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. This can be changed in `/etc/iiab/local_vars.yml <http://wiki.laptop.org/go/IIAB/FAQ#What_is_local_vars.yml_and_how_do_I_customize_it.3F>`_ using variable: ``minetest_port``
|
|
|
|
The admin user is the usual: ``Admin``
|
|
|
|
No password is required.
|
|
|
