linux mods

by dowaine » Post

How do you put mods under linux? In windows you just put the file in the mods folder, but how do you do this under linux?

Do you have a RUN_IN_PLACE version or a system-wide installed one?

For me (Xubuntu 12.04 and 13.04), inside the "/home/USER/" directory there is a hidden folder called ".minetest"
Inside that folder there should be a folder called "mods" -- if there isn't, make one.
Then extract the .zip file or what-have-you of the mod into the "/home/USER/.minetest/mods/" folder and rename it to whatever the name of the mod is supposed to be (it's listed in the forum thread for each mod).
If you're absolutely lost, do a search for "minetest.conf" -- whatever directory that shows up in is the right one to create a "mods" folder in.

That is for system-wide installation of Minetest.
For RUN_IN_PLACE there is a mods/ folder in the minetest directory, just like in the windows builds.

Yes, but is it system wide installed, or is a RUN_IN_PLACE build?

For linux-users: You can also run

Code: Select all

minetest --server --info
to get the path wich minetest.conf is used.
