Where did you place the mods after extracting them? You need to place them in the "mods" folder in the Minetest directory.

Perhaps, it's just double-click the name of the MOD.：）

No, it doesn't work like that. You extract the mod archive, then put it in (your Minetest directory)/mods.

Softonic is a website that spreads malware, you should consider uninstalling it and installing Minetest from the official website: http://minetest.net

The game may not have a mod folder by default; just create it if there isn't one.

thanks it worked :D

I cannot find the minetest directory. I'm a disabled veteran with neurological issues, and thus a VERY basic ubuntu user...

I'd be grateful for any help. :(

From where and what version of minetest did you download/install?

Maybe this helps you a bit.

http://wiki.minetest.net/Installing_Mods :

The common place to install them is $path_user/mods/. That is minetest-install-directory/mods/ in the official windows releases and RUN_IN_PLACE versions on Linux and ~/.minetest/mods/ in globally installed Minetest versions.
