List of mods that a public server is running?

by AnotherNeko » Post

When I join a public game, and I like the mods that I see, how do I find out which mods are loaded on the server so that I can use them in my singleplayer world?

I don't have permission to run that command. (missing privileges: server)
this is strange because in a similar game, Factorio, you get the chance to review the mods list before downloading each mod, and all mods must be downloaded and loaded into the game before joining the server. However, mods loaded while joining a public Minetest server, I'm not sure what folders they end up in or if they get deleted after I disconnect?

Then the server you are on has changed that command from its default setting. It normally does not require any privileges to run that. The server owner probably has easter eggs or other reasons to keep their cards close to their chest.

Mods that a server uses are also usually on the official server list, though servers could also misreport anything they send to the server list. LinuxForks server messes with the data in a similar way - the usernames it sends to the server are anonymised.

If you go to servers.minetest.net you will find a MASSIVE table full of servers. I suggest using ctrl+f for the server name you are looking for, and then hovering over the second column. This will bring a list of mods, which may be MASSIVE or very small, depending on the admin of the server's opinion on mods.

Plus, if you go to servers.minetest.net/list, you will end up finding a MASSIVE JSON file. Using an external program, you can do all sorts of things to the data.

in the server put on F5 debug mode, and see some of the items you can look at (point view) and see the fuoll name = mod:item

check in the server the command /help
as all mods with commands are shown then there also maybe

open crafting table and see all items offered from all mods, getting the some mod names also

All your proposed solutions are very cumbersome. Please discover that servers.minetest.net exists, i beg you, or your life will be permanently made inefficent.

Yes,
but today I see again, that example at my server there is NO popup list of mods ... so sure we need other solutions if the maybe easiest one does not work.

It is not only my server ... Captureflag, Your-land

Why, I have no memory that I SET this somewhere show yes or no
