Minetest Forums

The Warehouse Mod This is a fast, reliable and completely automated storage mod. It doesn't use minetest inventories for storing items and automatically distributes the items to slots of different sizes to accomplish optimale utilization. So the users don't have to care where the items are stored. ...

I don't think it makes sense to force people to use a specific platform. They all have their pros and cons. In my opinion it is way more important to keep everyone on the same page regarding any subject. For this it is important to not split the discussion subjects to different platforms without any...

This seems to be a very detailed guide, well done.

For people who need such a thing it may be helpful if it gets added or linked at the wiki, so that it is easier to find.
e.g. here https://wiki.minetest.net/Setting_up_a_server or here https://wiki.minetest.net/Setting_up_a_server/Debian

Speaking of content - what do you guys recommend me to take a look at? There has happened a lot in the past 10 years, but the classical mods like moreores, moreblocks, darkage, mesecons ... are still being used. Something to look at would be for example digtron , glitch or techage . Also I suggest ...

The reason why many mods are low quality is because people are making them for fun. Providing an incentive to make mods will significantly increase the quality of mods. This is absolutely wrong. Making something just for fun has nothing to do with the quality. Even if you throw money at the develop...

I see, you need this for an item transportation mod. Sadly, using a fake player for this will never be completely secure in all cases. The best would probably be to manually specify it for every node. Also there may be some cases where you don't want inventory actions to be automatable even though t...

Just because a step in production adds little value or takes little effort, that doesn't make it a scam. It's more of a laziness tax. Good point, but you could say the same about Minetest inside the Microsoft store. An easy (and expensive) install for lazy people? "Pre-chopped pre-packaged cho...

example : I buy a cheap usb empty stick, then I copy minetest on it and sell this usb stick 50% more expensive (with a free gift) have fun. the plus price is as of my hard work to copy ! I don't think this makes much sense with minetest, but with Linux distros this is actually a common thing. Just ...

Debundling MTG is obviously not the silver bullet that will magically make Minetest into a sensation overnight, but it is a step in the right direction. What is even the "right direction" for Minetest? I feel like this is the main problem here. With the current goal to reinforce Minetest'...

I activated a lot of mods but dont use them all. I just want to get rid of the unused mods. /mods lists all activated mods. If I deactivate a mod I have to look around for "unknown blocks" to check if this mod has been used. The concept of "unused" mod makes no sense. Either a m...

Please state your problem and provide an error message. (and try to fix it yourself) Also just copying the code instead of a screenshot would make it much more readable. btw line 28 looks suspicions and line 24 an itemstack is not an itemname and line 30 there is a semicolon (this is lua not C++) Yo...

You can write /mods in the ingame chat, to see all mods.
Or look into the world.mt file inside your world folder.

If your mods can't be activated, you're probably missing some dependencies or you haven't put the mods into the mods folder.

If you have installed animalia and no other mod causes this problem, it may be fixed with this:
https://github.com/ElCeejo/animalia/pull/63

You could implement the interleave mechanism on your own in lua, but it would probably still be slow. I suggest to just not use ABMs, they are generally slow, especially if you use a lot of them. The applicability depends on what exactly you want to do, but here is an alternative. globalstep + LBM (...

Maybe Async environment or HTTP Requests is what you want. (You could also directly fetch the data from the map database.)

Here is an example for interaction with a web service. (in both directions)

The just use minetest.register_on_chat_message() It would look like this: local hide_names = {} -- the changed names are stored here (not saved after game restart) minetest.register_chatcommand(rename_myself, { params = "<new_name>", description = "rename yourself", privs = {}, f...

What exactly do you mean by nickname?

Do you just want to change the nametag and/or chat name appearance?

Do you want to change the actual playername or emulate being another player?

Thanks very much to everyone for the great suggestions! It turns out after much testing that the sole cause of the problems is the "Animalia" mod: https://github.com/ElCeejo/animalia and / or it's dependency, "Creatura": https://github.com/ElCeejo/creatura When these are disable...

Thanks cx384. Where would I enter/implement the debug code? I'm on Windows in singleplayer. I'm not sure, I don't use Windows. You can probably start minetest in a terminal somehow. Or use minetest.chat_send_all() instead of print, or write the output into a file with lua. You can enter/implement t...

This is a problem with the item's mod_origin . If it can't be determined, it is set to "??" and unified inventory uses this. https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/b0d5cedeb6039f0a9dafbec0d7ac6e566049af35/doc/lua_api.md?plain=1#L9194 https://github.com/minetest-mods/unified_inventory/bl...

Yes there is a way. e.g for node inventories: (For player inventories you would use minetest.register_allow_player_inventory_action ) allow_metadata_inventory_take = function(pos, listname, index, stack, player) if listname == "main" then local meta = minetest.get_meta(pos) local inv = met...

Maybe your network is just slow.
It would be helpful if you provide more information.
How exactly did you measure the performance? Can you provide any numbers?
How does your setup look like? (hardware, version, luajit, database, settings, ...)

PSA: Please do not run fishy third-party binaries someone dumped on GitHub (or elsewhere). This repository looks extraordinarily suspicious, with just some huge blobs, and not a single line of source code or meaningful source code history. Hmm, I wonder what 'PSA' could stand for... P ounds per s q...

Toolranks but you can level up your bare hands too. In fact, make it so that through arduous training you can break any kind of material by punching or digging lower tiers of it enough times.

It sounds useful so I just made such a mod.

Handranks A mod that makes your hand rank up when you use it to dig nodes, and it even can dig nodes which are normally not digable by a bare hand, like stone. A higher rank increases the hand's digging speed. It has separate ranks for cracky, crumbly, choppy and snappy nodes. As well as strength w...
