How do you uninstall a mod???

[cessna151]

I installed my very first mod, simple mobs, and played it for a few minutes. Then i went to disable it in the world configuration menu. This caused all kinds of lua errors during gameplay. Then i tried removing the mobs folder from the minetest directory. This had no effect; lua errors continued. Then i put the mobs folder back where it was and tried the uninstall option in the Mods tab at the main menu. This had no effect. Mobs folder remains and is still playable.

How do you uninstall a mod?

Sample lua errors:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

It's because you have undefined entities - 3d objects - floating around.

Type /clear_objects into the chat console - it may take a while.

command sent... While i wait, is there a confirmation or something to know when it's done?

Also, for future reference, what is the proper way to uninstall a mod?

[rubenwardy]

Disable it using configure.
Uninstall by deleting the folder.

If you use a mod in a world and then uninstall that mod, it may cause problems such as missing nodes or entities or broken mapgen. It depends on what the mod is.

It should tell you in the chat.

Thanks! That worked.

You can also use the button "uninstall" in the Mods tab in the main menu.

and tried the uninstall option in the Mods tab at the main menu. This had no effect. Mobs folder remains and is still playable.

u can disable the mod in configure tab and delete it in the folder

/home/minetest/mods/simple mobs
