This minetest mod adds a lag-free, simple and stylish item and node
|
||
|
|
frame to minetest. It can contain either nodes or craftitems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The player can place these frames in any orientation, just like normal
|
||
|
|
nodes. Then, with an item or node in hand, the player can place the
|
||
|
|
item or node into the item frame. If the itemframe is punched, the
|
||
|
|
item or node is returned to the puncher.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The concept works through the use of object materials. The empty
|
||
|
|
frame node has the same model, but part of the mesh is transparent
|
||
|
|
and therefore not visible. If an item is inserted, the transparent
|
||
|
|
textures are replaced with the texture of the item or node, and thus
|
||
|
|
it looks like the node is inserted, while effectively the frame is
|
||
|
|
a single node without metadata.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are no crafting recipes for each variant. The player can craft
|
||
|
|
a frame and potentially use `/giveme` to give filled versions of the
|
||
|
|
frame, but the creative inventory does not contain them as they are
|
||
|
|
easily filled already.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The model was made in blender from scratch by the author.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The texture of the frame itself was created from the itemframe texture
|
||
|
|
of the excellent Isabella II texture pack, which is Public Domain. The
|
||
|
|
texture has been reworked to allow for a more detailed texturing of
|
||
|
|
the frame model.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The frame mod has an API that can be used by other mods to create
|
||
|
|
new item/node-frame combinations. See api.md for usage information.
