I just found this community through the old one on world. good idea to move away to avoid further centralization.
Minetest/Voxelibre appreciation
I'm running a whitelisted minetest server for a couple friends. it is publicly listed and peeps can ask to join if they're so inclined. I really enjoy this game although or because I own minecraft and feel like hobby devs like me should spend their time on foss projects, not microsoft.
Weird behavior
Currently, I'm experiencing some interesting behavior: I'm in a jungle and due to thunderstorms, the trees caught fire. the simulation distance I suppose, the fire does not get put out by rain and slowly burns down all the things around me. Although it is raining every day.
I tested this by going near the fire while it was raining and it gets put out.
I think fire should either have finite lifespan if not placed on netherrack or at least lightning should only hit in the same distance as the simulation distance is at.
Currently trying to judge if anyone else has this problem and considering if I should look for an issue/create one.
Have a good one! :)
There is a PR open to decrease the aggressiveness of the fire burn. I will forward this to the dev who is working on this so they can take these points into consideration.
Thanks for raising the issue.
Thats incredibly kind of you! Thanks! Glad I joined this community.
Greetings. I am that developer. I've logged this issue in our bug tracker at https://git.minetest.land/VoxeLibre/VoxeLibre/issues/4417 The PR that SurvivalMariner mentioned is https://git.minetest.land/VoxeLibre/VoxeLibre/pulls/4304
Hi there! I'm very impressed that you took the time to respond and be so helpful! thank you so much!
I checked the PR. It looks like its not ready to be pulled. Can I disable fire tick and extinguish all fires until then? do you happen to have that ready? where do I generally find resources like this?
Worth removing the full stop as it messes with the second URL.
Understood.
