FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

OKay...I know how to install mods, but some of them can't "load or run"....why? Also how can I fix this?

One of the mods that doesn't work is one of yours, lol.

Also I've already seen that page. BUt I fixed the problem...thanks dude.

Ironic. Which one?

Um...the Food mod.

Also I do game design and stuff....do you want to make a mod with me? I have much coding skill to my disposal.

I thought it might be.

BTW, this isn't instant chat. It's a forum. It is best practice to use the edit button if you are the last person who posted, and that wasn't longer than an hour ago :P

It is probably best to make your own mod first, or contribute to an existing mod. Have a look at dev.Minetest.net

Okay...done. So...how exactly do I make a mod? I know the fundements and what to do...just need to know about the game editor and stuff.

More general:

Intro to the mod api:

Sometimes the api-doc might help:

Use parts from existing mods, for example the default:
