FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I am using Minetest 0.4.10
My OS is Linux Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
I installed mods from the online mod repository, but when I go into singleplayer they do not work. I pared them all down but even just having 1 mod (charcoal) does not work. When I open the stove and put in the wood it does not create anything. (Yes I am sure I am doing it correctly) When I put in the Mob Framework mod no mobs appear at all.

13:45:45: ERROR[main]: GUIFormSpecMenu::drawMenu() Draw images unable to load texture:
13:45:45: ERROR[main]: /home/s0rceress0/.minetest/textures/base/pack/no_screenshot.png

These are the only two errors I see in debug.txt and they are repeated throughout the file. The mod I would most like to get working is the mob framework mod. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

i don't know for charcoal,
But for mobf, you need to configure the mod, type ingame /mobf

/mobf gives me "Invalid Command"

Are you connect in admin ?

@S0rceress0: Did you enable the mods? (Minetest menu, Singleplayer, Configure).

Iirc .minetest means you installed it system-wide. From where did you get your minetest 0.4.10 version?

At this moment in time, you might prefer to download the mods you want to play from under Mod Releases or Modding general. Those are most of the time up to date.

Thank you! I had to enable the mods.
I will look under mod releases for more.
