Re: Minetest in Steam Deck
Tbh, with a form factor like it has, I would have expected something more Gnomelike than KDE like. But then again, I've never held these newer handhelds, so I can't speak to the UX. It's not about Gnome or Kde. It's not even about Linux. It's a device to run a customized version of Steam on to play...

Re: Minetest Blog
Considering c55 started the Minetest project on his own and the project did well from there, I don't think you always need to find the people first... :P
Good luck with the project MisterE

Re: Importing coarse terrain information from Dwarf Fortress
Interesting idea, the scale of the implementation will certainly make for a different experience. I don't know much about Dwarf Fortress, is it theoretically possible to decouple this mapgen from Dwarf Fortress or not?

Re: A useful take on web-documentation for Minetest
To my experience, they are afraid of the highly effective command line too. (I do not want to offend anybody, this is just how things are.) Let me correct that misconception: Nobody wants to learn a complicated tool (command line) when they already have grown up using a much simpler, adequate, lowe...

This is the kind of thing that Minetest really needs and will benefit from. Thanks for putting the time in and organizing this GreenZenith et. all

Re: Why should anyone become involved in minetest?
First off, I agree with all your points about the benefits of the current set up. But they are entirely unrelated to the point I'm making. Let me contextualize my perspective. I appreciate Minetest. Minetest needs user growth and exposure to stop it from stagnating. The Minetest community needs to m...

Re: Why should anyone become involved in minetest?
The forums aren't representative, as they're an outdated medium and also had terrible performance issues last year. It's better to look at the Discord, the Matrix, Reddit, and online servers I am extremely concerned the Minetest community is getting split (or it already happened, apparently), and w...

There's basically no point in trying to integrate Antarctica at this point. Hecks has already deleted a huge portion of Irrlicht and plans on continuing. I'm deleting the GUI. Even if hecks disappeared forever today, I believe that the trend will continue to move towards deleting Irrlicht completel...

I dont like this change. you are taking away features and putting them behind micro transactions . its morally incorrect Did you even read the thread lol?

Re: When MTG dropped?
as its a great starting point. Except it isn't. I agree to disagree then. I think it has a minimum amount of items for either a creative start building or modding. And not forcing unneeded bloat from other games is a good thing. Edit: Maybe "great" was overdoing it a bit, but its still go...

Re: When MTG dropped?
The less you engage the troll, the better.
And imo Minetest Game should be bundled with the engine, as its a great starting point. But maybe don't keep it as the launch preset game.

Re: What happens this year with Minetez? (Mistery)
Minetest is too middling of a game to be the main focus for a large amount of people who want to play sandbox style games. For me, Minetest is cathartic, not so much fun. There are at least 5 other games I have that rank higher than it for fun that I'd prefer to play. Minetest is a great project for...

Re: Mod idea: Charred wood building materials
This is probably one of the easier mods to make. I'd suggest looking into Rubenwardy's book, as this covers probably most of what you'd want to do:
