    Try running git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/minetest/irrlicht lib/irrlichtmt inside the minetest directory (instead of just git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/minetest/irrlicht). This will clone irrlicht on the proper location (I think).

    1 project | /r/nucleuscoop | 18 Apr 2023
    I downloaded the minecraft java edition game handler and modified the .js file to fit my game (minetest) before zipping it again and renaming the .zip file to .nc. Now when I want to extract the newly created handler to connect it to the game binary, it gets stuck at 100% extracting.

  • Loading Texture Packs Takes So Long?
    1 project | /r/Minetest | 18 Sep 2022
    GIMP saves large amounts of metadata by default. You can disable this in the "Export image as PNG" dialog but best would likely be to run your textures with optipng which losslessly optimises PNG images and removes this superfluous metadata. Minetest Game has a Bash script that runs optipng with the optimal settings on an entire directory recursively.
