FOSS gamedev and creative worlds
This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

another idea could be adding an installer where you choose what version,mods,and tezturepacks could be added. Right now, the most important part is to break that darned "Minetest is cool, but I want a Minecraft server because none of my friends have Minetest" parole by providing a Minetest bundle t...

Hi, But this post is also about other ways of distribution - I have planned to build Minetest install CDs for Windows as well, containing an installer for the game and popular mods, and hand them out to kids I know so they can see that Minetest is a lot more than just a Minecraft clone. -nik That is...

Hi, What separates LGPL from GPL? the GPL forces all derivative works to be under GPL again. LGPL says you can link against it as a library, without putting your code under GPL. In essence, Minetest's LGPL license allows for proprietary or differently-licensed mods - which created the chaos at hand ...

How exactly is WTFPL not good? I don't see any problem with it. Some jurisdictions are still very unclear about open source licenses. As a Linux distribution, we have to make sure that the software we include can be legally distributed in all countries. This is why it is questionnable to include so...

Hi, Is it a problem that all my mods have a "rolling release" model? I dont really maintain any releases, I just push to my repo and note something in the forum topic. It is not a problem. A well-planned release model certainly makes life easier for packagers. As far as Debian is concerned, we have ...

To all mod devs: How to be a good upstream
Hi mod devs, during the last weeks, I have taken up the task of getting the most popular minetest mods into the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. This is quite important, as the availability of Minetest as a free (and great) alternative to Minecraft and other modern games within popular Linux distribut...
