Re: Can I use mods on my world online?
Sure, you can host a Minetest server on your machine anytime you want. All mods are server-sided, this means your clients will not need to download anything manually. Here are some good server creation guides in the servers sub-forum: [Guide] Create and maintain a server on Windows and the older Ill...

Re: [Mod] Translate Item Texts [Mod]
Interesting mod. It's really helpful to generate a language template file for all item, node and tool descriptions. Could you perhaps add a seperator (comment line) in the generated template file, that contains the name of the current mod? Currently it is quite hard to see to which mod the descripti...

Re: Minetest mods web app
Could you give the white text in the mod's descriptions a solid background color? It's quite annoying to have that texture behind the text.
Also, your URL in the topic should start with "http://" in order to make [url] work properly.

Re: minetest probleme portweiterleitung
Wenn du schon Port 30001 öffnest, sollte auch Minetest auf diesen Port konfiguriert sein.
Also sollte die Datei minetest.conf auf deinem Server diese Zeile enthalten:

It comes from the fact that node positions are sent and handled as 16-bit numbers. This means we could have a world that's about 65500^3 nodes big.

Re: "Trying to store" & "disconnecting peer" problem
The easiest solution for this problem would be to increase the amount of objects per block in your minetest.conf file: max_objects_per_block = 500 Maybe it will make the world a bit laggier but you will keep the items that would be deleted instead. On the 20th October the limit was increased by defa...

Re: First mod / CoolCoal / (c)
Yes, the license is important for all published work from you.
https://tldrlegal.com/ is a great site when you don't exactly know what a license allows or restricts for those who download your mod.
The most common licenses are CC0, WTFPL (which is almost identical to CC0), MIT and BSD 3-Clause.
