How to install a texture pack

by celeron55 » Mon Apr 09, 2012 00:22

Minetest 0.4.8 (or later than 2013-08-04):

Put the texture pack folder in
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
<minetest directory>/textures/


So that <minetest directory>/textures/ with it's contents looks like this (example packs "HDX" and "Misa"):
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
textures/
├── HDX/
│ ├── info.txt
│ ├── screenshot.png
│ ├── default_wood.png
│ └── ...
└── Misa/
  ├── info.txt
  ├── screenshot.png
  ├── default_brick.png
  └── ...


Minetest 0.4.dev-20120408, 0.4.0 and later:

Put the textures without subfolders in
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
<minetest directory>/textures/all/


So that you have them like so:

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
<minetest directory>/textures/all/default_grass.png
<minetest directory>/textures/all/fire_basic_flame.png


For installed Linux versions, <minetest directory> is ~/.minetest

Every Minetest version

Put the textures without subfolders in any place you like, and add this configuration setting, with the proper path, in minetest.conf:
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
texture_path = C:\path\to\texture\directory

However, keep in mind that 0.4 wants paths with the modname_ prefixes, while 0.3 cannot understand them.

More info

Some texture packs assume you will copy just everything over the original files. In such cases, you can either do that, or just copy them from the subfolders into either of the above places.
