Minetest is free and open-source, right?
Well, I want to make a pay for game like Minecraft cause the Moderators for the forum for the MC game itself are being (in my opinion) Jerks.
So I want to make a game called Realm Of Blocks, but to make the trial version, could I modify the game after downloading, and present it to the Minetest forums for Approval, or do I need a license first? Is it copywrighted?
If approved, then I would put it on the Forums for Minecraft to see what they think of the game.
Then have a site for the game to be payed for and downloaded.
What is your opinion on this? If no, then I need a site that can has a reference guide on how to program in java that is free, and printable.

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.

... The source of Minetest is released under GPL. Art/media is released under CC-by-SA. If you modify the source, or include images from base minetest, you must either provide a download for modified source, or link to the included (minetest) image.
My two cents: nobody will make money by trying to sell a "modpack". Sell server access instead. Go MMO.

Minetest is LGPL, not GPL.

... Same difference. Basically, modified source(!) and source must be provided (except for whatever custom thing you write and plug in. But modifications to source do not count).

I think you can make a game for minetest and make people pay for it.
That way, all assets for your game could be under a proprietary license, but the engine will stay open source, much like quake... But then you mustn't use anything from the default mods/game, so good luck !
I'll quote tinoesroho:

I made a few (a lot of?) mods for minetest: here is a list.
See also the MT-Faithful texture pack (work in progress).
