You’re 100% right. Actually, I was just thinking that myself! I’m so happy to see you both back again! Welcome back! Hey, I just registered mese.net a few weeks ago! I am and going to move a new site there with forums and I’d really appreciate it if you’d all join me there and help us move mesecraft and the mese net along!~ I’m sure we’ll get some new help and have more adventures ahead of us! Did you know Minetest is renaming itself to0! I guess great minds think alike, huh? 😀 anyways, I think we should restart the server too! I’ll download it now and back it up in case anyone ever wants access to their builds. Get ready for a brand new MeseCraft world and updates to begin again soon! <3
Hey carzomg! People are still around. Personally, I’ve been doing a lot of parenting and moving homes. Activity has slowed a bit but I’m hoping to help ramp it up again soon with some changes and more investment into development and community involvement.
We’ve had a bit of a lul and development slowed. But I’ve been doing some work on the site this weekend and I’m working on a project to rebrand mesecraft.com under mese.net, a new USA cloud server (that we are now on as of this weekend), and future servers in europe and asia. I’m planning to hunker down this winter when it gets cold out (chicago winters) and bundle up and get some development work done on the games. There are a few pull requests that need to be addressed and immediate bug fixes.
You need to combine iron with charcoal to make steel.
You can burn logs (wood, not planks) to make charcoal and combine that with an ore.Hey! 🙂
Are you talking in about the zoom in effect that happens when you press “Z” on the keyboard? I’ve received feedback about that and people have stated that it likely causes performance issues in terms of increased network overhead. So I may end up removing that effect completey. Would this resolve the problems you’ve listed?
Patch is live on the server. This is a temporary patch! I’ll let it run for a bit before reverting.
I know it seems crass, but the reason things break like this sometimes is because there are so many things changing in MeseCraft that it makes it difficult to account for all of these and do the additional work required to put backward compatibility into everything.
I’m still motivated! Im working on ideas and narrative a lot still when they come to me.
Yes, someone else here could probably give you more info on contributing, but I believe you are correct. You make a branch and can merge. Ideally, please try to keep merges coming into unstable and they work their way up from there (–> testing, stable)
🙂
I think the last news post was Jan, but there have been updates since. I’m still commited, I know development has slowed, I’ve been very busy (work+family)and need to layout the todo list for contributors on what needs to be done and publicize that so we can get more efficient help/contributions.
Aside from that, I’ve been designing narrative quite a bit and rethinking somethings.
There has been a lot of improvements done to the website on the backend for performance and anti-spam, and just this month there were some very nice hardware upgrades for the server the site and games run on.
-Komodo
I’d have to go through the code and try to minimize it’s functionality to the essentials and try to optimize when it runs or adjust timers.
I can check for a switch that could be added to the software that could detect the config and turn off dynamic liquids.
Welcome, good points, and I aim to get these optimized soon. I know the ABMs and smoke/fire/lava is a bit out of control but the dynamic they add is fun too.
you can adjust that in the game.conf file. you need to change the way bones mod is configured. you may need to read the bones mod readme in the files
If you feel like doing another journey, i’ve implemented a short term fix for it on the server that should enable them.
i had to enable them in the world.mt world file for some reason. they should be enabled through the game settings though, but it’s not working. You can give it a try now, i think they’d appear now.Ok ill get it give me another couple days. Prettu sure i know what it is. But not sure why it didnt fix it
I just pulled the recent updates into the stable server and rebooted it. Can you test it now and see if you can get a market to appear?
Also, there are more songs here: https://www.mesecraft.com/forums/topic/new-soundtrack/
The music files can currently be found here: https://github.com/MeseCraft/MeseCraft/tree/master/mods_disabled/music_modpack
It’s been quiet around here, yes. We’ve been making some improvements to the game code and the website has been improved alot and performs a lot better and has better anti-spam code too.
They are using a VPN. It’s been the same group of people. Don’t give them attention. Just report & I’ll ban and look into counter-measures when I’m able. I’ve looked into some already but haven’t implemented any improvements yet.
@andyiii, awesome response. Thanks.
Should protected beds set non-protected players spawn to the location? Any thoughts on this? I can see merits to both ways.
Those can show up occasionally. It’s a minetest mapgen bug from what I understand:
https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=14718
https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/195Are you sure these are the circumstances that reset the spawn? Maybe it’s if you try to sleep in the bed without it being nighttime? or did you unset your other bed? Anything like that? I’m not sure how it happens and wasnt aware of this until today but it sounds like its frustrating.
I think maybe this is the function responsible?
https://github.com/MeseCraft/MeseCraft/blob/unstable/mods/mesecraft_beds/api.lua#L16-L25
Looks like it can remove spawn points, which then probably the spawn point reverts back to the server default spawn.
