I would like to add SSH public key authentication to Minetest, but I will not do it unless I know it will be accepted by the core dev team. This would enable password-less registration and authentication to public servers, and also help pave the way for totally encrypted communication between client...

I've developed a MySQL/MariaDB backend which supports map, auth, player, and mod storage.

If you want to see this incorporated into Minetest, please speak up and show your support:

Github Pull Request #13266

Forum post

Adds MariaDB support for map, auth, player, and mod storage backends.

Fully tested and ready to build/play.

You will need to install MariaDB Connector C++, then simply add "-DENABLE_MARIADB=ON" and build.
