Here is a summary of what I've been up to in the Luanti world since the last time.

• Mod respawn new "teleport_choose" feature

  I added a teleport_choose formspec so you can easily teleport to your destinations. It pairs nicely with snippets:button with this command:

  -- this dot dot dot means the parameters, and snippets button node will run this snippet
  -- with one parameter, the name of the player who used it
  local name = ...
  core.log("action",name .. " opened teleport_choose.")
  respawn.choose(name,nil,true)

• Mod sickles improvements

  I fixed up scythes so that they correctly replant other plants that they already affected. It wasn't my intention that they work on potatoes and beetroots, but since they did, I fixed it so they replant them at level 0 or 1. Also, the scythe now also waits 2 seconds before pulling seeds from your inventory, because in Mineclonia, item drops do not immediately enter your inventory for being deducted (as "replanting" the seed).

• Mapserver reads newlines in Mineclonia signs now!

• Published novel mod lava_furnace. I already wrote about it because it was the first time my work was published in the official ContentDB.

  This new object is a furnace that can cook when adjacent to lava (source or flowing). You do not need to consume fuel anymore! You just have to craft it with a gold block too, so it's a bit more for the lategame.

• Reported an issue for automobiles_pck where the player sprite gets messed up if the motorcycle the player is sitting on gets destroyed. The author immediately fixed the issue!

• Published mod Obsidian Extra. I had already written it previously, but now it has been published! I had to dive into textures for the first time on this one.

• Requested a small code change to Mineclonia so external mods will be able to register potions in the built-in potion system.

• Wrote and published novel mod milk_potion. This lets you craft and brew milk potions, including splash and lingering variants! It depends on that recent Mineclonia patch which will take affect in Mineclonia > 0.115.0.

• Adapted a new mod Safe Chest to support Mineclonia! This password-protected object is really fascinating and I might adapt the password form for a password-protected door at some point.
