@brainblasted @switchingsocial @cathal there are a list of popular mods on the website and on the homepage and here: https://content.minetest.net

You can also try out servers and games for curated content

Note that minetest is a game engine and has no default gameplay, but does come with a default prepackaged game

@drequivalent @switchingsocial yes, it's bad. But none of the suggestions are any good, and changing the name would break SEO

@keiyakins @switchingsocial the default game sucks intentionally, as you are meant to mod it.

There are quite a few more complete games though: https://content.minetest.net/packages/?type=game&order=desc&sort=score

The forums and wikis are now back online. @celeron55@twitter.com explains the recent downtime here: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=22343

@tdannecy btw, this post is a poll with the options: "Yes, please", "I don't mind", "No, I dislike it", and "No, I may unfollow it".

In another reply to this thread, someone suggest removing all the Twitter crap. Would a form like this be ok?

CONTENT WITH ONLY DIRECT LINKS

@rtwx This is a good idea if it is to remain, it annoys me too. I should probably just do the really good ones manually

Quick poll: should this account continue to cross-post relevant retweets from Twitter?

@vk

Options 2 and 3) require the user to opt-in to allowing your mod to escape the mod security sandbox. Look for minetest.request_insecure_environment()

The IRC mod shows an example of how to include and use sockets.

For Option 3, you'd do this:

local ie = minetest.require_insecure_environment()
ie.os.execute("path/to/program")

Explaining this is on my to do list for the book!
