minetest-engine-luk3yx

This is a minetest 0.4 with includes features from 5.0.0 branch, like new api and loading of mods up to date.

description

This repository is a minetest 0.4.18.3 version; it build from this sources, mostly most of the 5.0.0 improvements were added! any mod from the 5.X series will be compatible with this.

A Minetest fork with backported features and bugfixes from 5.0.0. Most of them documented here: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/6746/commits the sources were forked as new repo from https://github.com/luk3yx/minetest of the stable-0.4-backport branch.

In case you downloaded the source code:

To generated a program from this files you need two things:

  1. Compile this sources, check the section Compiling of this file.
  2. Download the gameid for this folk, chek the section Engine vs Gameid

This is a mostly unmaintained fork of an older up to dated version of Minetest (0.4.17.1) to add features and bugfixes from 5.0.0 before 5.0.0 was officially released and most servers were still on 0.4.17.1. Its pretty stable and know to work, but is not official also is not bug free, does not have support and is only for those OS's that cannot connect to older servers 0.4 versions or cannot build a 5.X version.

Engine vs Gameid

Minetest is a game, is composed of two artifact, the engine (the program that is generated from this sources) and the Gameid (the data files and logic for play minetest).

This sources and project only generated a program when compiling, each release of a minetest engine needs their corresponding "minetest_game" .. for this special sources you must those only compatibles like those:

Configuration files:

Its named minetest.conf and depending of the type of build of the running program minetest (the RUN_IN_PLACE, check compiling section), the loction are at:

  • Default location if you compiles as integrated in the OS: /etc/minetest/minetest.conf or <DESTDIR>/etc/minetest/minetest.conf
  • Otherwise For RUN_IN_PLACE It is created by Minetest at first run at: user/minetest.conf or bin/../minetest.conf and also bin/../../minetest.conf
  • A specific file can be specified on the command line: --config <path-to-file>

Command-line options:

Use --help and also consult the manpage at doc/minetest.6 or run man minetest if you have installed the program game (either or not of the gameid)

Paths

Locations:

  • bin - Compiled binaries to execute program
  • share - Distributed read-only data
  • user - User-created modifiable data

Where each location is on each platform:

  • Other OS's or with RUN_IN_PLACE build of the program:
    • bin = bin
    • share = .
    • user = .
    • worlds = worlds
  • Linux but without RUN_IN_PLACE build of the program:
    • bin = /usr/bin
    • share = /usr/share/minetest
    • user = ~/.minetest
    • worlds = ~/.minetest/worlds/
  • MacOS using Brew builds:
    • bin = Contents/MacOS
    • share = Contents/Resources
    • user = Contents/User or ~/Library/Application Support/minetest
    • worlds = ~/Library/Application Support/minetest/worlds

Download

This is an archived project so there's only one way to download sources, by git usage, download source, by example this is original at https://github.com/luk3yx/minetest.git and download minetest_game (otherwise only the "Minimal development test" game is available), of course if you already have the sources downloaded you can bypass and skip these steps:

cd ~
mkdir -p ~/Devel
cd ~/Devel
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/minenux/minetest-engine-luk3yx
cd ~/Devel/minetest
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/luk3yx/minetest_game.git games/minetest_game

Build

As we said there's two buid types, the "RUN_IN_PLACE" and the integrated into the OS, so to build a version that runs directly from the source directory or any DESTDIR directory where the binary compiled program minetest are.. just do:

cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=TRUE
make -j <number of processors>

And later you can run it (RUN_IN_PLACE mode) as:

./bin/minetest

For other ways to compile, remove the RUN_IN_PLACE set and check these others options:

  • Use cmake . -LH to see all CMake options and their current state
  • If you want to install it system-wide (or are making a distribution package), you will want to use -DRUN_IN_PLACE=FALSE
  • You can build a bare server by specifying -DBUILD_SERVER=TRUE
  • You can disable the client build by specifying -DBUILD_CLIENT=FALSE
  • You can select between Release and Debug build by -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<Debug or Release>
    • Debug build is slower, but gives much more useful output in a debugger
  • If you build a bare server, you don't need to have Irrlicht installed.
    • In that case use -DIRRLICHT_SOURCE_DIR=/the/irrlicht/source

Docker ("stock" Minetest)

Original oficial Minetest provides Minetest server docker images using the Gitlab mirror registry, but today those are not availables..

Images are built on each commit and available using the following tag scheme:

  • registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:latest (latest build)
  • registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:<branch/tag> (current branch or current tag)
  • registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:<commit-id> (current commit id)

If you want to test it on a docker server, you can easily run: docker run registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:<docker tag>

If you want to use it in a production environment you should use volumes bound to the docker host to persist data and modify the configuration:

sudo docker create -v /home/minetest/data/:/var/lib/minetest/ -v /home/minetest/conf/:/etc/minetest/ registry.gitlab.com/minetest/minetest/server:master

Data will be written to /home/minetest/data on the host, and configuration will be read from /home/minetest/conf/minetest.conf.

You can also host your minetest server inside a Kubernetes cluster. See our example implementation in misc/kubernetes.yml.

Version scheme

Minetest uses major.minor.patch since 5.0.0-dev, but minetest-engine-luk3yx currently uses 0.4.major.minor, as was on minetest 0.4.

Minetest from MinenuX VenenuX project uses mayor.minor.patch as 0.4 becomes MT4.
