Material science mod

This mod adds new materials and blocks into Minetest. It's in pre-alpha stage currently.

For now, there's a screenshot of a decomposer block, which decomposes stone dust to the minerals, connected to filters from Pipeworks mod and blinky plants from Mesecons mod. Filters take items from chests and blinky plants set the timing for that, by the way. This way, stone dust from chests is decomposed to more useful things.

The idea is to give user different types of materials (often in raw, oxidized state, requiring further processing).

Currently, it can output these types of dusts:

  • silicon dioxide
  • aluminium oxide
  • rust
  • calcium oxide
  • sodium hydroxide
  • potassium hydroxide
  • magnesium oxide
  • phosphorus
  • carbon
  • sulfur
  • chromium
  • zinc
  • copper
  • lead
  • tin
  • uranium
  • silver
  • gold

These elements are sorted by distribution in Earth's crust, your chance to get gold is far lower than your chance to get silicon.

Any advices about blocks using new elements (or old, too) are welcome. For instance, I want to add phosphorus with its temporary glow and phosphorus-doped glass with the same properties.
