Minetest Notes

Main Server

  • Build: 5.0.1
  • Game: minetest_game
  • World: /minetest/main/world
  • craftguide mod: 1.11b <= latest version that supports 5.0.1

Building Minetest

Install dependencies:

sudo apt update
# Install command from the Minetest documentation. Then install libncurses-dev to enable --terminal support.
sudo apt install libncurses-dev

Clone the minetest repo

https://github.com/minetest/minetest

git branch to list the branches and checkout the latest version branch.

Follow the build instructions on the page. Most recently used:

cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=TRUE -DBUILD_SERVER=TRUE -DBUILD_CLIENT=FALSE -DENABLE_CURSES=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j$(nproc)

Change directory into the games directory and clone in the games you want. Capture the flag (https://github.com/MT-CTF/capturetheflag) requires some update scripts run. Be warned that they fix the settings in the lua scripts.

Update a minetest.conf file with desired settings. See an example below.

Launch with a command like:

#!/bin/bash
/opt/mt/main/bin/minetestserver --info --config /opt/mt/main/minetest.conf

Upgrade Plan

Start by backing up the current stable game files.

Compile the server version you wish to have:

cd /minetest/main
git status
git checkout 5.0.0
git pull
cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=TRUE -DBUILD_SERVER=TRUE -DBUILD_CLIENT=FALSE -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j$(nproc)

Update the minetest_game:

cd /minetest/main/games/minetest_game
git status
git pull
git checkout 5.0.0

Update mods with the following:

Note: This typically causes problems. It would be better to update each mod and test the result.

cd /minetest/main/mods
find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -print -exec git -C {} pull \;
