Publishing a customized launcher
Me and a friend have been making use of the easy to mod/change/customize aspect of the game and we believe that it is open source, so could we publish it on our website, credit everyone involved (after getting the okay from mod authors)?

Are you making a custom 'game' which is actually just a collection of mods? Or are you changing the core engine?
As long as derivatives are licenced in the same way as the original, and you release the source code (preferably on GitHub), you are good to go. However, I suggest you check the license for the individual mods.
You can host it anywhere. I suggest you host the code on GitHub.

7:42 PM - Bauglio: I think if you go to staples you could steal firmware from a fax machine that would run better than win10 does on any platform
7:42 PM - Bauglio: so fudge the stable build
7:43 PM - Bauglio: get the staple build

We've changed the main menu to a static picture, and we will put a bunch of mods in new gamemode folders, so are we good to just publish the website and host the modded minetest or will we have to request permission and stuff?hoodedice wrote:Are you making a custom 'game' which is actually just a collection of mods?

Yeah, sure. Be sure to link to minetest.net
Permission for use isn't explicitly required, but credits certainly are. Be sure to credit everyone responsible for this project.

If you're taking other peoples games and modifying then, then you will need to follow their license.
That rule does not apply as much as minetest_game, simply because it is meant to be modified.
The main menu is independant of compiled code, all you need is lua to write a new main menu.
(Hint: zipball builtin client without the shaders and builtin, too, but only with the files changed.)
