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.
(fixed)

Mods work perfectly fine in 0.4.6 - you're putting them in the wrong place.

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?

it should be minetest-0.4.6/mods/GAMENAME/MODS_HERE

i put my mods in games/build,common,survival what ever you want and press it you willl see the mods put there the mod

Maybe to put mods in it?

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

Why? It doesn't do anything.

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?

Thats what I do, but it still won't work.
I put the mod in
minetest-0.4.6\mods\minetest

What mod are you trying to use?

nevermind, it works now