I don’t have time this weekend to fix it, sorry.
I have no idea what reverse is supposed to do. It looks like it might be a check so that the bed properly removes itself to fix a bug that happens sometimes. If anyone who can code can take a look when convienant, that’d be awesome. If there isnt an issue for this filed on github, we’ll need to file it.
Busy with my baby this weekend and have lots of adulting going on this week.
I think the lava thing is due to smoke processing and liquid processing. His post was held up in moderation and I just approved it. @adude sorry for not seeing it sooner.
i need to enable these markets in the world settings, or better yet, enable them by default. weird theyre not in the game settings… they should be for MeseCraft. need to check this tonight.
Yes, 1K is considered orbital zone. Then 3K is moon. Lots of room and ideas to be built with space. Hopefully new planets and areas with unique biomes one day.
Great feedback. Give me some time to respond, but TNT revamed is already included. The items should be picked up by proximity as well. I’m not sure why it’s not in your game. I’ll have to double check.
We’ll be working on textures over time.
If you do some youtube, let me know and maybe I can feature it here.
Which mountains and colors do you mean? the volcanoes? They are just stone and dirt i think?
Sprint, not going to add it,it’s asked for a lot, but I think it makes mob evasion too easy. I think sprinting will be tied to magic (mese) abilities and items instead of a player ab ility that can be used anytime. Not sure if springing really adds anything meaningful to how players interact with mobs and the game.
TNT man, yes he is bascically just a discount bargain bin creeper-like guy. I can’t put in a creeper texture for obvious reasaons, but other than that, it’s a great mob to have in since he just blows up.
Also, the eggs season are not working because the hacky way I implemented seasonal mobs. When they spawn they instantly do a check to see what the date is. if its not xmas time, they disappear. It was the only way I could figure out how to make mobs seasonal without requiring server reboots during the holidays. I’m hoping there’s a better and more effcicient way eventually. People have complained about a low mob rate. that should be improved for sure.
Mese is an alien (foreign material) ore that is valuable. That is how it will be according to the lore at least. Energy source and maybe some special alloy material.
Yeah, I heard once 343 took over it was starting to decline. I haven’t played Halo 5, but just a couple weeks ago I sat down with baby momma and we played through Halo Coop 1, 2, 3, Reach, and 4 in that order on Heroic. It was a lot of fun. I don’t think I’d get to the point where I’d read the books. A lot of the story and campaigns in Halo are confusing. There is so much jumping around and back and forth, but the gameplay is very solid and the locations are different and fun, good weapons, vehicles. I tried reading a Halo book about 10 years ago but never really finished or got too into it.
We’re (we as in contributers and I) actually gradually replacing textures with versions that are redone and colored by a 64-color palette I’ve selected.
Mailbox, Fireplace, and a few other items already have new versions. You’ll see more coming out soon.
@keihdra The update hasn’t made it into the main branch of the game yet. Right now it’s only in the unstable (alpha) branch. Then it will move through testing branch (beta) –> the main/master branch (mesecraft). I tested it last night and it did generate islands at the right elevation but it seems like there was a crash too involving an inventory placement. (log above this post)
As for your game and the servers, once the update is in the main branch, it will just mean that islands will now generate around 500. the ones that have been generated already will still be there where they were.
had a crash today after updating cloudlands and testing. posting to save it:

OK, I’ve moved cloudlands biomes to +500 altitude with a +/- 100 variance. Someone should test this out with cloudland portals!
I like all of these, I’ve been wanting to include more biomes, another planet with different biomes, skins, and nether content. 🙂
I’ve been considering adding a testing minetest-server on a new server online that is not ran on the same hardware as “stable”
i shut down the testing server, freed up some memory, maybe that will help. let’s see. Let me know in an hour or two. It could just be busy on the server our server is on. (we have “neighbor” servers on the same hardware other people run)
An account was made here with that name, but given the rudeness and harassment that player has been treating us with, even after them being given a second chance and repeating the behavior, I decided to mark it as spam.
mentioned the fix in https://mesecraft.com/stability-and-features-updates-for-winter-dec-22/
Thank you kip and @gluonsolvent, I’ll fix it asap
Welcome to the forums, @giorge
Actually, there is an option to move protections to another account. Antrica1 was spamming and was banned, a donyboy alt, I’m pretty sure, but there isn’t actually a ban in the game still on the account. Antrica is in the forums still too.
