Some users may use filtering but not have the "clean transparent"
filter enabled in the Minetest engine config. Bake this filter
into all images to (1) avoid the consequences of this (i.e. black
halos), and (2) possibly speed up startup time (the filter will
converge immediately).
Get rid of the intuitive leap necessary to climb a
tree to make planks. Instead, a wooden adze
can be gravel-tipped (adzes are now represented
in all tiers) and can chop tree trunks.
The graveled adze is as powerful as a wooden
hatchet and spade combined, in terms of
diggability, but it breaks after a SINGLE use.
It doesn't consume the gravel it's made from,
but reapplying the tip each use is a lot of extra
process.
- For inventory and wield images, this is already
possible via override.txt since 5.3.
- For special tiles, this will be possible in 5.4.
- This complicates things, and introduces warning
messages into mods built without awareness of
this feaure.
- As far as I know, no texture packs have actually
ever used this feature.
- Original texture by WintersKnight94.
- Node definitions and recipes adapted from original.
- Added some hooks in a few other places to make new
recipes work.
- Chip smooth stone with a lode pick or better to make brick.
- Bricks fall but don't repose.
- Apply mortar (wet aggregate) to bond stone bricks
- Bonded bricks can be moved but don't fall anymore.
This makes glassmaking more challenging, as glass that is quenched
when not molded, or left wandering too long, will tend to quench to
crude glass, which is inferior.
This also prevents molten glass from wandering the countryside
forever from failed glassmaking attempts, and precludes keeping
molten glass in "captivity" as a crude infinite light source.
Make the chip darker, like loose cobble it comes from instead
of smooth stone. Also make the chip larger and sit lower in
stacks and on shelves (e.g. against wooden base) to make it look
better and easier to see.
Make tool tips correspondingly darker too.
- Add a bit of stone to the tip of a wooden tool to harden it.
- Stone tools wear back down to their wooden originals.
- Stone tools dig faster, but wear quickly, so you need to pay
attention to wear levels and carry spare stone tips.
Also:
- Nerfed mining speeds again, but made higher-tier tools much
faster relative to lower.
- Nerfed tool durability as well.
Also:
- Standardized item ejection logic.
