ore density to moreores, but this density was
too high and out of balance with MTGame, reduce density to be similar
to copper ore.
The 2 levels of underground ore were overlapping, fix.
Textures are actually by kilbith, update credits.

Also credit kilbith for bronze, copper, gold and steel blocks, credits
had not been updated at the time.

6d94eafa7e Mapgen: Use decoration sidelen 16 for jungletrees and junglegrass
Currently jungletrees and junglegrass use sidelen 80 for simplicity,
but this results in a more uneven distribution of decorations. A more
even distribution helps keep rainforest darker with a more unbroken
canopy.
This is also more consistent. 80 is based on the default mapchunk
size, all other decorations use sidelen 16 or smaller to divide into
any mapchunk size.

1bac18f257 Tree schematics: Alter jungletree, aspen, pine, appletree
Denser jungletree for darker rainforest:
Highest 'jungletree' nodes now prob 255.
Add a 5th lower branch layer.
Increase lower branch layer y-slice prob to 191.

Aspen:
Extend trunk upwards by 1 node to reduce leafdecay radius to 2.

Pine:
Make lower trunk 1 node longer so that lowest branches are more often
higher off the ground, also to make pines taller.

Appletree:
Make 2 opposite branches prob 255, the other 2 prob 127, to avoid
trees with 1 or 0 branches. Therefore also add random rotation.

2a1e2c8cb7 Move nyancats into a separate mod
Nyancats are independent in the default mod. Nothing else uses them or
their code. Separating it into a separate mod makes it easier for
subgames to remove them. It also makes it easier for a mod to depend
on nyancats, as lots of subgames don't have them.

Default/mapgen.lua: Register biomes, ores and decorations in
singlenode mapgen. These were never disabled anyway because
singlenode was removed from the world creation menu.

d527f38c15 Aspen trees.
Adds a birch-like tree to the default_game. Aspen was chosen on
purpose instead of birch, as several birch tree mods already exist
and choosing a different name avoids any conflicts.

Schematics were made for both normal and sapling version, assuring
saplings will not be able to grief. The shape of the Aspen is "fanning
out at the top" and provides an easy tree to walk under, but still a
somewhat thick cover. The Aspen trunk is 4 to 6 blocks tall, with up
to three layers of leaves on top, making it slightly taller than an
Apple tree, but shorter than a Pine tree, which provides a good blend.

Textures were painted from scratch, except tree_top and _wood
variants, which are color modified versions of the pine_wood
variants. Appropriate licenses have been chosen for the new textures.

The leaf texture is light enough to contrast other trees, but dark
enough to offset against our light default grass color. The leaves
are drawn in the typical minetest default fashion with plenty of
transparancy, but enough definition to suggest that you're seeing
something that looks like leaves. The placement of leaves in the
schematic also suggests the top of the tree is sparse and you can
see the sky through the leaves.

Sapling texture is both traditional and different, with lush green
leaves and a well-defined stem, but slightly stick-like and skinny,
as these plants tend to grow up first, then out.

Add fallen Aspen logs. We make these logs a minimum of 2 blocks long,
and up to 3. This allows us to make these logs a place where both
red and brown mushrooms can be found, to these may be attractive to
players. However, the spawn rate for these has been reduced a lot
compared to the other logs, to account for the scarcity of Aspen.

Add stairs, slabs for these wood types as well.

Mapgen will place these trees in deciduous forests only, but in
a way that the biome is a range between entirely Apple trees, and
mostly entirely Aspen trees, with a bias to Apple trees. To make
fallen logs somewhat correlated with trees, we modify the planting
of Apple trees and logs to use perlin noise and not fill ratio,
otherwise you'd always end up with Apple logs in Aspen tree areas,
which would be suspicious. There still is a bit of a mix.

bb9d4a21ef Lower mushroom-on-log rate for pine forests.
These were likely too high, so we lower them to the rate
of mushrooms on apple trees.

c486b2d944 Place tree logs as decorations.
We can vary the landscape a bit more by placing "fallen logs"
around the various forests. These decorations are quite fast
and will provide some gameplay value but are still more rare
than the corresponding trees, so they don't provide free
materials.

I've manually put the schematic as lua tables since these log
schematics are only 8 blocks. We vary the log lengths between
1 and 3 blocks by making the end blocks have a lower chance
of appearing.

Amount is varied by fill_ratio, except for acacia trees where
we reduce the scale, so that acacia logs show up near places with
acacia trees consistently.

Mushrooms are placed optionally on each log. We can't place
two different mushrooms on a log, so instead we opt to place
brown mushrooms on oak/appletree logs, brown mushrooms on
jungletree logs, and red mushrooms on pine logs. No mushrooms
are placed on acacia logs, as they occur in a dry biome,
savannah, and this adds a bit of biome diversity.
