Too many memory consuming mods. Lua has a limit of 1GB (correct me if i'm wrong) and you're mod it tking too much memory. try to use less mods or to lighten the mod.

LuaJIT (not "LUA" JIT) issue, where a huge amount of memory is used at one time.
https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/2988
In the issue above, there is also the link to a patched 0.4.16 Win64 binary. If you're on GNU/Linux, look out for patches posted in the discussion or compile Minetest without LuaJIT.

Some solutions:

https://kitsunemimi.pw/tmp/minetest-0.4 ... t-win64.7z (simple Lua version, slower than usual, but does not have memory problems)

https://kitsunemimi.pw/tmp/minetest-0.4 ... 4-win64.7z (usual LuaJit version with support for large memory, may crash, but it was stable for me on windows).

Does this occur on Cmake'd-on-premises Linux headless builds?

I have been going crazy with issues (mods failing) and LuaJIT always seems to be blamed in the end. I have loaded the build linked above and I am not having any issues yet. Sounds and functions seem to all be running... in fact, things are happening that I forgot were supposed to happen! I assume this is due to memory? Is there any real danger in running this build other than it wouldn't work?

If you're on Linux and you want to use mods, you're better off not using LuaJIT, due to this memory issue.

So I'm going to sound super newbe here but apparently the compiler you use can affect how much memory the program you've compiled can use?

Actually, people on linux seem to have less problems with luajit memory issues (at least few accounts from Vanessa)

I have been using Windows exclusively, but I could try that. Still, I am currently testing a build not compiled with LuaJIT and it seems much better than it was. The memory issue could really tank my project though. That would suck. LOL.
