Server mods

[Tenr]

Hello.
How to install mods on server?
I can install any mod, or only mods developed to work in multilayer?

Nearly all mods will support multiplayer, due to how Minetest is designed. All games are actually multiplayer from the code's point of view, it's just that singleplayer only allows one player to join (with the name of "singleplayer")

Okay, then how to install mods on server?

[rubenwardy]

the exact same way as on a client, except you'll need to manually enable them by adding:

load_mod_modname = true

to the world.mt of the server's world

Thanks, it works.
I also hear that I can install textures on server, and client automatically download and use them. Can I do that?

i use /home/<username>/.minetest/textures folder for singleplayer gaming,
maybe it works for servers also?!!
