Just submit a patch to make mithril items maxlevel 2, that seems entirely reasonable.
Tin and Silver can stay weak, though.
At maxlevel 2, a mithril pick still can't break a diamond block while mese and diamond picks can because they have a maxlevel of 3 (except the diamond pickaxe, maxlevel 2, but I think it's a mistake in mt_game). Furthermore, mithril tools are slightly slower than mese and diamond on blocks they can break. I think I don't understand the purpose of mithril. Have slow, soft hitting but more durable tools ?
It should teach players that tools made of ores harder to obtain aren't necessarily better tools. You also can't make a pick 9 times faster than diamond pick by using diamond blocks for crafting.
@mgl512 looks ok, submit PR?
Done. Thought you would have an option to merge the referenced commit without a new pull request.
The mithril pickaxe can't dig metal blocks, mese blocks, diamond blocks, obsidian because of its maxlevel 1. Generally, the maxlevel of the tools from moreores should be reviewed in comparison to the ones of the actual minetest_game if a new version is to be released. Metal tools have a maxlevel of 2 and mese and diamond 3. Everything in moreores has a maxlevel of 1.
