-This is a collection of some '''frequently asked questions''' about Minetest. For technical problems, refer to [[Troubleshooting]].
+[https://dev.luanti.org/faq/ This page has moved to the Luanti Developer Wiki]
-== General ==
-=== Where can I ask questions? ===
-In [http://minetest.net/irc IRC] and the [https://forum.minetest.net/ Forum]. It is recommended to search the archives, most questions were probably answered before.
-=== How to install mods and texture packs? ===
-See [[Installing_Mods|Installing Mods]] and [[Texture_Packs|Texture Packs]].
-=== What are the different game modes and how do I install them? ===
-On a new install you should have “Minetest [minetest_game]” that is the main game, if you don't have it download it form [https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game github]. “Minimal development test” is just for developers and is not intended to be playable. You can find several other game modes in the forum. To install them extract the pack and rename the folder to the name of the game (e.g. “minetest_game-master” to “minetest_game”), then copy the folder to the games folder.
-=== How do I update Minetest? ===
-The easiest way is just to download the newest version and move your worlds and mods to the new version. Depending on you operating system there are other ways too. When using git you can clone the repository and pull and compile every time you want to update.
-=== How do I get the multiplayer account? ===
-There is no globally valid multiplayer account in Minetest. For each server you can use a different name and password. The “account” is created at first login. This way only you can access your player and inventory on that particular server. Also you can always play offline with no need for any login.
-== Servers ==
-=== How do I use command XYZ? ===
-''See [[Server commands]].''
-== Gameplay ==
-=== General ===
-==== How big is the [[map]]? ====
-As of 0.4.7, the map is a cube with a side length of 61840 [[Nodes|node]] lengths. The map has thus a volume equal to the volume of 61840<sup>3</sup> nodes = 236,487,637,504,000 nodes.
-The coordinates range from −30912 to 30927 in all dimensions.
-''See also [[Coordinates]].''
-==== How to find my house again? ====
-Minetest automatically generates a file called “debug.txt” in minetest/bin where you can see lots of text. Scroll down to its end and look for something like
- singleplayer digs node * […]
-Try to teleport to the positions you see in these lines until you find your home:
- /teleport x,y,z
-''see also: [[Server commands#Player actions]]
-=== [[Vanilla Minetest game]] ===
-==== How to craft XYZ? ====
-See [[Crafting|Crafting]]. Or install a [https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=5564 craft guide].
-==== Are there any mobs? ====
-No. Is is [https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=6161 unlikely] that they get added in the near future. But there are [[mods]] to add mobs.
-==== Why don’t I find any dungeons/jungles? ====
-They are disabled by default. You can enable them by adding “v6_jungles, dungeons” to mg_flags in you minetest.conf. That will enable them for ''new'' worlds. Try digging down or looking for large holes in the ground.
-==== How do I open or close [[door]]s? ====
-You need to right click instead of left click to open doors as of 0.4.5.
-=== For Minecraft players ===
-==== Is there a crafting bench? ====
-In the vanilla Minetest game: No. And you don’t need one. You already have a 3×3 crafting grid in your [[inventory menu]] (→[[Crafting#Crafting_grid_and_output_slot]]).
-But there are mods that add a crafting bench.
-==== How can I make Minetest be like Minecraft? ====
-You can use the [https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=2589 Minitest] [[Games|game]].
-== Technical problems ==
-=== I have a technical problem, how to fix this? ===
-See [[Troubleshooting]].
-=== I get an error or warning message, what does it mean? ===
-See [[Troubleshooting#Error messages without crashes]].
