The water reward is destructive

[kneekoo]

While working on expanding my platform and grass, I avoided covering the dirt with anything, so I can get more flowers and grasses. As a result, I used the "quest block" to place stuff around it. On top, I placed my chest with rewards and other items. Once I completed the quest rewarding water, my chest was replaced with a water source block, thus losing the chest with everything inside. 🤦‍♂️

The little luck I can claim about this situation is that:

• I didn't lose any vegetation on my lawn when the water covered most of my island
• it warned me that if lava is also rewarded like that, things can get a lot worse

Please consider exclusively adding the rewards in the reward slots. That way you don't have to check if the user placed stuff where the reward would be placed in the world to avoid loss. Alternatively, you could either disallow the placement of items above the quest block, or at least warn us that placing anything on top can lead to losing that block. Anyway, since I'm new to this modpack I don't know if there are other positions around the quest block that get replace with rewards. So now I have to be extra cautious.

hello @kneekoo , thank you for creating issues. They do seem like valid problems.

I have not worked on minetest for many years, and this project is now very old and far back in my memory. If you'd like to do some PRs i'd be happy to review and accept them.

Thanks for your reply. I haven't done much with Minetest other than a tiny mod, so I'm not sure I can help. But I'm glad you're open for contributions. Hopefully someone with both the knowledge and willingness to polish the rough edges will turn up. :) It's a nice game, worth having around.
