Updated to Gitea one dot twenty three
Lots of disk space added as well
One is compelled to say “whee-ee”
You'll agree that no ragequit is swell

There's no other git that is such a hit
Even non-git here is git
Here no repo is forgotten
Loss of code is verbotten

Welcome to the ultimate Minetest git site:

This site hosts over 11,000 git repos. Most of the repos are for Mine­test. However, we host other projects here for free as well.

You'll find Minetest mods here that have dis­ap­pear­ed else­where. We've also con­vert­ed non-git Minetest projects to git form so that you can git clone them.

In fact, we offer git copies of most Minetest projects — both git *and* non-git — that were in the Troll­test ContentDB between Christ­mas Day 2021 and Jan­u­ary 2025. Even the projects that are no longer online in the ContentDB or any­where else.

If you'd like to search for a ContentDB project here, note that the git user­names used here are usually based on the orig­inal git user­names. The ContentDB user­names may or may not work for searches.

As a bonus, a few rare Minetest files pre­vious­ly host­ed on Media­Fire and simlar sites are included here in git form.

There is no broader Mine­test git col­lec­tion on this or any other plane of exis­tence.

There are FOSS repos of other types here as well. You can store your own git repos here. It's free. Auto­ma­ted reg­istra­tion is dis­a­bled due to spam­mers but email the fol­low­ing address if you'd like an account:

It isn't pos­si­ble for our Minetest repos to be lost due to rage­quit. For exam­ple, in 2020, the migdyn repos were de­leted or moved to an unknown loca­tion, but they con­tinue to exist at:

https://git.minetest.io/migdyn

And VanessaE has re­tired. A tower­ing figure in more than one re­spect, one of the true ori­gin­a­tors of the project. She'll be miss­ed. VanessaE de­le­ted many of her repos in 2021. But you can see them here at:

https://git.minetest.io/vanessae

The code in old Minetest repos is often exper­i­mental or obso­lete. So, many of these repos can't be used dir­ect­ly. However, the code is a use­ful refer­ence for mod­ders work­ing on new features.

Final Minetest is being redone. Links to the new code will be add­ed here in due course.

Search that doesn't leave you in the lurch:

Use the navbar at the top to nav­i­gate. Note: This site sup­ports full-text search of source files.

Hold the phone, how to clone:

To clone a repo to your hard disk, use CLI com­mands of the fol­low­ing form:

git clone https://git.minetest.io/Treer/hidden_doors/

Note: You can use http instead of https. However, if you do so, a redir­ection warn­ing mes­sage will be print­ed.

You can also download a ZIP file or TAR.GZ tarball from a repo's web page. Look for the type of but­ton shown below. It's a down­load button:

For example, click on the sample hidden_doors link pro­vided fur­ther up and look for the but­ton there.

Name issues:

* The GitHub "minetest" account is called "minetest" here.

"minetest" accounts from non-GitHub sites have had upstream site identifiers added. So, for example, the "minetest" account from "gitgud" is named "minetest-gitgud" here, "minetest" from NotABug is named "minetest-notabug", etc.

* "notabug" lets usernames end with a period but "gitea" doesn't per­mit this. So, we've changed the user­name "y.st." locally to "y.st".

* "y.st" is the only username at this host which con­tains a period. For all other user­names, periods have been replaced with under­scores.

* Similarly, at Github, repo names can contain a period but "gitea" pro­hibits this. So, we've changed the repo name "auth_rx.wiki" to "auth_rx_wiki".

Other issues:

1. In September 2022, the main branch in each repo that re­fer­red to the branch as “main” was re­named at least tem­por­ar­ily to “master”. This was done to sim­pli­fy the import of other branch­es that had been miss­ed pre­vious­ly.

2. We're not certain that the following repo is valid:
https://git.minetest.io/Illuna-Minetest/minetest_game

The repo in question produced the following warning message on import:

warning in blob 81bb16b46edb67f6614169e42a6586b4eecc74db: gitmodulesParse: could not parse gitmodules blob

3. A small number of upstream repos [9 as of September 2022] couldn't be stored in their exact original form due to containing directories whose names were literal newlines. Those repos have been modified each with a commit to rename the “\n” directories to the letter “n”.

Note: The directories in question originated largely though not exclusively with HybridDog.
