FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

5. I am a Linux user and ever since the acquisition of Minecraft from Microsoft, there has been a looming expectation that Minecraft support for Linux will slowly erode. Just rename Minecraft.exe to Minecraft.jar. Havent played MC in a long time, so I dont know if that still works... I came to Mine...

I think this mod should be in place of "Simple Mobs" on this page... http://www.minetest.net/mods

Chrome OS is based off Gentoo, so it may be as simple as compiling it on your Chromebook. It uses the Monolithic Kernel, so maybe someone here can help you with that. :)

Wow, looks very nice cant wait to try it! :D

Found a little village with a huge tree in the middle of it.

Voxelands has a character creator. Maybe Minetest could adopt something like this.

Thank you so much! Sorry for the complaint.

Another amazing mod! Thanks! :D

Hello, I just want to say that this is an amazing mod pack! It is probably one of my favorites! But I have a request. The doors do not seem to face each other when I put them down together. I would really like it if you could fix this. Here is an example of what I'm talking about. http://i.imgur.com...

Wow! This is the best mobs mod I have seen! Thanks TenPlus1! :D

Here are some pictures of a castle I have been building in a singleplayer world, http://i.imgur.com/ieJf5US.png http://i.imgur.com/pZ7jFYr.png http://i.imgur.com/JsV7x9U.png http://i.imgur.com/AznS5PU.png http://i.imgur.com/yTuwu8h.png

I was wondering what this texture does. Could someone please tell me?

I have recently been working on a new texture pack and it has been coming along quite nicely to my standards. But I stumbled upon a problem. I could not decide which texture I wanted to use for Cobblestone... http://i.imgur.com/kukqRwf.png or... http://i.imgur.com/cGlqmVn.png As you can see they are...

Map gen V5 looks amazing! Great job! :D

Today I was building a castle and was scrolling through the inventory and noticed that there are tracks but not carts. Why are carts not in the default game and since they are not why do we have tracks? I think tracks should be tacken out or carts should be put in.

I also very strongly agree that the name needs to be changed.
Someone mentioned something about the names VoxelEngine and VoxelMine. I think these are great names to use instead of Minetest, or how about VoxelMiner. I like that one the most!

Everything on minetest.net must be family friendly. Why on Earth? o_O This is the Internet, not your local kindergarten. :P If you use “family friendly” as an euphemism for “censorship”, I’m against it. Especially the crusade against “strong language” is stupid as fuck. It simply does not make any ...

How about having some tutorials for some of the new players that dont know much. There could also be some videos showing off new and popular texture packs. There could also be videos of some of the amazing buildings people build on servers. Also how about showing some of the servers. Someone said mo...

Me too :D

Today I figured out I could make bronze from copper and steel. So I turned all my steel into bronze. I was just wondering which is better, steel or bronze. I cant tell a difference between them.

I have a shitty AMD dual core 1.0 GHz processor and have never once experienced slow chunk loading. Well, except for that one time when I was using Windows 7...

Hello Everyone! This is a texture pack that is close to the original but is a little different. All I did was aply the cartoon filter in gimp. It was intentionaly only ment for personal use but it turned out better than I thought it would so I thought I would uplaod it in case anyone else likes it! ...

You! people of Minecraft deserve good texturepacks too!

The people of Minecraft already have great texture packs. I dont think the community needs to waste their time supporting MT's counterpart when it will not even be used.

Good luck with mobs!

Reminds me of Outlast! I love that game! :D

Here, Minetest feels less laggy than Minecraft (when I played it). For me, too! (Yes, I admit! I tried MC once a while ago but it was simply unplayable.) Maybe Johnyknowhow meant Minetest is still not as much laggy as Minecraft, so more lag should be added as a feature. xD The most recent MC update...

Celeron55 posted this image in the Post Your Screenshots thread. It must mean something about Minetest's future.

Is this gonna be in the next version?

I have read some of the comments and here is my view. Minetest lacks artistic quality not in the textures but in game itself. For me Minecraft is exploring and that is what I have always liked. Minetest is you see 3 biomes and you have seen them all, oh look a random underground structure with no d...

I think that this should be added as soon as possible, if this really adds 2-3 times more fps than for people that only get 10-20 fps it would help a lot! But I have no idea how to do it so dont ask me...
