Re: Minetest 0.4.9 works fine. 0.4.10 is laggy and jittery
I tested the current master (commit e5b4748bb4 (commit e5b4748bb44a12fd09a92f7d36986b4bda86e6bf)). This seems to work fine (approx 1 hour playtime with reduced, eg. playable lag/jitter). The Server lag reduced from 30-40 seconds (minetest 0.4.10) to 3-5 seconds (commit above). Currently I migrate fr...

Re: Minetest 0.4.9 works fine. 0.4.10 is laggy and jittery
I switched yesterday from 0.4.9 to 0.4.10. (Client and Server) I updated all my mods to current stable/released versions. Also I edited the hell out of minetest.conf (Server and Client). But 0.4.10 is even with ONLY ONE PLAYER unplayable! I do not want to revert to 0.4.9, so: WHICH CURRENT VERSION O...

LuaJIT
Are there any efforts in evaluating possible gains by using LuaJIT instead of Lua within Minetest? Please correct me, but I think LuaJIT is still only a 32 bit library, so Minetest would be limited to 32 bit builds. Anyhow, a somewhat hacky way to build Minetest with LuaJIT (precompiled static lib) ...

restrict mod to special users
Hi everyone!
Is there a way to restrict some mod, lets say nuke to only some users, like the server admin?
For example with some addition to the grant command:
