FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hello!

I have a singleplayer game that my siblings have been building stuff on. Today when I was going to show my 9 year old sister how to play Minetest, I got an error after hitting "Play." I have attached a screenshot of the error to this post.

If someone could help me fix this without making a new world, I would be very thankful. (my other sister who has been buidling a massive house will be very dissapointed if she has to start anew)

Thanks!

Hello! There's an answer to that in the Troubleshooting page in the wiki.

I seem to get this error every time I update Minetest. I have the development version from the Ubuntu PPA. I followed the instructions on the Troubleshooting, and now when I go into the world, I'm in space, and there is no world to be seen.

Looks like you are inside the ground.

Type /grant singleplayer all

Press k to enter flight mode.
Press h to enable noclip.
Press space to fly up until you are above the ground.
Press k to leave flight mode.

Hopefully that bug will be fixed soon.

Or maybe he was teleported outside the map (+31.000) so he will need to type /teleport and find the cords of a known place.
