Known bugs
----------
- Minetest will not (or cannot) read settingtypes.txt correctly. Until this is resolved, all nodes are available by default
- The sign-writing machine will not display more than one page of signs at a time
- signs_api from display_modpack should be an optional dependency, but the minetest game won't start (sometimes) if signs_api is not loaded
- Sounds for the sign-writing machine are commented out because I don't know how to make them work
