Use mc texture packs in minetest

[Hybrid Dog]

it works on linux

1. open a terminal window
2. $ cd to the place where you want to have it (usually a new folder in ~/.minetest/textures/)
3. put the mc texture pack there and name it "mctp" that the texture folders can be found at ./mctp/assets/minecraft/textures
4. run this command to automatically make links to the textures

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

$ curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HybridDog/miscellaneous/master/txt/make_links.sh | bash

If you want to switch the texture pack, just put another one as mctp folder there, the files don't need to be relinked.

sounds interesting? does that work with every MC tp? and on every Linux ditribution?

ldk exactly for which mc texture pack it works. The old ones (<=1.5 l think) had the textures put in one file, there are converters for them and linking doesn't work for them of course.
As far as l know this script works for every Linux distribution, but the commented out trash command would need the trash-cli package l think.
l really like the possibility of making minetest use what links direct to, it is possible to add a music player which allows you to select any ogg file from disk and the file is played in minetest (dynamically loading sounds works using the testsounds folder). BTW: if minetest would support ogg opus sound files… they're a lot smaller.
