# mcimport
|
|
|
|
This mod converts a minecraft world into minetest.
|
|
|
|
The process is offline. Minecraft should not be running on the world
|
|
that is to be converted. The output should be an empty folder, and
|
|
no map.sqlite should be present in the empty folder.
|
|
|
|
The output is a world folder that is playable, permitted that the
|
|
required minetest mods are installed. If mods are missing, you will
|
|
encounter "Unknown" blocks in the minetest world.
|
|
|
|
This mcimport fork was created to improve on the existing mcimport
|
|
project, with one significant change: This form aims to create
|
|
*playable* minetest worlds where stuff works:
|
|
|
|
- chests can be used to put stuff in
|
|
- doors open and close
|
|
- simple mesecons circuits may work
|
|
- furnaces work
|
|
|
|
Also, the assumption is that converted maps are for multiplayer
|
|
use, and that the most important motivation for using this
|
|
converter is to *preserve* previously custom built objects
|
|
and buildings, but *not* meant to preserve the gameplay style
|
|
and feel of minecraft. As such, there are numerous blocks that
|
|
are *not* converted 1:1 from MC to MT. A good example is Lapis
|
|
Lazuli. LL ore will be converted to plain stone, and LL blocks
|
|
into blue wool, simply because there is no reasonable equivalent
|
|
in MT that is an actually useful block and not something created
|
|
purely to copy MC. This project also aims to never convert
|
|
blocks to "Unknown" nodes and strives to leave a playable are
|
|
that is friendly for users performing a one-time conversion.
|
|
|
|
- some flowers are approximations
|
|
- double plants may end up being single node blocks
|
|
- wood types are similarly not an exact copy
|
|
- until fixed, beds, doors, fences, walls are likely broken
|
|
- signs convert, but MT can't rotate them in 30 degree angles
|
|
|
|
There are a large number of things that are just never going to
|
|
be convertable, and so the following will likely never work and
|
|
are therefore converted to air blocks. Entities are readily
|
|
spawned by several mob mods in minetest, so conversion is likely
|
|
not critical to users, and left out.
|
|
|
|
- crafting table
|
|
- hoppers, dispensers, droppers
|
|
- entities
