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.

away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

Re: [minetest-bower] mod repository and package manager
Two small things about the installation on Linux: npm install -g bower did not work for me as the command tries writing to system paths. It should probably be sudo npm install -g bower A second suggestion would be that nodejs is already a dependency of npm, so it does not need to be specified separa...

Re: [minetest-bower] mod repository and package manager
Idea: How about a small and simple GUI package manager for the less computer literate, written in Java, so it can be installed directly from the page with a click or two. So someone can just go and refer a Minetest newbie to Bower.

Re: What's Minetest still missing over Minecraft?
For underground variety I tried combining caverealms (which creates crystal caverns of different types depending on depth) with paramat's "subterrain" and "intersecting" worldgens, which resulted in HUGE though quite amorphous caverns of sometimes many kilometers. I agree that a ...

Re: What's Minetest still missing over Minecraft?
Yes, maybe I just intended to provoke a bit. IMO the base game should give a foretaste of what it can be turned into, by including an assortment of decorative blocks by default to underline the creative/sandbox aspect. Not hundreds, maybe two dozen. And a handful of mobs and some bushes/flowers. Uni...

Re: What's Minetest still missing over Minecraft?
Minetest was my first exposure to this class of games, and after I had bought Minecraft – just in order to know what all the fuss and talk is about – I quickly regretted paying the 19.95 €. MC horribly sucks as a sandbox to just build beautiful things in. And that's everything I want and expect. The...

Re: [16x] LT-WarmNCrisp (overhauled default textures)
Thanks. I'll tinker some more and maybe churn out more texture packs, as I basically only have to swap out filters in a script and rebuild everything.

[16x] LT-WarmNCrisp (overhauled default textures)
First post of a long time lurker :) I created a texture pack, basically as a byproduct of creating and tinkering with mod processing scripts. The default textures in Minetest do the job but they are IMO very plain, undetailed and slightly oversaturated. Foremost they lack contrast, and the lack of a...
