Agreed - it should sort by translated title when show_technical_names=false. Unfortunately, it's always by name

Hello,

We're looking to build a list of freelancers that can work on game development, modding, or engine development. If this is you, please email us at hello@luanti.org with:


A link to your ContentDB/forum/Git profile
What you can do - game dev, modding, or engine
What sort of flexibility ...

Minestory conference 2026 - A culmination of a year's work by participating classes where pupils reconstruct heritage sites within Luanti

https://blog.luanti.org/2026/07/23/minestory/

This is a security vulnerability in versions 5.3.0 and below. It's patched in 5.4.0

Listen, I wanted to review things because I could, but now they're converting into threads and users won't know the truth. Seriously, it's not right to censor like that, because people hate censorship.


Moving aside the fact that we're not based in the US, we are also not the government ...

My roadmap for ContentDB:


Game support - improving the game support system and making it available in the Luanti client, so that players can find mods compatible with the game they're playing
Gallery/screenshots refactor - it should be possible to have multiple videos, and to have a main ...

… i just noticed further, that the main screenshot isn’t the main screenshot anymore if you have more than one screenshot 🙁


The main screenshot is shown on the top right of the package page. The gallery defaults to the second item as it would be weird to show it twice. The goal is to eventually ...

The new re-design isnt too bad, my only issue is that hovering over a mod brings up the tooltip descriptor on the tile below.


As TenPlus1 mentioned, hovering over a package puts the tooltip squarely over top of the package below it. Aside from being annoying to look at, this is slightly ...

Fixed

Package page redesign

The package page has been redesigned, with the goal of making the screenshots more prominent, and making the layout easier to understand and simpler. Feedback welcome

If your concern is convenience, it's common to make a util function for this called FS


local function FS(...)
return core.formspec_escape(S(...))
end

-- use in formspec like S
FS("Some text")


… which makes it impossible to translate strings using the common gettext tooling.


Not true ...

Yes you are correct. However, you should still always pass translated strings through formspec escape

IMHO it would be better to announce release candidate with the changelog done, so that people willing to test new features and changes know what to look at.

This version displays a bunch of errors at startup:
2026-05-01 11:12:46: ERROR[Main]: Client: Don't know how to load file "de_DE.po"

What about version 0.4.17.1? If this is vulnerable as well, will the bugfix be backported? (because some servers are still stuck on that ancient version)


0.4.17.x is no longer supported, and there are many known security vulnerabilities in it even before this release (including a remote code ...

Here is a write up about the ContentDB downtime two weeks ago

We are considering creating a Luanti for Education/Kids build variant which would be a separate app on the play store and a separate download from luanti.org. The goal is to (1) provide tools for parents/teachers to manage kids (2) achieve a lower age rating, perhaps aiming for IARC/USK 6.

For ...

One year perhaps you should come by FOSDEM and hang around the stand. We hear from loads of teachers and parents telling us how they've used Luanti with their kids, or how they've used Minecraft in Education and would like to switch to open source. To crudely paraphrase one of the stand staff: "I ...

The flora test is not the issue here. And in my case, I want it to continue if it is part of the flora group.


You've got the test the wrong way around - it will return if it is in the flora group and will continue if it is not in the flora group. A node group is 0 if absent, >0 otherwise

But I ...

-- ...but it can be flora
if core.get_item_group(above_node_name, "flora") ~= 0 then


I think this should be == 0 because you want to exit if it's not flora

In the future, I recommend using print statements or asserts to check your assumptions

When asking for help, you should also make a minimal ...

Hey, please do not advertise your YouTube channel as "official" when you do not have permission from us to do so

That being said, it would be great to have more video content for Luanti and Luanti games, at FOSDEM we'd love to be able to show a trailer reel

This is not currently supported by Luanti. The issue is https://github.com/luanti-org/luanti/issues/14788
