Re: A plea for direction.
I couldn't agree more. I don't see any reason to make minetest only playable as a minecraft-like game since that already exists. Of course you can make that type of game for minetest if it were to become such an engine, since there is clearly a demand for it (including me), it is just that I don't w...

Re: Adding a cargo.toml like file to mods?
That is the intention of mod.conf which is currently implemented in minetest. However, it is not used for anything more than setting the name of the mod.

Re: Which community members do you miss and why?
I miss Tickborn from the redcrab server. He helped me build an incredible looking city with victorian architecture, but it was erased in a map glitch that a still existed back then. However, I was stupid enough to not take screenshots, still kicking myself for that.

Re: Minetest-Mods team
@sofar Thank you! I still have the gimp files for the badge I made. I suppose If I create other badges they could be put in the website repository, and could be mentioned somewhere on the web. I don't have time to make other sizes right now, but for now, what sizes do you want?

Here is a forum button I made for this:
I can change stuff about as I still have the gimp files. This could be used in a signature, but it could also be used to signify a mod that is a part of this repository.

Re: Mod Metadata
Right, but is it actually used within minetest to determine the mod's name? That way, the folder name wouldn't matter and new people wouldn't have to worry about it.

Mod Metadata
I just saw a post in general discussion about a mod not working because the poster didn't know to remove -master from the end of the name. I think it would be better to store information about the mod (such as name, description, screenshots, etc) in a metadata file so the end user doesn't have to wo...

I agree with kaadmy here, hunger is a bit too specialized to put in the minetest engine, and is something that not every game creator will want to use. Instead we should focus on giving game creators the tools necessary to create their own hunger system. The same thing could probably be said about d...

Re: New settings menu
I assume that you meant "add difficulty settings"? If a game wants to add a difficulty setting, it needs to do it itself. Besides, there isn't much that would increase the difficulty of minest_game as of now without just being an annoyance. (in other words, that isn't the job of the minete...

I have seen a lot of open source games that use that advanced settings approach. I think that just providing a check box that shows advanced would be sufficient.
