Since this misinformation keeps popping up I will correct it again: Yes, the server list measures the ping only from its own location and also uses it for ranking. However, having a server in a far away place will NOT cause it to be de-ranked . Ping times under 400ms do not influence the rank and 40...

For copying you can do this using //stack2 (with count=1).
For moving this is not (yet) supported.

That depends on the game and mods you are running.
As far as I know there are currently no duplication glitches in the engine itself or unmodded Minetest Game (perhaps with the exception if players have the ability to crash the server at will).

LuaJIT has a limitation in deserializing large inputs, WorldEdit has a workaround for this in place but it only works for reference-less variants.

If you want something more robust you can use the old, simple format (text) or better MTS schematics (binary) as supported by the engine.

Today is probably the last day you can test and report issues for 5.6.0. Here are two fresh Windows builds from the Gitlab pipeline: https://github.com/sfan5/minetest/files/9227733/minetest-5.6.0-a87111588-win32.zip https://github.com/sfan5/minetest/files/9227734/minetest-5.6.0-a87111588-win64.zip

I see there is a workaround for NetBSD there, maybe the one you're using needs it too.

I delete old files once in a while and don't keep any archives.

It kinda falls short of mentioning the engine aspect (which admittedly the engine itself doesn't do a good job of), but more exposure is always good.

Do you have any details (error messages, crash logs, ...) on what doesn't work? Ubuntu ships a package for arm64 (albeit outdated) and I bet it works.

Alternatively compiling from source with these instructions should always work: https://github.com/minetest/minetest#co ... n-gnulinux

I have unpinned the topic, if anyone wants to write up-to-date advice we can put there instead that'd be nice and contact any of the forum moderators when you're done.

Feel free to fork it, I don't plan on maintaining this anymore.

Although Docker shouldn't pose a problem I can suggest trying without it. Alternatively there's also the official Docker image (not sure how well this is tested).
Which version were you running, by the way?

You mean 5.6.0, right? There's no 6.0 version of Minetest.
There haven't been any significant changes that could cause this and I even uploaded yesterday's build to virtustotal.com and it came back clean.
