FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi, I have recently downloaded minetest on linux, but I do not know how to put mods, texture packs and worlds. I tried wiki, but nothing. Can you help me?

Hello,
in the forum you can find information about it in the respective sub-forums.

Here are the links to the forum threads:

I do not see me the mod folder and textures D:

Create them

When installed system wide you might find the mods here (at least an early 0.4 version on my Linux):

/usr/share/minetest/games/minetest_game/mods/moreores

When installed local you might find the mods here:

/home/TOPYWO/celeron55-minetest-8c3ffa3/mods/minetest

tanks :D

If you installed from source, it would be PATH/TO/MINETEST/games/GAME_NAME/mods
Game name is default minimal, but if you downloaded minetest_game it woudl be minetest_game.

it doesn't seem to matter where I put the mods, they don't work.
I think I may have gotten the plantlife one to work once, but it was just junglegrass in desert and no flowers, tried again and got nothing.
decided to use fresh install got latest stable version 0.4.4 recompiled it, in particular was attempting to install the plantlife mod, but also tried pilz animal and conifers.

i tried mods/minetest/ games/minetest-game/mods and the home thing, none of it worked..

I tested plantlife and PilzAdam's animals wih the latest 0.4.4, compiled using the github readme.txt (DRUN_IN_PLACE=1).

I installed the mods here: /home/topywo/celeron55-minetest-ab06fca-test1/mods/minetest/animals

The plantlife worked, but took long to start off. After installing animals I immediately saw a sheep and a cow. Conifers I didn't install. I remember it to be a really slow starter.

Did you try creative to see if the plants were in your inventory?

I did creative, and the plants and wool are in there,
but they just don't show up in game at all,
even after a day and night in game,
also the animals don't show up either.

just a bit of jungle-grass in the desert and that's it.

can try compiling even more recent versions, though I even tried the stable 0.4.3 and same thing.
