And yes, mods need some default stuff that they can count on. It gives modders new material to play with and rely upon. In general: Adding new blocks in moderate amounts is a good idea. So, please: New tree for new wood! The new texture as such can be kept, but the dark brown color ought to be still available (as well as the new color!). They're good roof material and provide a good contrast to normal wood. Can't you just add another tree that provides the new wood? New trees and wood types are always welcome! But that darker jungletree wood and the trunks minetest_game came with are also important. While I do like the new texture a lot, it is just too *diffrent* from the previous one. A big problem, howevre, is jungletree wood. It might be possible to get away with some of the texture changes as they are rather moderate and can be counted as improvements. Painters would get slightly annoyed if the paint later on turns to a diffrent shade or color alltogether. Think of textures like of a paint used to draw a picture. I do like the new textures - they look fine - but they're diffrent from the "original" minetest_game ones and thus change already built buildings. The only real issue I have with minetest_next is that it changed textures. Those chairs and tables looked very nice. On one server, the chairs and tables even came in normal wood and junglewood design. That furniture is extremly useful and decorative. I'm thinking especially of the chairs and tables (perhaps the lamp as well) which homedecor took over from 3dforniture and improved. ![]() Perhaps part of it might be considered for addition. No additions that are decided to be too much (e.g. Punch bones to pickup items, drop them if no space for bones Craft output for stairs is 6 (instead of 4) #237 Farming API (slightly changed behavior too) Commands: /sethome & /home (with privileg) Bookshelves have an inventory (for books) #180 Additional mirrored recipes for axes #182 Upward digging for papyrus and cactus #223 Glass door, Obsidianglass door, Trapdoor Dessert Cobblestone, -stairs, -slabs #250 Improve/add API to allow mods to extend the features (e.g. Focus on stability and completeness (no half-finished stuff) No additions that are decided to be too much (e.g. ![]() Ensure balanced gameplay while still adding new and useful items/nodes/etc. The new direction of development is following: To prevent problems with the development like before ( see this post) its maintained for now by only three people (sfan5, nore, BlockMen). Minetest NeXt got merged into the default game (minetest_game) and all further developed will take place at minetest_game ( )
