Re: [Server] Just Test Tribute
SK, please don't take offense, this is just a question. Is unprovoked PvP banned or just ganging? There are no restrictions on PVP between individual players (one-on-one), so long as it is not violating any of the rules. However, teaming up to attack a single player without provocation is an unfair...

Re: [Server] Just Test Tribute
I almost forgot! Last Saturday we had an impromptu inauguration party for the bridge overlooking the French Village (Le Ville Français). It was an unexpected turnout! I'd only invited a few friends to stop by. Yet someone began randomly teleporting players and next thing I knew, half the city was th...

Re: [Server] Just Test Tribute

Anyone that is caught exploiting bugs to kill players will have their privileges suspended. As of today, PVP gangs are now prohibite...

Re: Should we rename Minetest? (poll)
I still really like the name Freeminer. It has all the attributes of great branding. Since work on that project has seemingly halted for the foreseeable future, it might be worthwhile to at least open a dialog with the Freeminer devs about the possibility of acquiring the rights to that name. Just a...

Hey, unless you guys know something the rest of us don't, it's not really fair to assume JT2 has been shut down.

Re: Post interesting mapgen settings here
Who needs sky blocks, when we can have entire sky worlds? :D
Minetest already has the benefit of virtually unlimited vertical space. Traditionally most people assume that to mean depth, rather than height. But using mapgens in this way could introduce a whole new game mechanic.
