Is Minetest normally more reliable in Linux?

For now I have been using Windows 10. And I just don't know why I can't see any mods I place.
Before, in Ubuntu I didn't have this problem.

I can't tell you anything to help you, because i don't test Windows 10 yet. (And i don't think i'll do it)
But what you can try to see is that you minetest.conf be alright. And try to be sure to know the folder where you actually have Minetest and that the Minetest you use is from that folder...

You are using Addi's installer for your window's build?
I think it uses Sfan5's window's builds, and the latest release has reports of problems with zlib1.dll

You might try just downloading SFan5's build directly instead of using the installer.
Its a no-install portable, so you will have to create your own shortcuts to desktop etc.

What does your folder structure look like inside the Minetest root folder?
It should look like this:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

minetest/

├── builtin/

Thanks for replying guys! :)

Napiophelios,
That worked! I got a daily-stable build from sfan5.

Thank you so much!
