Minetest

An open source voxel game engine. Play one of our many games, mod a game to your liking, make your own game, or play on a multiplayer server.

Stopping the server

For the server to be able to stop properly you have to give the admin/console user the permission server else you will have to kill the server and no date will be saved!

Console

The console is currently bugged. It does work but the startup message is messed up.

Rewrite

A special thank you to Tealk for helping me rewrite this egg.
