Mod

Un esempio di un mod (qui: Mesecons).

I mod (abbreviazione per modifiche o moduli) sono modifiche per il gioco create dagli utenti in modo tale da arricchire o cambiare l'esperienza di gioco.

Alcuni mod più grandi possono aggiungere un sacco di contenuti al gioco, mentre altri mod più piccoli possono aggiungere più opzioni per le impostazioni/la personalizzazione, o ottimizzare la velocità, l'esperienza di gioco, o la grafica di Minetest.

I mod o plugin per Server principalmente forniscono agli/alle amministratori/trici dei server più opzioni e ne semplificano l'utilizzo, e tutti i mod per la modalità di gioco locale possono essere usati anche per la modalità di gioco in rete multiutente.

Sebbene i mod di Minetest siano generalmente installabili in sicurezza, con i mod si dovrebbe avere cautela per evitare crash, instabilità di sistema, cancellazione di giochi/dati salvati, o potenziali infezioni malware da un link maligno o dal mod stesso.

Un buon metodo per proteggere il vostro gioco da tali problemi è quello di fare una copia di sicurezza della vostra cartella di Minetest se scegliete di usare mod.

Ci sono molti mod o plugin disponibili per completare il Minetest game originale o fornire agli/alle amministratori/trici di server più opzioni e controllo sui loro server.

Modpacks

A modpack (short: “MP”) is a collection of mods to group them together. Basically, a modpack is just special directory containing the actual mod directories.

It's purely a logical grouping and is done mostly for convenience and to group closely-related mods together. The main difference is that they will be displayed differently in the mod manager in Minetest.

Apart from that, there is nothing special about modpacks or mods inside a modpack. Individual mods in a modpack can still be enabled and disabled as if they were standalone mods.

Client-Side Mods

A Client-Side Mod (short: “CSM”) is a mod used to customize your Minetest client. Client-Side Mods can be used when connected to a Minetest server because they are loaded locally.

Client-Side mods require at least Minetest 0.4.15-dev from sources, compiled after April 1st, 2017.

Please note API is currently not stable and can change.

Creating mods

Mods are created in Lua, a relativiely simple scripting/programming language. They can be created by anyone who is able to code in Lua and understands Minetest's Lua API.

The official Lua API documentation can be viewed in lua_api.txt.

• Minetest Modding Online Tutorial Book (Highly recommended)
• Intro to modding (on the developer wiki)

Listing server mods

If you’re on a server, you can issue the server command /mods to query the server to tell you the list of its installed mods.
