Re: [Debian / Ubuntu] 1-line script: install Minetest Git
I noticed with the installation of minetest with this script on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 14.10 is that it won't work if the folders don't yet exist. I had to install the old minetest in the normal fashion, remove it with the Ubuntu software center, and then run this script again to make it wor...

Re: blocks not saving (windows with 0.4.11)
Krock's 32 bit build from 28 jan 15 with the minetest_game linked at the minetest download page seems to be working fine so far. So the problem appears to me to be with the 64 bit builds.
