Meshes

If drawtype `mesh` is used, tiles should hold model materials textures.
Only static meshes are implemented.
For supported model formats see Irrlicht engine documentation.
Rooted plantlike drawtype
-------------------------
The `plantlike_rooted` drawtype was developed to enable underwater plants
without air bubbles around the plants.
It consists of a base cube at the co-ordinates of the node (the seabed /
lakebed / riverbed node) plus a 'plantlike' extension above with a height
defined by param2 (maximum height 16 nodes). This extension visually passes
through any nodes above the base cube without affecting them.
The node is dug by digging the base cube.
The base cube texture tiles are defined as normal, the plantlike extension
uses the defined 'special tile', for example:
`special_tiles = {{name = "default_papyrus.png", tileable_vertical = true}},`
