Minetest README
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
`Minetest <https://www.minetest.net/>`_ is a `Minecraft <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft>`_-inspired creative/explorational building blocks game, written from scratch and licensed
|
|
under the LGPL (version 2.1 or later). It supports both survival and creative modes along with multiplayer support, dynamic lighting, and an "infinite" map generator.
|
|
|
|
The Minetest multiplayer server can be installed as part of Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) on Raspberry Pi (Raspbian), Ubuntu 18.04 and Debian 9 Stretch.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the initial configuration is for creative mode, and a number of mods are installed (see the list in `tasks/main.yml <tasks/main.yml>`_).
|
|
|
|
Connecting to the Server
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
To connect to the server, you will also need to download Minetest client software for each of your client devices, e.g. from: https://www.minetest.net/downloads/
|
|
|
|
The port is nominally the standard 30000. If necessary, change the ``minetest_port`` as explained below.
|
|
|
|
The admin user is the usual: ``Admin``
|
|
|
|
No password is required.
|
|
|
|
Configurable Parameters
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
If changes are necessary, please edit `/etc/iiab/local_vars.yml <https://wiki.iiab.io/go/FAQ#What_is_local_vars.yml_and_how_do_I_customize_it%3F>`_ (adding any variables that you need) prior to installation if possible:
|
|
|
|
- ``minetest_install:`` set Minetest up to install; default is False
|
|
- ``minetest_enabled:`` set Minetest up to be enabled; default is False
|
|
- ``minetest_port:`` port on which client should connect; default is 30000
|
|
- ``minetest_server_admin:`` user with all permissions on minetest server; default is Admin
|
|
|
|
- ``minetest_default_game:`` only carbone-ng and minetest are supported; default is `carbone-ng <https://github.com/Calinou/carbone-ng>`_
|
|
- ``minetest_flat_world:`` use a flat mapgen engine to lower computation on client; default is False
|
|
|
|
After installation, you can monitor the 'minetest-server' service with command::

|
|
systemctl status minetest-server
