Celeron55 recently wrote on IRC that migrating from IRC is 'unthinkable', so the decision has been made.

Does he even participate in minetest in any way or form? I think it is just his opinion.

IRC is cool, but I see appeal of matrix(or whatever it is analog of discord)/discord(tho better not depend on it), not gonna lie, it is easy to use, has features like displaying/hosting images/files, emojis, voice, yada-yada, it is like modern IRC (bloated yeah). We can't pretend like we are in 90-2...

LazyJ stop being Lazy and update LinuxGaming

I disagree with design in this topic, it has potential to be confusing and complex, feels like current design we have already is good enough, but what I've suggested long ago was showcasing Content DB by merging it with Addons tab (and doing slight rework).

Update to 5.1, when?

Wuzzy saved saves the day, thank you!

What's LoS?

More info is needed.

By making it better, by doing good balanced default game with an engine.

And Minetest is competition to Minecraft.

Unlikely, i'm not worried.

Congrats!

I would rather see breakthroughs in actual gameplay in minetest game and final rename of engine/game.

This issue deserves a lot of attention, I've seen many times those strange OOMs with modpacks that somehow reported very little memory usage.

Before switching engines you have to ask yourself: Is it worth it? And how Irrlicht holding you back with minetest, is it a serious problem?

Small community

38 pages long topic, so answer is simple: A lot. Minecraft is a kitchen sink. Don't fight bloat with bloat.

What's your avg backup size?

Minetest 5.0 win64 build has Luajit with gc64 support, apparently, that means much less OOMs (can use >1GB of mem). Will see how it goes...

Try this GC64 build that avoids memory problems: https://kitsunemimi.pw/tmp/minetest-0.4 ... 4-win64.7z

Or use minetest with regular lua, by default minetest uses luajit that can only use 1gb of RAM.

Minetest Game does not even have mobs... yet
