How to report bugs

[PilzAdam]

If you want to report bugs, please follow these steps:

1. Search on github forum if the bug is already reported or solved

https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues?q=is%3Aissue Minetest issues
https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/issues?q=is%3Aissue Minetest Game issues


2. Collect information about the bug (see below)
3. Create a new 'issue' on github

https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/new Create a new Minetest issue
https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/issues/new Create a new Minetest Game issue

Collecting information about the bug:

• Is the bug reproducible?
• How can you reproduce the bug?
• What is your operating system?
• What is your version of Minetest?
• What game do you use? (e.g. minetest_game, MiniTest, dwarves)

Also add output from debug.txt in the topic (use the [code] tags of BBCode for that):

• Go to the bin/ directory of your Minetest copy (or ~/.minetest/ in a globally installed Minetest) and delete the existing debug.txt
• Add "debug_log_level = verbose" (*) to minetest.conf
• Start Minetest and reproduce the bug
• Close Minetest (if it hasnt crashed already) and copy the contents of the new debug.txt
• (Remove "debug_log_level = verbose" from minetest.conf)

If debug.txt doesn't contain anything but a console pops up, post the content of the console.

(*) If you are using Minetest 0.4.11 or earlier, use "debug_log_level = 4" instead.
