This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org
If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.
hey i was just wondering if anyone could possible make a mod for minetest? possibly one that adds more MC items to the game or maybe others? of course we don't want to make minetest a minecraft copy... it would just be nice if we had some mods.
Well with time .. With time but anyways you cant just say get here everything from minecraft .. But you can say slowly few things like dunno tnt and discuss it with other minetesters.. Anyways my point here is .. WITH Time :D
A fork is a new work derivated from another one. It will not necessary do the same thing. E.g: Minetest-delta is a fork of Minetest. It's almost the same game but with new stuff under development. These things may not be added on Minetest.
A mod is just an add-on for the game. For now, Minetest doesn't support mods so you must create a fork from it to add stuff and such.
hijera: I know celeron55 added lua scripts support a long time ago to make mods but I think he removed this feature.
Minecraft is special because it has been made in Java, which allows very easy replacing of parts of the code, without any work towards supporting it by the original developer.
C++, on the other hand, requires careful planning and much work to allow similar things. Everything has downsides.
