Some nodes in coderblocks are redundant and should use aliases instead.

[Poikilos]

The coderblocks mod defines nodes when a mod isn't present, but sometimes there is an alternative mod, so an alias to that should be used instead.

Removing duplicates will allow recipes to work better, either when the item is an ingredient or a result. Otherwise, players have gotten frustrated that they either:

• have an identical ingredient or one with a slightly different name or texture and can't make an item.
• want to make one item but it doesn't have a recipe or they only have ingredients for a similar one that doesn't have as good of a graphic

The issue can be fixed using the following first parameter for minetest.register_alias, conditionally (whatever direction the aliasing goes is not important.):

• [x] (resolved in bucket_game-211114a) coderblocks:lmb_glowstone
• [ ] coderblocks:glowstone (perhaps use nether:glowstone instead if present?)
• [ ] nether:block is just a copy of nether:glowstone and nether:block isn't in the upstream nether mod.
• [x] (resolved in bucket_game-211114a) coderblocks:glowstone is correct (rendered as a cube node in inventory) and coderblocks:lmb_glowstone is a flat square in inventory (needs inventory image setting matched to coderblocks:glowstone's setting)
• [x] (resolved as invalid: This point is invalid, these have separate functions; the Bucket_Game 211101c behavior is same as upstream) coderblocks:fake_fire, fire:permanent_flame or if present (not in Bucket_Game): , fake_fire:fake_fire the following issue must be fixed first, or worlds will burn (!) requires:
  • [x] #487 (invalid)
  • [x] (resolved in bucket_game 211111) fixed (re-added) but hidden from creative inventory
• [ ] Other coderblocks haven't been reviewed yet.

The following have been reviewed but are separate issues:

• [x] #445 ropes or recipes requiring rope should require any group:vines instead
• [x] #477 castles shouldn't redefine ropes items if ropes mod is present
• [ ] #453 reduce redundant animal-related craftitems or differentiate the graphic and caption in other cases

Unified Foods is aggressive about which objects get to be master versions. Its objects do. The mod defines a large number of foods and intentionally merges external food mods into its own nutritious menu. There is little choice about this except for special cases because the MT food system is chaotic otherwise.

CoderBlocks is less aggressive. However, it has similar elements. . . . It's possible that it's time to merge "nether" per se, the entire mod, into Bucket Game. This would address the "nether:glowstone" issue completely. . . . Actually, a total of 8 glowstones are now converted or aliased to the one node. Including "nether:glowstone", which was force-converted in the latest snapshot but will now be aliased instead.
