Re: [Windows] sfan5's builds: 32-bit & 64-bit, LevelDB, LuaJ
Some feedback, not sure if anyone else is having lag issues with the latest build. I seem to be having alot of lag between client to server vice versa. Placing items into chests, crafting and attacking mobs has long response times. Im using all the same mods as previous builds but this build is very...

Re: [Windows] blert's experimental 64bit build w/ irrlicht 1
Nice build runs well, just a suggestion can you add a changes log spoiler with each build. That way we know what changes have been made from build to build.

Re: What's Minetest still missing over Minecraft?
The idea for two sub-games included as default is good idea, so long as a vanilla minetest_game remains im happy. Would be a great way to expand the community and not shy away newbies as they will have a more complete game experience without having to do a thing. I showed an old friend who used to p...

Re: What is, what will, what sould be Minetest?
I agree with everything burli and Krock said 100%, it's an engine to create your own game. Nothing says you need to create a game anything like minecraft or minetest_game, the choice is yours. However, this discussion gets brought up an average 4 times a year from new players eg: https://forum.minet...

Re: [Windows] sfan5's builds: 32-bit & 64-bit, LevelDB, LuaJ
Great build, but i think i have found a bug with this build. My player tends to run animation on the spot when standing still. The 0.4.14 stable build is fine that leads me to think its something to do with this particular build. Edit: Fixed the issue for now by disabling the joystick setting within...
