Loot Block Spawner (Minetest Mod)

This script defines a special unbreakable block (ctf_map:loot_block) that periodically spawns random loot when players are nearby.

---

📦 Features

• Unbreakable Loot Block

  • Cannot be dug, destroyed, or obtained in creative inventory.
  • Always remains in place as a loot source.
  • Uses a yellow-tinted chest texture for visibility.

• Automatic Loot Spawning

  • Every 15 seconds, if a player is within 5 nodes radius, the block may drop an item.
  • Items are spawned just above the block.
  • Loot is limited: a maximum of 10 dropped items can exist near the block at the same time.

• Configurable Loot Table
  The loot table contains weapons, resources, and traps with different chances of appearing:

  • Steel, mese, or diamond swords (rare)
  • Diamonds, mese crystals, cobblestone
  • Blueberries (healing items)
  • Special blocks (spike, landmine, damage cobble)
  • Wind charges

• Game Mode Filters
  Loot depends on the current game mode:

  • classes mode → No weapons will spawn.
  • nade_fight mode → Only steel and mese swords are allowed (diamond swords excluded).

I was looking for ctf_map:loot_block on your map, but couldn't find it... Where did you place them?

There's another issue: A lot of the void. What if we placed a small central island with a few ctf_map:loot_blocks? Players could fiercely fight for control of this key point to secure loot - turning it into a strategic hotspot.
You could apply the same idea to the two empty copy-cat structures. Fill them with loot a bit.

I’d say overall the map is quite simple; it lacks architectural variety and strategic depth

I added islands between teams and an island in the center, I increased the chests from 60 to 70 in the bases, +10 per island between teams and 20 on the center island. I fixed the stairs in the bases, I added fire on the braziers. I added trees in the center as well as a loot block generator. I fixed the loot block mod to prevent items from spawning in the wrong mods (diamond sword in nades) and swords in classes.

Overall, I like the idea of having loot spawners.
But I dislike how the floor is just kill nodes.
My suggestions:
Connect team islands to the central island with diagonal bridges, so it becomes a hot spot where enemies meet. Otherwise, whoever conquers this island first makes it unreachable for others. Secondly, snipers won't let others build bridges if there isn't a single bridge. (experience from sniper arena)
And instead of kill nodes, make a big ocean. But the only escape from the ocean is the central island. Make it so players can't build towers under their base.

I think that instead of ABM, you could use node timer for periodic item spawning with a chance.
