  • Equal in terms of functionality and gameplay elements

Code Comparison

Both repositories contain identical code, so a comparison would show no differences. Here's a sample from the init.lua file in both repositories:

-- minetest/minetest_game/mods/default/init.lua
minetest.register_node("default:stone", {
    description = "Stone",
    tiles = {"default_stone.png"},
    groups = {cracky = 3, stone = 1},
    drop = "default:cobble",
    legacy_mineral = true,
    sounds = default.node_sound_stone_defaults(),
})

As the repositories are identical, there are no meaningful differences to highlight in the code comparison.

ContentDB

Minetest Game (abbreviated MTG) is a simple and peaceful sandbox game, with no real goals or built-in enemy mobs.

While it provides a basic gameplay experience out of the box, it is best played with mods.

Minetest Game is in perpetual maintenance-only mode, meaning it will not see new gameplay features or anything else that breaks compatibility (see #2710).

Installation

ContentDB

  • Content > Browse Online Content
  • Search for "Minetest Game"
  • Click Install

Manually

  • Unzip the archive, rename the folder to minetest_game and place it in .../minetest/games/

  • GNU/Linux: If you use a system-wide installation place it in ~/.minetest/games/.

The Luanti engine can be found at GitHub.

For further information or help, see: Installing Mods.

Compatibility

As of January 2024 Minetest Game follows a rolling release model with new changes being automatically published on ContentDB every day.

There are no stable releases or tags, all existing ones are considered legacy.
