Until a fix is done, you need to apply Korkut's workaround (see post 936) to kill mobs

Is there any manual how to use MOBF? I couldn't find it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist. For example, my questions are: 1. how to catch vombie (hot to make vombie trap, what material is in middle?) {'default:wood', 'default:wood','default:wood'}, {'default:wood', "animalmaterial...

Thanks again, Sokomine, I'm all set now

Recent Minetest (I got 0.4.5) changed damage algorithm and made the mobs indestructable. I got pretty annoyed while trying to kill a chicken with a mese sword until I decided to just look up git commits and figure out what's wrong. In api.lua, I found this function and added a workaround until a pr...

OK, I just needed to understand that it works like a furnace or a chest.

Thanks

I crafted a circular saw, but I found no description of how to use it in the moreblock thread.

I have a big problem with crafting stairs when using this mod: there is a mention of using a circular saw, but no description of how to use it. Same with the screwdriver.
Also, why suppress the initial and so simple recipe for building straight stairs:
mxx
mmx
mmm

Thanks Sokomine: after I removed moreblocks, I could make stairs again.

I am using the 0.4.6 build from xyz on windows 7, so it is up to date. I added the following mods: moreblocks, homedecor, plant-master, mobf, moreores, unified inventory and a few minor ones. I tried crafting simple straight stairs with cobblestone or stone and ...NOTHING! Any idea why? On previous ...

with 0.4.6 and the previous build (24.03.13) from xyz, I have lost the ability to craft any stairs.

This is annoying.

I notice there are a list of mods in games/common. Are these activated automatically, even if I import a world from a previous version?

Should I add a stairs mod?

The 2.0.5 primary download includes the 2.0.4 version, probably by mistake. After you delete that extraneous folder, the 2.0.5 version of the mod will work.

Tree variety is nice, but, in my opinion, this mod goes a little overboard with tree height and trunk thickness.
Also, the building time at game startup is very long.

tamed wolf can't follow you on teleporting, travelnet is doing teleports.

I understand it cannot follow me, but I would like to find it there when I come back, and instead, now, it disappears.

tamed wolf should teleport to you if it's distance is too big maybe there is a problem in finding a destination where to teleport to. do you use stable or development branch? I use the stable version 0.4.5 and I often use travelnet, going from station to station (from the mod "travelnet"). But I ha...

My tamed wolf keeps disappearing completely. I already made about 5 of them and each time I have to find a wild wolf.

The tamed wolf work ok for a while, but does not follow me if I go far and is not there when I come back.

I run 0.4.5

In my experience, this only happens with windows XP.

Had a hardware failure and the game was forcibly shut down. Now, I cannot restart Minetest, here is the log just before shut down: 18:49:41: ERROR[ServerThread]: MOBF: >"vombie"< removed=true entity=table: 3E7CC8B8 No spawning information available on saving mob or mob already deleted 18:50:07: ERRO...

Regarding the barn, I just dropped it in the yard where I keep my animals, and they started to reproduce, I had to remove it as I couldn't keep up with the slaughtering. The name is a misnomer, you don't put animals in the barn: the barn is no bigger than a block. The animals in the vicinity of the ...

I have some problems with the tamed wolf:

1. It has difficulties going up stairs
2. It gets embedded in earth blocks etc.
3. it doesn't follow me when I go for a longer walk: is there a max distance from its spawn location?
4. Sometimes, it disappears completely

Is there a better "dog" mod?

It's a BoomBomb from the creeper family.

Thank you Tpywo, can I kill a BoomBomb? how?

About the water, get back the water source with a bucket.

and what is this mob called? is it the "big red"?

what are the big purple balls that explode?
Can I kill them? how?
Can I disable them?

After I poured a bucket of water over the fire at my house, how can I stop the water flowing?

Is there somewhere a description of what we can do with each animal?
Also, how can I cook their meat and eat it? I tried the furnace, but it didn't work

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge minetest

removes the Minetest package, including configuration files and user data (this includes your worlds).

Thanks a lot, Calinou

and I shouldn't play minetest until it is a stable released game ? seriously: all I wanted to do the other day, was remove all minetest files and folders (some had been left even after "complete package removal") to do a clean new installation. I failed anyway because I had missed the hidden files. ...

I have a few small problems with this mod. I use the 2/20 4d1 minetest build on Windows 7 1. to exit inventory, I need to hit esc (not a big issue, but different than expected) 2. This is more annoying: the craft guide part doesn't show recipes of basic items like tools, furniture (I have 3Dfornitur...

Go into you file manager, and tell it to quit hiding files and directories from you. Also, the directory is called ".minetest", if that helps. You are right, Ogb, I now know to do that and it is saving me a lot of time. I just need another tip to give myself quick permission to delete or edit syste...

Thanks Vanessa, I did and the colors came ok, but the netbook is really too slow for this game.

Also, like Traxie said, the blocs in inventory are all mixed up: wood looks like blue wool, leaves look like lava etc...

Thanks a lot, shadowwraith, I didn't realize there were hidden files: this explains a lot of my problems!

You are my hero of the day
