How do I install maps?

[Calinou]

To install maps, you have to extract them first – most of them are in .zip, some of them can be in .rar or .tar.gz format. To extract .tar.gz and .rar files on Windows, you should use 7-Zip.

Put the extracted files in the worlds directory of your Luanti installation directory. The files such as env_meta.txt must be directly in the world's directory (eg. worlds/my_world/env_meta.txt).

On Microsoft Windows, downloaded package distributed by celeron55, or use a RUN_IN_PLACE version, your worlds directory is:

Code: Select all

luanti-base-directory\worlds

e.g.

Code: Select all

luanti-5.10.0-win64\worlds\

If your Luanti is a system-wide installed version on GNU/Linux, your directory is something like (create if needed):

Code: Select all

~/.minetest/worlds/

Map authors: .zip or .tar.gz format is preferable, please avoid .rar format when possible.

Can I get maps on ContentDB?

Unfortunately, ContentDB does not yet support installing maps. Maybe one day. See this thread.
