Configuration

• Migration from old package

• You can’t migrate directly with an update.

  • Before installing the new package you need to download this folder from your server /var/games/minetest-server/.minetest/worlds/world (this folder contains all world data)
  • Uninstall the old package sudo yunohost app remove minetest
  • Install the new one sudo yunohost app install https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/minetest_ynh
  • Stop Minetest service sudo systemctl stop minetest
  • Copy the folder you have copied before in __DATA_DIR__/.minetest/worlds
  • Start the Minetest service sudo systemctl start minetest

• Installing mods

  • For installing mods you need to create a worldmods folder in __DATA_DIR__/.minetest/worlds/world/
  • Clone the repo of the mod in this folder (ex: git clone https://github.com/minetest-mods/mesecons)
  • Edit __DATA_DIR__/.minetest/worlds/world/world.mt and add at the end load_mod_mesecons = true
  • Restart Minetest with sudo systemctl restart minetest
  • The mod is now installed :)
