ERROR[Main]: Unknown command-line parameter "--console"


That's a bug, which will be fixed soon in 5.17.0-dev or with this change, if you compiled it yourself:

diff --git a/src/main.cpp b/src/main.cpp
index dd321dc86..5c4af8cfb 100644

Please provide

1. The output of "luantiserver --version"
2. Crash logs (gdb + backtrace) and/or relevant debug.txt lines.

I would also recommend to check whether the process might've fell victim to the OOM killer. Check your system logs and ensure there's at least some amount of swap space ...

Minetest Game because it loads very quickly (important for debugging, testing, including engine changes) and is compatible with most mods that I maintain every now and then.
If I had to pick a game ignoring speed and compatibility, I couldn't decide. There's a few unique games that I liked playing.

Is this dead?

It was. Now transferred to https://github.com/minetest-mods/skyblock . I took the liberty to update the mod in a few places. Contributions are welcome. A ContentDB entry should follow soon.

How long does it take for these kind of updates to appear on content.luanti.org?

The ContentDB page was not configured properly. Now, each commit should trigger an update (limited to once a day).

Thank you! This should definitely do what I'm wanting, but I think I might need examples to look at for reference.


You're welcome. I do not know which examples you need exactly, but perhaps you can find these snippets useful: https://github.com/SmallJoker/minetest_lab/

the glass problems persists
can I do something?


Please check the newest version (again). Figured it out. It took me a while to understand why the glass nodes appeared differently on my side. They were fully white, whereas yours are black/white. Turns out this appearance depends on whether any ...

I contacted SaKeL by email about the future of this mod with the possibility to adopt it by the minetest-mods organization. If there is any news, I will provide an update.

You are probably being "protected" by bubblewrap, which Flatpak uses. The directories are not visible due to permission settings. Install Flatseal or use command-line arguments to grant permission to the paths you'd like to access through Luanti.

I tried to download this mod from github and replace it, but it crashes:

Fixed the error. Sorry for the inconveniences. As for the glass transparency issues you're having - which node names are affected? Also: does it still occur with the most recent version from GitHub?

Summary of the most recent updates:


List fuel craft recipes (requires Luanti 5.17.0+)
Filter by crafting type. To use this feature, click the small button above the --> arrow.
Support to register crafting tools, such as machinery. They will show up when filtering by crafting type. technic ...

When would you like to replace them? Similar to a "season" effect (continuous replacements) or once (mapgen)?

Season effects
Either register an ABM (high interval), LBM (run every time) and/or manipulate all active mapblocks with VManip after N seconds.

Mapgen
You could use an LBM (run once ...

There are no campfires or goblins in standard (vanilla) Minetest Game. Have a look at the "pointed:" information after enabling the debug information (default key: F5) while pointing at the campfire. This will tell you the relevant mod where you could submit such suggestion.

If you would like to ensure that this bug report is seen, mention it here:

If you know a few bits about programming, I am certain the Mineclonia developers would ...

Media files ? In Facade ? Perhaps you are thinking of another mod ?

Yes, textures. It took me a moment to find the "textures/license.txt" file, which document your textures. I should move that to the repository root.


[topic: stoneworks] I am not sure either of those mods provide the same ...

Do you also deal with https://github.com/mt-mods/ as well ?


No. That is a separate organisation. See also: https://github.com/mt-mods/mt-mods . Although, there is a large overlap in interests (pool of mod maintenance) and contributors. I do however have the feeling that minetest-mods is slower ...

..and sorry for the incoming Mods bombing. That's everything afaik, just whatever is worth saving, or which folks may want to tinker with when bored.
I do have a copy of facade on my pc which I have added quite a few items too


It took a while to have a look at the mods but it's better this ...

The most recent adoption (to my knowledge) by TumeniNodes is now found here: https://github.com/minetest-mods/blacksails

The mod does more than what the repository might give away, thus seeing development on representation should give it the attention it deserves.

I would like to do this asap now.


Sure. Here's a brief introduction: https://minetest-mods.github.io/index.html , section "Repository transfer". Your post is already a request, thus no need to duplicate it elsewhere. Please transfer the affected repositories to one of the minetest-mods owners ...

Would minetest-mods expand to Codeberg [...]

I think that would make sense. Offloaded to https://github.com/minetest-mods/minete ... issues/137

Feedback is welcome.

Updated the post for 5.16.1 - a hotfix release for 5.16.0. You may find the changelog here: https://docs.luanti.org/about/changelog/#5160--5161

To get around this issue, you could forceload the mapblocks and send them to the player ahead of time using ObjectRef:send_mapblock.

Reference: https://github.com/luanti-org/luanti/bl ... 9434-L9438

Since this is still receiving occasional updates, you should add a settingtype to hide specific categories/item names/itemstrings in the crafting guide.
My specific use for this is would be hiding the thousands of slopes/slabs from moreblocks that bloat the guide.


Sometimes you still want to ...

You know I have to say it on every change log 🤣: I wish the change log would link the issues/PRs/discussions that lead to the described implementation/fix.


That's a fair request. However, at this point you could as well browse the git commit history to see all relationships of each and every ...
