Ugh, really people? Just be considerate!

Our goal here is not to be like Minecraft. But I do agree we could use a better sneak/crouch animation. I know a little about 3D modeling and animation, so I don't think that would be too hard to do (please correct me if I'm wrong someone). It would also be nice if sneaking hid your name tag, but th...

Overview maps provide a top down view of the world. They can be very handy if you want to explore or if you just don't want to get lost. :)

I like the new map as well as the new inventory tabs!

:-(
Bye.
Thanks for your work.
The source be with you.

I voted for SkyWars, but I would really like to see a minigames server (similar to the Hive MC server). Unfortunately, this doesn't seem possible at the moment.
Also, what exactly is factions?

I like the magen pretty well actually. Minecraft has recently added some more cool biomes in their recent mapgen, but I think Minetest keeps up pretty well in that realm.

I'd love to see a mini-game server. I don't know of any of those in minetest

4- Do you understand that your username might be offensive for some people? Do you know how many people are named Jesus, Christian, Michael, Gabriel and other names derived from religions? Do they all need to use aliases if they join the server? What about names like Zeus (popular name for characte...

+10000000000000000 It would be awesome. We could swear all the time and grief everything. And ban all the admins and the proceed to make minecart lagtracks and flood the servers with lava and kill everyone and crash the server and then DDOS the owners. There would be chaos and text-rape everywhere....

Just my thoughts on what can be improved: 1. Mobs (skins, animations, personality) - All mobs should have a consistent, clean look, and a good variety come pre-installed. - Their animations can be better. (Swaying of the PC should be removed) - Mobs should also interact with one another, rarely. (W...

Hi everyone! Long time no see on the server! I have been busy playing and moderating on Rubenwardy's CTF server, but I'm back to playing here from time to time. Here is my latest build: My giant clock tower https://dl.dropbox.com/s/sh1g0r9oei3dcuu/screenshot_20160113_151101.png?dl=0 https://dl.dropb...

I mainly need to know what folders to cd when I do git pull. I assume it's minetest/ and minetest/games/?

btw, I followed the instructions on the developer wiki, not the readme on github.

Hi everyone,
I just downloaded the minetest development version and compiled from source. I looked on the wiki, but didn't see any information about commands to update it to the current revisions. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04. How would I do this?

Thanks

What does radar mode do/show?

Reminds me alot of the MC console Plastic texture pack which I love. Great work Craig!

Ever heard of iBallisticSquid? If not, search him on youtube.

The shooter mod crossbow problem is fixed, so we need to update that mod on the server.
Also, it would be nice if stu's wieldview mod was installed so you know what kind of foe you're going up against in pvp.

Why have wooden doors been removed? It's a good way to monitor who comes into your base without having to break in the walls. :/

I play on: LinuxGaming2.com -and- RubenWardy's Capture the Flag Server LinuxGaming2: LazyJ The owner and admin of the server. He's an excellent builder and runs an excellent server. He is always helpful when you need it, knows how to handle people, is encouraging and offers advice when needed. He's ...

The point isn't censorship, its allowing the minetest FORUM to be a place that parents feel safe letting their children go to and where people feel safe browsing at work. That doesn't mean someone can't run an adult only server with all nude (cubical) skins. But this forum is pretty much the closes...

*Whew* long topic. I don't think that the mod (or similar mods) should be posted on this forum. I think that posting them on github or other external sites is the way to go. If I were a parent, I wouldn't want my kids to see *that* kind of mod here. I think that Minetest has done a good job at being...

Amazing build LazyJ! That is absolutely beautiful!

Very nice model stu! It really improves the looks of the player. Would be nice if we could make it so the head swiveled on the body.

Ya, I still haven't figured out how to craft stuff on Minetest for Android!

Why does the crossbow not work for me? Every time I fire it, the arrow lands at my feet instead of in the other player's body. Do I have to hold down a button or press shift?
