I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

Do you need to have this?
Whenever i put on a mod that says -master, i delete the word "-master" so that the init.lua will function (i have no idea what im talking about, but naming conventions etc. etc) but today i got a series of mods that seem they wont work because of naming conventions, so i wanted to know if the suffix on most mods "-master" needs to be on the folder in the mods folder? (it sounds confusing, tell be if you need it to be briefer)

Minetest requires that mod folders be named the same as the modname part of items registered in the mod. The internal mod name is included in the title of forum topics and under the mod name on the MMDB. GitHub, which is popularly used by modders, adds a -master suffix to the folder name.

I play on my Minetest server and VanessaE's.

Since 0.4.5 or so, anything after - in the folder's name is ignored

When you download a mod from a forum, the maker of the mod should provide the folder name in the title.
For example: "[Mod] Experimental mapgen. Faults and strata [0.3.1] [paragen]" In this case, you would name the folder to "paragen"