FYI,
I’ve been thinking about this as you’re not the first person to say this to me. When I made the repository, I didn’t know much about git. I still don’t. I mainly chose notabug because 1.) I liked the simplified UI, it was easy to navigate for me 2.) TenPlus1 used it, and I liked his mods starting out my modding. 3.) It aligned with FOSS really well. However, the feedback is piling up and I think it might be beneficial to consider changing this to a better git. I’m still learning git as we go and am by no means an expert on this.
I don’t understand a lot of the features that come with changing to a better one and am simply going to imitate what the Minetest project uses, which is GitHub. I hope there is not a conflict of interest in this with Microsoft but if there are ethical dilemmas with this, I’m open ears.
For now, I think it would allow more developers to contribute to MeseCraft by switching use to GitHub. Unfortunately it is the standard right now in Minetest and MeseCraft needs manpower and contributions over time, and I think switching to this platform will make it more accessible for many software contributes.
I’m in the process of switching over everything to:
https://github.com/MeseCraft/MeseCraft
I would appreciate some feedback. Also, apologies for the delay, as I’ve been very sick lately but am significantly better now 🙂
Welcome to MeseCraft. Your initial post has been approved and subsequent posts will automatically go through without approval. 🙂
I’m thinking we need to enhance the abilities of the protector blocks to control for lava fire and water.
Also need to enhance our banning and reporting functions. Malicious Harrasment isn’t going to be allowed or tolerated.Welcome to MeseCraft @xerxiaxynn
I was correct already Antrica2 showed up. So Antrica and Antrica2 are both banned accounts/IP’s now.
If this continues let me know.Antrica, you cannot troll that stuff maliciously in this game server. This game is hosted for a general audience and your messages are intended to create a hostile and lewd environment to hurt and upset other players. That is not in-line with the culture and goals of this project and community.
Antrica’s chat privileges have been removed. Hopefully this stops the bad behavior. If it continues let me know please.
Moving forward, this may just mean Antrica will come back with a new username. If that happens, let me know and I can start escalating this to IP bans and IP range bans that start affecting their VPN IP ranges.
OK. Yeah that looks weird. I can remove that user’s chat privileges. They may need to be logged in for me to do it. But I’ll see what I can do.
Yes, I can look into it. When did this happen? I Can check logs. Any keywords they used that will help me find the chat messages? I have to search the logs.
I had it freeze on me yesterday but I figured it was my PC, has I had just updated it and it was running very slowly until restarting.
Anyways, I just restarted the server. Maybe try again now, let me know if it continues.
I don’t think we have spaghetti in MeseCraft. I think the server you’re playing on added it and its a server specific bug.
Mob spawns are too low. Ive gotten a few complaints in regards to this and i will up it soon. Just been extraordinarily busy recently. Itll be fixed asap.
Seasonal mobs run a date and time check on spawn to see of theyre in season. Not the best way to do this, but i havent come up with a working alternative to check time and date before the mob spawn parameters is defined.
I’m happy to hear that. Please keep me posted on how that’s working out. I’d like him to be able to get in. Maybe the tablets have a harder time loading MeseCraft recently and time out when connecting.
OK. The depth is -161.5, which should be the abandoned city under the surface. I’m aware of this issue and will attempt to get it fixed for the next major update. I’ll try to replace it with something more interesting. Thanks for reporting it 🙂 Welcome to MeseCraft.com hope you stick around.
Can you get the node name of one of the chests? (hover over it and press F5 debug menu) I suspect maybe it’s the chests in geomoria which are showing up as wood chests with no slots. Need to fix this then. I just want to make sure its not lootpack chests or anything in dfcaverns.
Hi, thread has been approved. First topics get flagged for review. It’s just for anti-spam purposes, every now and then a spammer gets through so we do that. Welcome to MeseCraft.com Community!
This should be fixed. Just need to pull the new code into the two servers. I’ll do that now. Can you test it?
I dropped groups as a feature and just decided to merge the discussions we had. I moved it into the forums so it was preserved and we still had a copy of that brainstorming. Gave that subject it’s own dedicated forum too.
The guide NPC is an idea I really like but I haven’t found any mods that can allow for discussions. Does anyone know of any? Maybe we can ask in the Minetest forums.
But in Terraria, there are NPCs you can talk and trade with. They even have quests. Would love to implement a similar system like that. That one server has a pretty good system like that but I can’t remember the name of it right now.
Yes. E-mail your creations and screenshots to contact @mesecraft.com and we will try to feature it on the screenshots page!
Do you know of any quality translator mods? I’ve already mentioned I’m open to trying some out.
I just distrust a program to reliable form proper semantics
I tend to trust/have faith in people vs relying on a program to do it for us with perfect accuracy.
Odie brought up a good point about wool for beds. and milk. But I think since these are essentials, maybe we can just use markets and have players sell items to noobs near spawn or we can consider cotton, etc?
