What is a Map?
A Map is a world who contains an environment and/or building(s).
Installation
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 need 7-Zip.
Put the extracted files in the “worlds” folder of your Minetest installation folder. The files such as env_meta.txt must be directly in the world’s folder (eg. “worlds/my_world/env_meta.txt”).
Often, the compressed file also contains a “mods” folder, his files have to be put into your “mods” folder to show some additional blocks.
- Location of the
worlds(aka maps) folder within the folder structure of a run-in-place installation of Minetest, including some of the folders Minetest adds after some usage as client and server, as well as the positions (…) that custom-made content goes. Irrelevant folders are not expanded.
