Minetest Forums

For those running into issues fetching the backups, I believe these became inaccessible once the VPS lapsed. As such, they are no longer retrievable from their original locations. I have a copy, but I am uncertain how to share such a large file as it's approximately 10 gigabytes. I know a few others...

I was saddened to hear about the loss of Linuxgaming2. This was my ancestral home on minetest, my first real introduction to minetest multiplayer mode. I had years of enjoyment on this sever and even introduced my fiancee to minetest on this server. I will definitely miss being there. This has inspi...

Greetings, Thank you for removing the travelnet LazyJ. Urbanvale is looking better than ever. I think that going forward StormFox and I are going to have to be more proactive with our protections in terms of setting them up sooner. I've already done this with a maze build that I'm working on off of ...

Greetings, There's still more griefing occurring on the server. This time Disney Center was hit by a build by Rielskie. He built a fairly large, in my opinion ugly building in front of one of the displays not far from the travel net. Storm doesn't think that this was a deliberate attempt to grief. A...

I've finished another one of my proof of concept builds. Before I get to it though, I'll reveal how I managed to build down from the sky island with only the default privs. First, I started from a free island that was previously built. Then, along the edge of the island, I placed some ice that I lat...

Greetings, I was working on Fairhaven. It was a project I started several years ago that was going to be a city in the sky. LazyJ posted a lot of great ideas for the area, and I reread them recently and got a few more of my own to throw into the mix. However he mentioned one thing in his post that i...

With the fixing of Urbanvale largely underway, it's time to collect some build ideas in one place that I hope to get to. If anyone else wants to use or build off of these ideas however, please feel free to do so. I won't mind :-) Fairhaven - The floating town at the top of the world Add more floatin...

Greetings, Back again after a long hiatus. Too long I guess. I noticed that Urbanvale once again got hit by griefers. There's still some work to be done, but I believe StormFox and I have fixed most of it as it wasn't quite as bad as in times past. Can you make any recommendations about how we might...

A-frames are somewhat popular here. You see them when driving in similarly quiet areas. One went up not far from where my parents used to live just a couple of years ago. A lot of buildings in my neighborhood all look similar too. They went up during the depression in a lot of cases so they were pro...

Now that is different! Literally thinking outside of the (typical) box (build). Reminds me of A-frame houses that were trendy back in the 80's. Another out-of-the-ordinary and extreme house style. Some examples: https://wowowhome.com/architecture/black-a-frame-house-renovation-and-extension-by-dmva...

Built a pentagon, that's all I wanted to say.

So, I saw this today...



Thought it was a really impressive work by racklinc. Also looks really cool. Has anybody else seen this on the server yet? It's at -185, -917. Take a look if you haven't already.

Greetings again, Thanks for your help LazyJ. StormFox and I (mostly StormFox) have been working on repairing the vandalism in Urbanvale and it's looking great. However we can't protect the visitor information center because of the travelnet. Is there any way you could protect the building and then t...

Greetings, I really hate to be the one to bring this up however there seems to be an awful lot of griefing on the server lately. Urbanvale has been severely damaged by griefers, but there has also been griefing done on the surrounding area, as well as at the opposite end of the highway near Wild Wes...

That's slowly starting to change. StormFox and I are building a city in the sky. But not just any old location in the sky. It's at the top of the world. The elevator there is carefully hidden in Urbanvale. Anyone who can find it is welcome to visit us. It's currently the only elevator that goes to t...

Something I've noticed about connecting to the server. If your internet uses IPv6 to try to connect to the minetest server, the connection fails. It doesn't help that linuxgaming2.com has an AAAA DNS entry. You can connect by manually entering the IPv4 address of the server. I'm not sure if the mine...

We have another announcement. We've introduced another mod. The nether mod. At levels below approximately -27000, you can enter the nether. You can dig your way down, or you can craft a nether portal similar to the way you do in Minecraft. For those of you not familiar how, you craft the portal by b...

It's been a while since we've said anything, but I promise we aren't done yet. Maybe just resting a bit :-) Anyhow, we have a contest to announce. StormFox and I spent the better part of an afternoon building a maze. The maze can be found in our newest named community, Petrograd. There is a travelne...

Hmm, I've looked into this mod. I have concerns it could lag things even more than they already are though. What would you plan to do with the mod if it was installed?

Greetings everyone, There is a new building in Winter Ridge (Spawn) made of silver sandstone bricks. If anybody can think of a use for this building we'd be grateful. Thank you. Also, Xio has set up a travelnet teleporter in Winter Ridge. His Mine 2 location would be perfect for anybody looking to b...

Greetings everybody. There has been a change made to the server. The currency mod has been removed and the money mod has been added. This was done so that admin shops could be introduced and to avoid admin running shops which sell basics such as dyes from filling to capacity or selling out of invent...

Chem871 wrote:My mod request is the real_chess mod. :P

This has been added. Enjoy. Note that the admins may be available for games at times.

Greetings Qbiq. Sorry about the delay in responding. I like to save these sorts of projects for a day off. The recipe conflict has been fixed with a change to mesecons. It now takes one stone and one cobblestone to craft a pressure plate. This should not conflict with any existing recipes. The water...

I can try to reset your password. Which username do you have?

Note: Mobs were added to the game via mobs_redo on September 14. All peaceful mobs and a few hostile mobs (dungeon masters, lava flans, and spiders) are enabled. If anyone wants to see more survival like elements added to the game, please feel free to let us known on here or via minetest. In other n...
