sfence/aotearoa

Updated fork of the original Aotearoa mod for Minetest v5.5.1

Aotearoa REDO

Original mod created by Dokimi, updated for Minetest v5.5.1 by Josselin2.

As of 20 June 2022, the original version of this mod produces a number of annoying errors/warnings on Minetest v5.5.1. I have updated the code to fix them.

All changes are preceded by '@@@ Josselin2':

Te Kore Whakapapa:

The Geneaology of Creation:

I te timatanga Te Kore. Te Kore. Te Kore-te-whiwhia. Te Kore-te-rawea. Te Kore-i-ai. Te Kore-te-wiwia.

Te Kore Te Po. Te Po-nui. Te Po-roa. Te Po-uriuri. Te Po-kerekere. Te Po-tiwhatiwha. Te Po-te-kitea. Te Po-tangotango. Te Po-whawha. Te Po-namunamu-ki-taiao. Te Po-tahuri-atu. Te Po-tahuri-mai-ki-taiao.

Te Whai-ao. Te Ao-marama. Tihei mauri-ora.

In the beginning was the Void. The Void. The Void in which nothing is possessed. The Void in which nothing is felt. The Void with nothing in union. The Void without boundaries.

From the void the Night. The great Night. The long Night. The deep Night. The intense Night. The dark Night. The Night in which nothing is seen. The intensely dark Night. The Night of feeling. The Night of seeking the passage to the world. The Night of restless turning. The Night of turning towards the revealed world.

The glimmer of dawn. The bright light of day. There is life.
