If the driver manages to either die in a minecart or attach to some
other object, they may still be taking up space in the cart. No new
driver could enter a cart in such a situation, therefore any driver
of a cart without an attached object must be detached immediately.
Rotating a boat while it is attached to another object does not work as
expected: While the boat does not visually rotate, the head of the
driver rotates as if the boat did actually rotate. That looks wrong,
therefore no rotation must happen if the boat is attached to an object,
e.g. a minecart.
In Minecraft you can put a boat in a minecart and steer the minecart
from the boat, which is quite useful to move mobs around – minecarts
have one seat, boats have two.
When a minecart drives over an activator rail, it detaches its driver.
In cases where the “driver” is a mob or a boat, the mob or boat can get
picked up again immediately, which is likely to be unintended behaviour.
By inhibiting minecart pickup for a second when detaching a mob or boat
from a minecart, activator rails behave as expected: Minecart drivers
are detached and not picked up immediately if they are a mob or boat.
Several mods set or unset the visibility of a HUD bar way too often (e.g.
in a globalstep handler), causing the server to send a lot of superfluous
HUDCHANGE packets to each client. Returning from hb.hide_hudbar() early
if HUD bar visibility would not change prevents sending these packets.
Mineclonia has inherited mods from MineClone 2 that send a lot of network
packets. This behaviour wastes bandwith and is most likely a major reason
for the unusually high amount of lag that MineClone2 and Mineclonia have.
Many network packets that are sent by Mineclonia are entirely useless.
Analyzing minetest log files to figure out what kind of packets are
sent and how often is a first step in getting rid of useless traffic.
Before this change, about 10 to 30 FOV packets were sent from the server
to each connected client each second. This patch only sends FOV packets
when the FOV actually needs to be changed, i.e. when the player starts
or stops sprinting.
Commit 819dbc6224c3b96ad4094cccf3d9150f3ef61d45 of MineClone2 introduced
an LBM that removed Ender chest formspecs stored in the node meta. That
change makes Ender chests that were loaded in MineClone2 versions past
that commit not show the Ender chest inventory form on right-click.
This patch makes those broken Ender chests work by introducing an LBM
that writes the formspec to the node meta for Ender chest nodes once.
Since the LBM name is suffixed with a hash of the Ender chest formspec,
changes to the Ender chest formspec (even removing it entirely) should
not require manual adjustment of the LBM code.
It was possible to duplicate snow layers by placing them and then mining
them using a tool enchanted with silk touch. This commit fixes the “snow
dupe” by reducing the amount of snow layers dropped in this case by one.
As beetroot often did not drop seeds, players could end up with no seeds when
trying to farm beetroot. This patch guarantees that at least one beetroot seed
is dropped when harvesting beetroot.
At some point in the past, Minetest had a bug that caused rendering
issues with transparent textures, like those used for banner gradients.
As a workaround, the number of allowed layers was reduced for banners
containing gradients. The engine bug has since been fixed, but the limit
was never removed.
This commit removes the limit.

Digging unknown nodes crashes the Clamity Minetest server, which
runs modified Minetest: https://github.com/ClamityAnarchy/minetest
Crashes did occur with commit d5434bf008 of that Minetest version.
This commit makes unknown nodes explicitly not harvestable.
With the introduction of the mcl_jukebox API, all music record items
were given new names. Old music record items were aliased, but never
worked with the jukebox. Apparently no one tested existing records.
By explicitly looking up the item name in minetest.registered_aliases,
the jukebox accepts old records, plays them, and gives out new records.
