This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

Those screen-shots don't work for me. Can someone post new ones? I would really like to see what they are like.

I was thinking about this dual hand feature. Currently it has 1-4 left hand and 4-8 right hand? What if you have two selection boxes, say one blue and one red, and you can select any one of the 8 quick slots. Left clicking one one would make it blue (left hand), right clicking would make the selecti...

integrated account management
Integrated account management:
One user account for:
* the forum
* the wiki
* logging in to the official server
etc...
Would make sense when you have an official server, and it would allow for a financial model to support the game.

An official minetest server
Considering how this game seems to revolve around 'build it yourself' gameplay in a persistent world, considering the fact that the official server is the main usage of the developed game, considering how long it take to develop a server so it has a lot of interesting human made structures, It would...

Visualising minetest server content (snapshots/download)
Summary: Allow players and servers to make snapshots of the world. Allow these snapshots to be exported to video and viewed in a client for exploring. This could bring more attention and players to minetest. I have been playing on kray.dy.fi for two days now, and all I can say is: wow. I have been t...

I almost feinted from awesomeness when I saw http://designer.3ddotgameheroes.eu / The potential of such a web application if you can load/save designs from other people... Then users could develop all kinds of in-game items xD and submit them for being used. The flash application on that website doe...

ubuntu installation: libjpeg 8 dependancy
I cannot install minetest in ubuntu using the .deb file. The problem is the libjpeg dependancy. The ubuntu repositories have libjpeg 6b, and I need 8c to install minetest. I went to http://www.ijg.org / to download the package. I am currently trying to install libjpeg 8 but so far I am unsuccessful ...

I see only one problem: grass land for decorating purpose outdoor.
The simple solution would be not to let any tree trunks spawn unless there is one.
Place a block and you can grow trees, no random trees spawning.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have the servers send a 'heartbeat' to the server list? This way, the server list always knows when a server comes online again. All it need to do is listen who is out there and remove the silent ones (missed a heartbeat? send a request to the server. No answer? Try ag...

The 'mana' thing is interesting, suppose that you gain some mana (or whatever) each time you build or gather a block. For example, 1 point for gathering, 5 points for building. That could be used for multiple actions, and would allow the game to track player activity with one easy number: total 'man...

territories and personalised storage
Hello, 1)Territories It seems like this game needs some kind of protection from vandalism. My suggestion is to give each player *one* territory flag. This flag would give the blocks around it within a certain distance the property that they cannot be destroyed by anyone except the person the flag is...

Teleport travel
Hello, Since minetest world can become huge, it would be nice to be able to craft some kind of home teleportation device. It would be made out of rare materials. Stacking certain blocks in a certain order would for example create the teleportation gate. Then you would craft a handheld teleportation ...
