a new shop has opened in Emporium: https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=8087&sid=73bf26dedc3e5ebd865753d8406f7c2c it's the "Lost and Forgotten" Shop you can pay only with gold ingots, but prices are fair, just like my old shop in Sol Sanctum =(^.^)=

awesome server tenplus1! my kids and i just started playing today. all the difference biomes are very cool! i have one question.. it seems i can only have maximum 3 players created from my IP address? I have 3 kids and myself is four players. is there a way to increase that? Or is there a way to ju...

great xD thanks Yoshi =(^.^)= your soundcloud link allowed me to finally find a lost music track that i was searching for a long time. a long time ago it was up for discussion to be added to the Battle for Wesnoth, but was not used eventually. then i lost it and never found it again... ...until toda...

We're currently building Beggar's Bay, area for new players to build their first home. (snip)

Hmm, I thought new players were not allowed to join the Xanadu server. Has that limitation been lifted? O_o

there's only one way to find it out ;)

since i flooded the chat with building advice today, i thought i just share this link here so i don't need to write so much again :P The 5 B's of Building https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaZg7_F0_Co and How to NOT build :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUzggMjVze8 that Grian guy also has more tuto...

license question:

if i use a mod or parts of a mod in my subgame,
but i edit/change the mod content, what do i write into the "license.txt"?

ok, i went to the server to test it and some things are not right: 1. the description says "or have fun building". if there is no safe zone, don't encourage people to build. 2. there were only 3 users online and they were all inside the spawn place. while i was reading the signs i got kill...

And how do I make a biome rare? by giving it very low or high parameters. heat=50 is much more common than 0 or 100 ;) a 50-50 biome will probably be the most common, with 100-50, 0-50, 50-100 and 50-0 in second. putting values like 100-100, 0-0, 100-0 and 0-100 will make it rarer than the others. ...

i guess this is just a community problem. people always come to servers where they don't get what they want so they can ask for it :P here are some things to consider: - some people don't read descriptions and rules - some people don't do anything ingame except playing "friends", which mea...

we have an "underwater pirate hideout" and the "Shrine of the Sea God"

we still need someone to build a giant banana house :P

(or pirate ships)

Getting a grey page that stays there endlessly with no errors on the console regarding connection issues...

Hi, I was wondering why the world size is 62000? Why this number? Is it possible to change it? Is it hardcoded or is there some kind of limit? I think what map size much more than you wrote.For example i longly dug under land and i dug possible 100000 blocks! press F5 to display debug info and see ...

leaf decay has been changed some time ago, maybe this game wasn't updated in a long time so some things are not working anymore.

Christmas Village is now open and is welcoming new builders! Thanks to everyone who helped to make this happen. You can find portal to the village at start of white path from spawn. yay~ https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=7027&sid=6abf29d719b86e229a1be9159c13f683 merr...

Interesting topic... Is it possible to have different races in minetest? Clans? Each has own skin per clan for playesr and buildings? Lord of the Test has a race system. in the beginning you choose if you want to be a human, elf, dwarf or orc and then you get the specific player model. also there w...

Will you change the world generator? the biome API supports mapgen v5, v7 and valleys. that's 3 worlds to choose from ;) v7 is the standard mapgen with a mix of normal and interesting terrain. valleys makes realistic terrain with rivers. (and river water) v5 makes crazy unrealistic terrain :P caves...

the next morning, the Fox wandered around to discover his new world. he climbed a mountain, crossed an ocean, wandered through a valley and swam in a river. then he got bored. "all is of the same shade of grey..." then he got a brilliant idea. "ninja kittens, hand me the Paint Brush....

1. What's the difference between: multicraft2, minetest, pixelcraft, freeminer (all android apps created by freeminer user account). minetest is an open-source voxel game engine. by default it comes with minetest_game, which is very minimal. freeminer is a clone of minetest with extra functions to ...

I need a IDE with auto-completion that could be complicated... i know something like this exists for html and similar languages, but Lua is different. i don't know Lua either, but i know that the engine is written in C and uses a Lua based API to add game content. i guess an auto-completion method ...

i have no idea what eclipse is, but to run a subgame you just need to move it to the "games" folder inside the "minetest" folder in your home directory. then the game appears on the bottom of the menu screen in minetest. to make a new subgame you just need any text editor. copyin...
