Change to survival mode

[bonne]

Running a dedicated server on linux. Ran it with:

minetest --server

Clients can connect. But it seems to be running in creative mode. How to change to survival mode?

Regards, Lars.

Hello.
Open your server's minetest.conf file and add/change the setting `creative_mode` to creative_mode = false

Reference: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... mple#L1221
You may also do the configuration via GUI on a client and copy the modified minetest.conf parts to your server.
If you login with the admin account, then use the chat command /revoke adminname creative to switch to survival (might need to rejoin). If that does not work, use an alternative account where it doesn't grant you all privileges automatically.

Thanks.

config now changed to:

selected_world_path = /root/.minetest/worlds/xxx
mg_name = v7
mainmenu_last_selected_world = 1
fixed_map_seed =
name = xxx
screenW = 800
enable_server = true
port = 30000
menu_last_game = minetest
maintab_LAST = local
screenH = 551
enable_damage = false
creative_mode = false

Do I need to reboot or can I change live?

Regards, Lars.

To ensure that the settings are applied correctly, first shut down minetestserver, then save the configuration file and start minetest afterwards again.
