![]() Part of what made upgrading my Minetest world tricky was that the world actually consisted of a number of separate components: the game engine, the " game" (a default set of mods for the game, formally called minetest_game or "Minetest game"), and, finally, all of the individual mods that I'd added to my world. Despite this being a large number of tasks, they all had to be done in one go, making for a rather tiring, though engaging, stretch of work and a lengthy blog. Hosting took a rather large amount of work, because, in addition to provisioning the server, I also: abused Portage into acting like a configuration manager, restricted access to authorized accounts only, created a bridge to my IRC server, configured the server to auto-restart on crash, and created a custom backup solution. In addition, I had also long desired to host the world on a permanent server rather than just my gaming rig, because, as said rig has bright blue LEDs on it which keep me up at night, it makes a poor server. ![]() Having finally fixed the tree-growth issue, it was time for me to upgrade my Minetest world to the newest version, including updating all of its mods.

Like in Great Britain, old mine carts are common decorations in Germany, sometimes accompanied by old mining tools. In Great Britain, restored mine carts (known as "tubs") containing floral displays can commonly be seen on village greens and outside pubs in former coal mining areas such as Northumberland and County Durham. They are also found in abandoned mineshafts that generate naturally as a part of the game's procedural generation. Minecarts and tracks can be crafted by the player in Minecraft and used for transportation. A minecart is also featured in Hoodwinked. Minecart levels, a term used for levels in which the player character takes a high-speed ride in a minecart, common level in video games, especially side-scrolling video games such as Donkey Kong Country. Mine train roller coasters were inspired by minecarts. Minecarts have been depicted as a type of thrill ride for instance Indiana Jones uses one in an escape scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. See History of rail transport.Ī mine car is weighed in a Kentucky coal tipple in 1946, before the coal is dumped into a railroad car. Minecarts were very important in the history of technology because they evolved into railroad cars. These were also used to pull trains transporting miners to the workfaces. Īs mines increased in size and output, the aforementioned methods became impractical because of the distances and quantities of material involved, so larger carts would be used, hauled by narrow gauge diesel and electric locomotives (in coal mining operations, where gas that is flammable would present a problem, the locomotives would be flameproof or battery powered). Originally, they didn't run on a real "rail", where the wheels would have a rim to fit into the tracks, but with plain wheels on a wooden plank way, hold in track by a pin fitting into a guide groove, or by the underside of the cart itself which was lower than the wheels and fitted between the planks ("Hungarian system"). They were generally introduced in early modern time, replacing containers carried by men. Shaped like large, rectangular buckets, minecarts ride on metal tracks and were originally pushed or pulled by men and animals (supplemented later by rope-haulage systems). Minecarts range in size and usage, and are usually made of steel for hauling ore. In particular, a V skip wagon is a side-tipping skid with a V-shaped body. and elsewhere, the term skip – or skip wagon (older spelling: waggon) – is used. In South Africa, a minecart is referred to as a cocopan in German, it is called Hunt (alternative spelling Hund). ![]() Throughout the world, there are different titles for mine carts.
