Modifications Help Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (SOLVED)

[DoDoBirD]

Im running the above OS on my PC. It only comes with a Archive Manager to extract files. I want to get the Minecart Mod (viewtopic.php?t=2451) but Idk how to get it on my Minetest to work. I konw about the Crtl+H trick but where do I go from there? A detailed step-by-step answer would be appreciated.

According to article above the path is ~/.minetest/mods/

Put it in the mods folder and just right click the zip and go to extract here and the make the world, hit configure to add the mod and have a great day :)

None of the above responses helped. :(

How far did you get with installing to that "doesnt work" - moment?

1) Downloading the zip file from the topic
2) Unzipping the archive into your mods directory
3) Enabling the mod in your world
4) Placing a cart on the rail
5) Getting the cart to move
6) When you got here you don't have a problem

Please give us the complete error messages or problem description. More information = easier to help, simple.

Number 2, where do I save the Mods insidethe .minetest folder? DO I make a folder named Mods as I did for textures?

[DoDoBirD]

I'll make a video on it and then show you guys my problem.

It's the folde name!
Try naming the folder "mods", without any capitals!
That will work, i think that Minetest doesn't seems to recognize other folder named than "mods" (exactly that!)...
Likely the folder "textures", it shouldn't have capitals in it!

Works on Ubuntu server

unzip modfile.zip

rename the extracted file to the proper name. It's usually within brackets [ modnamehere] on forum topic of that mod
easy way to rename a file is to "sudo mv oldfilename newfilename

Then move the file to either
sudo mv modfile .minetest/mods
or
sudo mv modfile minetest/games/minetest_game/mods

If this step fails add " -r " after mv

run game then exit
then
sudo nano .minetest/worlds/world/world.mt
(unless your world has another name than world, it's the ".mt "file
and you should now see that mod at the bottom of the list set to "=false"
change false to "=true"
ctrl o to save
ctrl x to exit

THANKS SO MUCH! Now, I will be making videos with the Simple Mobs and Nether Pack Mods. Is it okay if you mention you in the video, as kinda like a thank-you?
