X-Decor-libre [xdecor]

ContentDB

X-Decor-libre is a libre Luanti mod which adds various decorative blocks as well as simple gimmicks.

This is a libre version (free software, free media) of the X-Decor mod for Luanti. It is the same as X-Decor, except with all the non-free files replaced and with bugfixes. There are no new features.

New blocks

This mod adds many decoration blocks: Flower pot, weathervane, radio, speaker, wooden tile, new bricks, lamps, candles, new doors, packed ice, and more.

This mod also adds 7 new block shapes for many Minetest Game blocks. They can be created by using the workbench. This includes panels, mini blocks and flat stairs.

Special nodes

Most blocks in this mod are purely decorative, but there are also many special blocks with special features:

  • Workbench: Storage, crafting, cutting and repairing
    • Storage: 16 item slots for item storage
    • Craft: 3×3 crafting grid
    • Cut: Put a full cube-shaped block to create new shapes

  • Enchanting table: Upgrade your tools with mese crystals
  • Ender Chest: Interdimensional inventory that is the same no matter where you put the ender chest
  • Mailbox: Lets you receive items from other players
  • Item Frame: You can place an item into it to show it off
  • Cushion: Reduces fall damage

  • Cauldron: For storing water and cooking soups
    • Recipe: Pour water in, light a fire below it and throw in some food items. Collect the soup with a bowl
  • Lever: Pull the lever to activate doors next to it
  • Pressure Plate: Step on it to activate doors next to it
  • Chessboard: Play Chess against a player or the computer (see CHESS_README.md)
