Fin
Luanti was previously called Minetest, so you will still see that name in some folders.
Connect
Copy the address from the Connect card on the Overview page. In Luanti, open the Join Game tab and enter the address and port separately. Choose a name and password, then press Register.
Your server is also announced to the public server list unless you turn off Show in server list in Settings > Startup.
Upload a world
- Stop the server on the Console page.
- Zip your world folder and upload it to
.minetest/worldson the Files page. - Unarchive it and set World name in Settings > Startup to the folder name.
- Start the server.
The world must use a game that is installed on the server.
Install mods and games
Upload mod folders to .minetest/mods. Then turn each one on by adding this line to world.mt in your world folder, and restart:
load_mod_modname = true
For a different game from ContentDB, use Community game name and Community game author in Settings > Startup, then set Game name once the game has been installed. These are case sensitive. Installing a new game may need a reinstall from Settings > Danger zone, so take a backup first.
Make yourself an admin
Put your in-game name in Name of the admin player in Settings > Startup and restart. Join with that exact name and you have full control. You can give other people privileges in game:
/grant PlayerName kick,ban
Where the settings are
- Settings > Startup: server name, description, password, world and game.
- Players: every account, plus staff and bans.
- Live Map: see your world in the browser.
