Stuff in your "games" folder can be used without compiling... .. it's LUA stuff, textures, and sounds. I expect that soon enough Mobs will be in there too, so one "game" may work very differently than another. Take for instance a steampunk "game": you change textures, sounds, mobs, and some function...

April fools in your country?
I've often wondered just how many countries actually "celebrate" April Fools.
This being quite an internationalized forum, should prove an interesting poll..
FWIW, in Mexico (and in many spanish-speaking countries according to Wikipedia) we celebrate a similar day on December 28th.

Hmm.. you don't just install them. You download the code and compile it. You can, however, install Mods. That's the main reason C55 introduced Mods, so just about anyone could install them. If you need help with either of those, it will help to at least know what Operating Systen you use and which v...

Maybe not..
For example, your server could generate a small image in which it "writes down" the number of active users.
Any webpage can just link to that dynamic image.

This is just my opinion/vote/commment.. - Sound : Yeah, it'd be nice. I do tend to turn it off from 90% of the games I play though. - 3D players, mobs and animals : I'd settle with them being visible from all angles, like the DM. - Smooth daytime cycle with sun and moon : I find it useful to determi...

Depending on what version you're running, it might not be too common.
Look for tall stone walls, try to spot one. If you find one, dig around it; they're usually found in groups.

Wiki -> Crafting -> Lantern?
Someone created a lantern entry in the Wiki (page "Crafting").
Not only is it broken (the wiki code)..
.. but it seems the lantern is not vanilla.
Does everyone have permission to modify the wiki?

From above just note that: a) If you don't have a public IP: Configure port forwarding. b) If you do have a public IP or just playing on a local LAN: make sure you don't have a Firewall blocking incoming connections. I believe that's backwards, but it's a good point: a firewall in either scenario s...

Last time I checked, the requirements were:
cmake
wget
irrlicht-devel
bzip2-devel
libpng-devel
libjpeg-turbo-devel
libXxf86vm
mesa-libGL-devel
I don't know if the modding API changed them.

Firefly?
What ever happened to Fireflies?
I browsed the code and they're not being spawned anymore.
Any clue as to why?
Were they taking up too many resources?

For the record.. there's a new version. It has LUA mods (c55 says "mods" sounds cooler than "scripts"). C55's announcement: http://c55.me/blog/?p=665 Kahrl requests help figuring out a TOC for a Mod Tutorial: http://celeron.55.lt/~celeron55/minetest/forum/viewtopic.php?id=475

randomproof: you should add a link to your branch in the patchset page of the Wiki:
http://test.mine.bz/wiki/doku.php?id=patchsets
(in the In Progress section; until it's finished)
.. that way people will know that you're working on it.

@Wolfgang, it's not just about adding mobs, but about making them more diverse (i.e.: less DMs in exchange for some other type of mobs).
Therefore the need for less aggresive mobs (bats, snails, moths, badgers), and the unaggressive (cow, sheep, fish).

Brain dump (ideas)
I've had quite a few ideas on how to expand Minetest; so I created an account to post this. Please people, remember this is not a popularity contest (c55 will decide what he likes and what he doesn't)-- .. and although I would be flattered by lots of like/don't-like posts, they don't really add to t...
