Hey guys, bit of a newb question here. I managed to follow some tutorials and make a block that does cool stuff when you punch it.<br><br>However, I'd like to use that abs function to make that block act on its own, like grass does.<br><br>Do I just register the abs in the same init file as the node registration?<br><br>And further, to clean up the file a bit, is there a way to call a function from another file? I mean, I know there is, but I've been looking at documentation for a week and I just can't seem to find it.<br><br>This is a proof of concept for a "wolf and rabbit" type simulation by the way, if you're curious.<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="https://forum.luanti.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=54819">Wranglyph</a> — Wed Jan 28, 2026 20:23</p><hr />

I'm a bit confused... If it's too late to register new ores at that time, then logically none of my own ores should be registered since that occurs only within the callback. But during testing I found that most of my ores were being registered, just not all of them. It was puzzling because the ores which failed to register were all located inside the same files where the working ores are. For example, gemstones are working and are registered from within "mineral-non_metal-ore.lua", but all the other ores in that file are missing from the table. Most stones are registered, but a few are missing. All of the metal ores are missing, which is really odd since that file is loaded before the one that registers the gemstones.<br><br>Apparently I've spent too much time in a terminal and forgot that Firefox can read plaintext files, which solves my non-issue of posting code *facepalm* Here's the broken init.lua file, and in the meantime I'll be reading that forum you linked.<br><div class="codebox"><p>Code: </p><pre><code>local geopath = minetest.get_modpath("geo")---- API and Config--geo = {}dofile(geopath.."/config.lua")dofile(geopath.."/api/climate.lua")---- Nodes--dofile(geopath.."/nodes/stone-sedimentary-node.lua")dofile(geopath.."/nodes/stone-metamorphic-node.lua")dofile(geopath.."/nodes/stone-igneous-node.lua")dofile(geopath.."/nodes/sediment-node.lua")dofile(geopath.."/nodes/mineral-metal-node.lua")dofile(geopath.."/nodes/mineral-non_metal-node.lua")dofile(geopath.."/nodes/blocks.lua")---- Items and Tools--dofile(geopath.."/craftitems.lua")dofile(geopath.."/tools/flint.lua")dofile(geopath.."/tools/ruby.lua")dofile(geopath.."/tools/sapphire.lua")dofile(geopath.."/tools/hammer.lua")----[[ Mapgen--NOTICE: The exact order in which these files are loaded seems to matter morethan I once thought.

Doing copyright correctly means you need to know where the things you use come from. If you use a mod with ai-generated assets or code, you should know this and it should be declared in the used mod's README/license. As for ai-assisted, I'm not too worried about this being labelled correctly. It shouldn't be significant for copyright - it's basically impossible to tell if code is AI-assisted. So do this on a best effort, if you don't know whether a mod you include is ai-assisted then you're not going to get in trouble for it.

> We do test but none us has seen this issue (I'm not even sure what you're referring to - is it the textures looking odd or the unshaded appearance?) Freshreplicant and Nininick said that too, I thought they were trolling this "Karen"... To me at the very least, the yellow-blocks-with-leaves blocks in the first screenshot look like a transparency issue. It's the kind of thing I got when the use_texture_alpha attribute was changed at some point. The violet blocks in the back and the wood-on-blue-background on the right seem out-of-place too. In this cases, it looks "as if" the wrong textures are being applied - which is consistent with the first case (texture with alpha channel being used in a block definition without use-texture-alpha).

> Well, unfortunately, there's practically nothing I can do, because I refuse to go to 5.15.0 until the graphical glitches are resolved. > I found it within 24 hours of the updates release. Yet, none of you care about it, I know Mojang would never let such graphical glitches fester, which is why every release of Minecraft lacks any significant graphical glitches. Consider me as "Staying behind" in this case. Look, I know this is frustrating. But in effect you're refusing to get yourself help, because you're the only one has both (1) experienced this glitch and (2) reported it. We do care, however you can't expect us to fix an issue that we can't reproduce or on which we simply don't have enough information. We are all on different computers and phones, on different operating systems (such as Android versions). Mojang is a multi-dollar company who can test their game on all the hardware they want it to run on. Luanti is a volunteer project where the community are invited to test things, but there is never any guarantee. It's absurd to compare the two. > Making matters worse: Android doesn't permit downgrading applications, so I was forced to uninstall the application, which resets it, and nothing was left. So it's more difficult to send screenshots from 2 different versions if I refuse to go forward. Maybe somebody else ran across it, and I hope they supply the screenshots to prove my point. I'm sorry you lost your data. It's quite bad that Android won't let you gracefully downgrade, and the files can't be touched by other apps usually. It is all up to you what to do. Consider though, that since you already are starting from scratch, maybe pushing harder to get the bug fixed by providing more data is not so bad an option. Have you got much to lose? Well, if it's going to make you lose your temper, then that's fine, leave it be. > I just showed the glitch to F-Droid, and they are legitimately shocked that such a glitch exists in Luanti. So F-Droid could revert back to 5.14.0, which would lead to a version dispute. That would be pretty drastic. I have 5.15 installed through F-Droid and no problems with it.

Something went horribly wrong in the development of the update and it backfired horrendously. Your problems are your own, in their own thread, and not typical.
