All the worlds I'm creating in Luanti, regardless having the MoreOres or not mod added are only generating coal veins.

I'm running Luanti straight from the Debian repositories.

i will be posting here next few days some information intended for people from threadiverse who may get interested in Luanti-based games on how to adapt if they are coming from Minecraft

i dont have the time for creating video content (recording, editing, so on) so i will just share videos already around on PeerTube (feel free to comment YouTube videos but i wont link those on my posts)

these are convenience posts for threadiverse lurkers, if someone wants to do a more complete in one place posts and maybe video, feel free to do it the more the better for getting people to try out and stick around longer on Luanti

Mesecons

for people who enjoyed messing around with redstones, this is one of the Luanti mods that could get you to do what you could with redstones and even more!

Mesecons Laboratory game will provide you a default map with examples and explanations in-game and you can mess it around however you like to try understand it better

More

if you plan on hosting a server and you want to restrict usage of some mesecons by ofher people in your server, there is a mod called Mese Restriction to help doing it

... and many more other mods to extend capability of mesecons!

Under Explore on People section, there's an All directory (instanceURL/instance/all/people - e.g. https://piefed.social/instance/all/people), then add their PeerTube handle on Add people page (instanceURL/instance/add_people)

When viewing a PeerTube channel, under VIDEO CHANNEL there's their name and under it their @ if you click their handle will be copied

i suppose when sharing the submitter would inform what mods are required for it to load properly, Luanti is pretty old is there no place like this yet? or maybe worldedit importing codes

The issue

When playing single player or hosting a server from the menu a malicious mod can set a global setting that controls the location of the Lua script used to display the main menu. The script is then loaded as soon as the game session is exited.

Hello everyone,

I've been following Luanti for years now, and I always wondered if anyone made a texture pack with Minecraft textures (old or new textures)

Before saying it, I know I know, legal issue blablabla, but since when did it stop the modding community!

So, does anyone knows a project to bring MC textures to Luanti (maybe for MineClonia or VoxeLibre)

Thanks! :)

Hey, does anybody host a server for players outside the home network? At home, we have the server running of the "player 1" laptop and connect via local IP. For external players, I am hesitant to expose our network and am considering a VPS.

Do you have any recommendations? Thanks!

Announcing the release of Exile v0.4.0!

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72m45MbtgcY

This is a major milestone release, resulting from about three years worth of work in our development branch. The game has been extended, polished, fixed, and some parts have been rebuilt from the ground up. It should be a much more polished and stable experience than ever before.

Changelog:

• Widespread seasonal changes and effects, applied out to draw distance
• A tutorial to introduce new players to the game
• Many new biomes, trees, and plants
• More complex plant growth and soil tracking
• More intelligent animals, including the new Chichasa bird
• Harsh weather can be exhausting to travel in
• Dramatic new lava effects and behavior
• New food recipes including breads, vinegar, and more
• New crafting system based off rubenwardy's crafting mod
• Crafting "spots" replaced with surface requirements or placed tools
• More in-world construction and materials
• Fewer bottlenecks in the crafting tech tree
• Chairs to let you rest while sitting upright
• New spawn system designed for Exile's specific needs
• Three-button control scheme to reduce accidental clicks
• Player settings and UI themes

And lots more besides!

We suggest creating a new map. Existing maps will work, but will have to be scanned into the new system, and will still lack a couple of (mostly cosmetic) things. Instructions to perform the scan are included.9

For mod authors: We have renamed the minimal mod to prevent collisions with other games and mods, our version is now called exile_game. A minimal mod is located in the utilities folder, and can be installed to provide compatibility for mods that aren't updated.

Inpsired by a recent post about extending Luanti towards SurvivalCraft, this is my favorite non-video guide to getting started writing Luanti mods.

There's some great video guides too, but I don't have those links handy right now.

Everything needed is free, and I think pretty well available on any PC platform (Linux, Mac, Windows).

I have a human child that has created a rather awesome Minecraft world.

Now there are several reasons why it would be good to start using something based on Luanti.
However, the world they have been creating is something we would really not want to miss, even though it's not even one year old.

They are playing in creative mode, and we agreed that it's enough if all of the terrain near the home house, the house itself, plus the tunnels dug into that terrain would be preserved. We are able to rebuild all the minetracks and doors and windows and place new animals, if needed. But at least a skeleton of their world would be important to preserve.

So, is there a way to convert our Minecraft world to something playable on Luanti? And what game running on Luanti would you people recommend for us to use for this purpose?

And secondarily, if we need to just start from scratch, which Luanti-game would be best for a young child wanting to play more or less akin to how you play Minecraft in creative mode? Being able to place objects freely while flying freely, and beig able to populate the world with animals – at least cats and/or dogs – would be very important for them, but almost anything else can be whatever it is. It does not need to be the same as Minecraft, it just needs to be able to approximately fulfill the same purpose for a human child.

I'm running this on Ubuntu and if any Windows or Mac based software should be needed, I do know people who can let me temporarily use their computer for that. But the actual playing will happen on Ubuntu.

Your goal is to loot all treasures of the known world. To win a level, you must find all gold blocks in it.

You can walk around the level freely and take, place and rotate blocks. Mirrors, bombs, color mixers, skulls and many other special blocks assist (or hinder) you in your task. Use your wits to activate detectors, pull levers, ignite bombs and barricades to eventually break all the locks and take all the gold.

Try meow anarchy MODDED!!! It's a great server and the perks are:

• You can suggest a mod and it will be added
• I am a very friendly admin
• Me and my wifey play regularly
• lots of mods (also technical mods)
• I Selfhost
• It runs pretty well to be honest
• It's anarchy

Sorry for the blatant self promotion, but it's not like this community is being spammed with similar. Yay, please join!

Hello,

I don't like how many items/blocks were added to Minecraft. It removes what made Minecraft so special–its simplicity.

Are there any Luanti games that replicate that feeling? "Minetest Game" doesn't have any mobs, and has weird controls. VoxeLibre has too many items.

You could probably fix that with mods or... you know just not using the items i don't wanna use. :) I still wanted to ask here though maybe somebody uses exactly that. I did found an empty server that was running something, that looked a lot like Minecraft Alpha, but I couldn't find what game they have used.

Two new maps available on our server "A.E.S."!

📦 Neden 2 - a Block League map as a tribute to the map with the same name from S4 League

🌻 Flowers - a Colour Jump map made by fnetX

Hi everyone!

I've been enjoying playing Luanti (formerly Minetest), so I decided to create my own server to play and chat with friends, use downloaded mods, and generally enjoy the process, like in Minecraft. However, I'm having a hard time setting up the server.

I tested programs such as Hamachi, playit.gg, and FreeDNS Update, but they didn't work. I also don't know how or where to create a domain for my server. When I started the server, an error message appeared that said, "Connection timeout has expired."

I have a Windows 11 laptop with good RAM and a hotspot on an Android tablet.

If anyone knows the solution, please let me know.

Thanks for reading!

Ghosts, so many ghosts! Help the ancient spirit in the lobby to find them all and unlock the "Ghostbusters" title! Until November 6th

Exist?

Big news on our Luanti server, AES!

Take part in the beta, level up your weapons and reach the level cap (18) in order to obtain the "BL Betatester" title. Beware: progress will be reset once the beta ends

It took me ~3 years to plan this whole thing, I'm super happy this is finally happening 🥺❤️
