Ah I must have misread "entirely in client-side Lua", I thought you meant no server Lua API, but little client-side C++ makes more sense

I disagree with making it client-side only, in the long run. I think that having an API to show GUIs from the server without sending Lua code is very useful. This can come later though, ofc So we need SSCSM whitelists in our clients now like we have in our browsers? Otherwise servers can do whatever...

Thank you !! I'm so happy : Automatic updates ! Waw ! But I don't see MAC app (for creating home server). Is there a link or planning or trick to complilate this one ? When I make a BREW command, it remains to 5.3.0. version (I'm on MACOS 11.13.6.) Thank you again ! Homebrew should be updated now. ...

To be clear, you can set a transparent background (alpha=0) to hide the nametag background for your mob. So: initial_properties = { nametag_bgcolor = "#00000000", } or self.object:set_nametag_attributes({ text = "example", bgcolor = "#00000000", }) show_nametag_backgrou...

It's useful for contrast and accessibility.

You can either change show_nametags_background in the minetest settings, or set a background for your mob using the nametag attributes API

The old german translations was better! Please translate back

You can translate Minetest here: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/minetest/minetest/

One thing you can do is have a node registration and a tool registration. Tool registrations aren't limited, only node registrations. You can override on_place to place a node from a tool, and drops to drop a tool. This will be seamless

Doors in the door mod in MTG does this

Debian is an intentionally outdated distro, so yes, you'll need to get Minetest in other ways

They're an active object Id. They change when the object is unloaded and loaded. The same object may use different IDs, and different objects may use the same ID at different times. It's better to just use an objectref for the same purpose as the active object Id, and find other ways of indexing ent...

You can place subfolders in any media path to organise media, and minetest will load from them. A media path is a mod's media folder (textures/models/sounds) or a texture pack. For one level deep this already works for texture packs … But now I can have ./mods/my_cool_mod/textures/cool_things/of_ty...

What does “Load media from subfolders” mean? You can place subfolders in any media path to organise media, and minetest will load from them. A media path is a mod's media folder (textures/models/sounds) or a texture pack. I believe the root of the texture pack takes priority, meaning that you can s...

Sounds pernicious. Something like that ought to be pulled out and rewritten so it doesn't affect the rest of the code. Making it an option is fine if the devs want to do the work to support it, but leaving busted legacy code in place, bugs and all, just to support a silly feature like that seems wr...

The first and second are exactly the same Not quite true. The first copies the variables, while the second has upvalues. Therefore, the second will reflect any changes to the variables, while the first will only show what the variables were like at the point of calling minetest.after . They're both...

Hi, when you play offline in singleplayer, Minetest still needs a server. It creates a local server that only you can connect to, and then your client joins as singleplayer. This makes the code much much easier to write and maintain This creating server message is usually due to mods taking a while ...

local pos = {x=1,y=2,z=3} local str = "hello world" minetest.after(3.5, function(pos, str) print("3.5 seconds later, we can do " .. str .. " at " .. minetest.pos_to_string(pos)) end, pos, str) This is a weird way of writing it, don't do this. You're shadowing variables...

Hi, is it possible to put the data to grafana? I am also interested in getting data from minetest serverslist but I also want to save the list of playernames to make correlation.

I would like to see some kind of FAQ topic about at least v7 mapgen, about basic stuff with basic questions, like: + how to shift terrain down/up? (changing water level) + how to stretch terrain horizontally/vertically? + how to make single biome world? + how to make biomes bigger/smaller? + how to...

I think I found a bug with the entity nametag: This is a new future called "Semi-transparent background for nametags" by Zughy. There will probably be a nametag attribute to customise the background color in the future. If you have any complaints about this, please open an issue or post t...

release: Ignore this: Should only ever be set by ContentDB, as it is an internal ID used to track versions.

That's already been fixed. It did also happen only under specific circumstances

The issues in known issues are all the things that are blocking the release. We list them to avoid double reports not because we don't intend to fix them before releasing

Hi, the problem is ý in your name. This will be fixed in Minetest 5.4.0 which will release in a few days. In the meantime, you could move minetest to C:\Minetest or a USB drive
