really new, need to know how to use mods?

[hisforeverkid]

Hi I'm Hisforever in Minetest, what I need to know is how to access the mods I have downloaded and put into the right folder. I'm using Manjaro Linux, and put the files into /home/minetest/mods. When I go into the control pannel when first started I see them in the mods tab, but when I log in to server I can't use them.

While I'm here I'd like to know how to access the glass blocks that I see in the inventory, it says copy them but don't see the copies. I use the server m.yntesr.net server

I hope I made my self clear not good at explaining troubles thanks for your help

God bless

You need to configure them. When you are in the main menu, (this only works in singleplayer) press the configure button and double click the mods you want to use.

As for using mods on servers, you can only use the ones the server host is using.

The path where you place mods is ~/.minetest/mods, not /home/minetest/mods.

I found what I was doing wrong in the Billboard mod/ I was leaving off a comma at the bottom. Thanks everybody or all your suggestions

Isn't that the default for most users? I associate run in place with dev versions only.

All of my Minetest builds are run in place. Dev and non-dev
Also: This is an old topic o.O
