FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Recently I set up my own server. It works great, but when I put a lump of coal and some gravel in the crafting grid, nothing happens. I do not get this problem when playing single player. Could it be a problem with the server? Any suggestions?

TNT is disabled for multiplayer by default.
Add enable_tnt = 1 to minetest.conf to enable it.

Ah, thanks very much.

hmmm didn't seem to work. the minetest.conf file is supposed to be in the minetest main folder, right? Also, I didn't see an option for enable_tnt, commented out, so I added it myself. Was that the correct name of the parameter?

Yes, in the main folder.

There's no documentation in minetest.conf.example because it's a (sub)-game specific setting.
So, simply add this line to your minetest.conf and test it afterwards.

You also can add and change those settings with the ingame command

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

enable_tnt = 1

/set -n enable_tnt 1

Thank you! The in-game command worked.
