Mesecons Blockwire

Description: The mod »mesecons_blockwires« is an extension to the mod package »mesecons« (http://mesecons.net/ - see below). It adds blocks, which look like default nodes (for example »dirt_with_grass«) but pass the signal from switches, treadplates, etc. in all directions. So you can build more elegantly because there are no open wires to see.

Use: Search in the inventory for »blockwires« (inventory image with four yellow squares). Create for example a wall and add a light block and a switch to your structure. Hit the switch to see what happens ...

Install: Unzip the downloaded folder and rename it to »mesecons_blockwires« (if necessary). Copy the folder into your »luanti/mods« folder.

Depends: This mod requires »default« (part of »minetest_game«) and »mesecons«.

Known Issues: There are currently no recipes for the blocks. Therefore, they can only be accessed in creative mode or with »giveme« (example: /giveme mesecons_blockwires:wire_glass_off). You can not see directly from the outside whether the blocks are conducting. This can lead to unwanted connections. The only way to distinguish a blockwire from a regular block is to press F5 and hover over the object to get its name.

MESECONS by Jeija and contributors

Mezzee-what?

Mesecons! They're yellow, they're conductive, and they'll add a whole new dimension to Minetest's gameplay.

Mesecons is a mod for Minetest that implements a ton of items related to digital circuitry, such as wires, buttons, lights, and even programmable controllers. Among other things, there are also pistons, solar panels, pressure plates, and note blocks.

Mesecons has a similar goal to Redstone in Minecraft, but works in its own way, with different rules and mechanics.

OK, I want in.

Go get it!

DOWNLOAD IT NOW

Now go ahead and install it like any other Minetest mod. Don't know how? Check out the wonderful page about it over at the official Minetest Wiki. For your convenience, here's a quick summary:

1. If Mesecons is still in a ZIP file, extract the folder inside to somewhere on the computer.
2. Make sure that when you open the folder, you can directly find README.md in the listing. If you just see another folder, move that folder up one level and delete the old one.
3. Open up the Minetest mods folder - usually /mods/. If you see the minetest or folder inside of that, that is your mod folder instead.
4. Copy the Mesecons folder into the mods folder.

Don't like some parts of Mesecons? Open up the Mesecons folder and delete the subfolder containing the mod you don't want. If you didn't want movestones, for example, all you have to do is delete the mesecons_movestones folder and they will no longer be available.

There are no dependencies - it will work right after installing!
