Luanti Mod Review: Basket

Minetest Videos

If you've ever found yourself needing a storage solution that you can bring along on a trip these baskets could fit the bill. When placed they act like chests and you can put/remove items, but they can be dug and carried around in your inventory with their respective inventory being stored.

00:00Welcome back to another Bluanty Mod Review. Today we are looking at the Baskets Mod.

00:06Baskets Mod adds baskets. Surprise, surprise, right?

00:09So let's look at the craft recipe first. It's pretty simple.

00:13You're going to need yourself a handful of wood and some string.

00:18One piece of string. I think it works with any wood.

00:22I really should have grabbed some other wood than just default wood.

00:25But yeah, there we go. We have a basket.

00:28Now the baskets, you interact with a normal node, so you place it on the ground.

00:33I suppose I could do that with this fresh new basket that I just created.

00:36I'll put it over here.

00:38So it pretty much acts as a chest.

00:41So in this basket, I'm going to throw some stone and I'm going to throw dirt.

00:45And then I'm going to call this Earth Materials, because why not?

00:53Okay, hitting enter does not work, so you do have to click OK. Not a big deal.

00:58I wasn't sure if that was the case, so hitting OK.

01:02And now I've set the name of this basket to Earth Materials.

01:05So here we'll see it's Earth Materials.

01:07It tells us, I don't know if this will come through on video too well, but two of 32 slots are filled.

01:12There's 93 stone and 10 dirt in this basket right now.

01:16Now I can dig up this basket, and it's now in my inventory, and you can see the same information.

01:24It's Earth Materials is its name, two of 32 slots filled with 93 stone and 10 dirt.

01:30And then I have a few other baskets here that I have already placed out.

01:33So this one's just an empty basket.

01:34So with no name at all, it just shows up as Portable Basket.

01:39See here, it's an empty basket.

01:41So if I go ahead and dig this, and then open my inventory, it's just labeled as Portable Basket.

01:47That does make me wonder, though.

01:50Can I stack the empty baskets?

01:53I can.

01:56Empty baskets are stackable, but baskets with material in them, for obvious reasons, are not stackable.

02:02So here I have one that's called Food, just because I named it Food, and I have some blueberries in there.

02:09And so we'll see when I look at inventory what that does.

02:14And we have some flowers in here.

02:16You can shift-click to move things in and out as per usual as far as inventories go.

02:22And then this one, I have some plants.

02:24So I'll throw my grass in there and some wheat seeds in there.

02:27Kishore, why not?

02:28That sounds about right.

02:30Now if I go ahead and look at these in my inventory, I have flowers.

02:33Five of 32 slots filled.

02:3511 orange tulips.

02:36Four yellow dandelions.

02:37Two blue geraniums.

02:38And more.

02:39It won't list out every single item.

02:41As I'm sure you can imagine, having 33 lines listed in the tooltip.

02:48Can we call that the tooltip?

02:49Could get a bit excessive.

02:51So it just truncates it down to four or five, depending on how you want to count.

02:56If you want to count and more as an item.

02:59I'm assuming these are just listed off in the order.

03:05But I don't know.

03:06Is the orange tulip?

03:06Yeah, orange tulip is first.

03:07So if I put the orange tulip like way over here.

03:11No, it still lists orange tulip first.

03:13Is it listed by count?

03:15Ah, I bet it is.

03:16So let's put one orange tulip in.

03:19Ayy, that's exactly how it works.

03:21They are listed by quantity in the basket.

03:23Which I guess kind of makes sense.

03:26Well, actually, before I dig that one, because I know everybody's going to want to know if you can do this.

03:31So here we have, as you can see, a basket that has things in it.

03:39The food, the earth materials, the plant stuffs.

03:42Those I cannot put inside of another basket.

03:44But I can put empty baskets inside, as well as stacking them.

03:48So, if you were thinking, oh, I'll make one basket to store all my baskets.

03:54It only will store empty baskets.

03:56You can't put filled baskets inside of other baskets.

03:59Which, um, kind of makes sense to not completely, uh, not completely overwhelm your inventory and just give you an infinite inventory glitch.

04:12A hack.

04:13I don't think that would really be a glitch.

04:14I am curious to see what happens when one dies.

04:20I would assume the baskets would just go into your bones, as per usual.

04:24Um, but I see some liquids up ahead here.

04:27I'm assuming it's just normal water, but it looks really light.

04:30But that's probably because of the reflection and such.

04:34I should go ahead and set my home here.

04:41Alright, that way, after I perish, I will be near to where I want to be.

04:50Because if I'm not around, how am I supposed to check out my bones?

04:55Alright, so here we are.

04:57We'll just let that happen.

04:58Um, let's go back to, actually it's the first one listed right here.

05:04It is group wood.

05:05So any wooden planks.

05:07Any type of wooden planks will work.

05:08And then some string, which of course is made from two cotton.

05:11Um, or, depending on what other mods you have, there could be other recipes for string as well.

05:18Um, but yeah.

05:21Very, very inexpensive inventory agnostic system.

05:27I know some inventories, I want to say unified inventory has like a bags option.

05:31Um, but that obviously is dependent on unified inventory because that's how you actually interact with it.

05:36Whereas these are just actual nodes.

05:38Which shouldn't matter anything about changing around inventory systems or the like.

05:45And we are about to pass away here.

05:47So this is...

05:49Stealer.

05:50Okay.

05:51Um, this is not where I want to be, but that's why I set a home position.

05:55Wait, was that where I wanted to be?

05:56I guess it was.

05:57It just didn't look familiar.

05:59Alright, well let's head on out to the bones.

06:02Or, lack of bones.

06:03I don't know why this stuff didn't drop into bones.

06:06That's kind of weird.

06:08So it dropped bones, but did not place my items inside of the bones?

06:15What?

06:16I don't know what that's all about.

06:19So I'm going to have to imagine everything is still in our baskets.

06:23Flowers, food, yeah, all of our stuff is still in our baskets.

06:26So, unlike the bags mod from Unified Inventory, which persists after death and you still have

06:35everything in those bags, you do have to go back to retrieve your baskets to get your

06:39items.

06:41Uh, yeah.

06:42You can name them.

06:45And I don't know what else there is to say.

06:49I think that's pretty much it.

06:53So, we'll wrap things up here.

06:58Thanks for watching.

06:59Oh, if you want to download it, it is on the content database, so you can use the in-game

07:02content browser to find it.

07:03Or if you want to go old school, I'll have all the links on my website, which will be

07:06linked in the video description below.

07:09Thanks for watching, and I will see you next time.

07:13Are you looking for custom models to bring your mod to life?

07:16I can create static or animated meshes for your project.

07:20Or, maybe you need some help with code, textures, or voice talent.

07:23As it so happens, I'm in the freelance business.

07:26If it relates to Luanti, I'd be happy to try and help you out.

07:30Together, we can make the next great Luanti mod.
