Why cant I add mods to minetest 0.4.6? They don't work no matter where you put them, and there are no errors, it's like the mod isn't even there.

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.

Mods work perfectly fine in 0.4.6 - you're putting them in the wrong place.
You might like some of my stuff:

If you use a game like survival or build you have to put the mods into mods/survival/ instead of mods/minetest/.

But then why is there a "minetest 0.4.6/mods" folder?

mods still do not work in 0.4.6, so I guess I will wait and see if they fix it in 0.4.7, and use 0.4.5 until it is fixed

Since they do work in 0.4.6 there wont be a fix in 0.4.7

I guess I will just put the code for my mod into the code for one of the default mods.

12Me21,
I have been using mods for 0.4.6, and have not had any issues. I placed the mod (animals), for example, in the following locations
minetest-0.4.6\mods\minetest\animals
minetest-0.4.6\mods\survival\animals
Which allowed me to use it in the minetest and survival game types.
FYI, a mod needs to be all lowercase letters and no special characters in case you did not know.
Correct: minetest-0.4.6\mods\minetest\animals
Incorrect: minetest-0.4.6\mods\minetest\Animals
Incorrect: minetest-0.4.6\mods\minetest\Animals 0.1
Edit: It appears Mod folder names do not need to be all lowercase letter anymore.... Huh, an update in 0.4.6?
