Hello everyone!
The minetest.conf.example in the default Minetest is very mixed up. So I restructured it and here is what I got:

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

There should be a consistent value for "yes" or "no". Don't mix "true" / "1" and "false" / "0". I prefer "true" and "false" for boolean and numbers only if recommended.

The problem is that the game overrides some values and use 0 and 1 instead of true and false. I will change it.

hello,
I have the problem that when I inserted it in the minetest.config I have no more sound in the game?

You shouldnt just copy and paste it into minetest.conf

Quick question a little off topic but i dont want to start a whole new thread for a quick question. Is there a way to enable the snow/ice biomes through the config file? I know about the mods and have noticed snow/ice added to the default textures in 0.4.7 builds?

Is it a feature that maybe added later or has it already been added like jungle biomes, only to be generated via config file?

by **sfan5** » Wed Jul 03, 2013 05:23

Snow and Ice Blocks have been added, but no Snow or Ice Biomes

If the comments at the ends of the lines cause trouble, why not move them over the line they refer to and be done with it?

Also, which is better: This one, or the one on github? https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/minetest.conf.example <-- this one lacks noclip keybindings.

The github one also has configuration for mapgen, but I thought that was handled by the individual world's map_meta.txt; in other words, does one override the other?

Code: Select all: # Domain name of server #server_address = game.minetest.net

does the server address have to be a url, or can it simply be an IP?

If you don't have a domain name you don't need set the server_address setting
