A Collection of Minetest Mods

This is a collection of mods as used by our personal minetest server. Each mod is either included as a git-submodule (preferred) or, if that is not possible, directly contained in this repository. Additionally, local modifications of certain modes (like disabling particular features) are included as separate patches in the patches directory. These can be applied with quilt push -a Before updating mods, unapply the patches with quilt pop -a. See also section on setting up git below.

Some standard extension mods are not included here, because they are shipped with Debian. Run the following command to satisfy these dependencies:

sudo apt install                    \
     minetest-mod-character-creator \
     minetest-mod-craftguide        \
     minetest-mod-currency          \
     minetest-mod-infinite-chest    \
     minetest-mod-intllib           \
     minetest-mod-torches           \
     minetest-mod-unified-inventory

Afterwards, use git to check out all submodules like so:

git submodule update --init

Then start minetest, edit world.mt to enable all wanted modules, and restart again. Enjoy! ☺

Setting up git hooks for remote updating

To automatically update a local copy of this git repository on updates, perform the following configuration

• Make the local copy update its worktree on push, instead of barfing:

  git config receive.denyCurrentBranch updateInstead
  

• When updating the worktree after push, first remove all patches, then update, then update all submodules, and then reapply all patches:

  cat <<SCRIPT > .git/hooks/push-to-checkout
  #!/bin/sh
  
  quilt pop -a
  git read-tree -u -m HEAD "$1"
  git submodule update --init
  quilt push -a
  chmod -R a+rX .
  SCRIPT
  chmod +x .git/hooks/push-to-checkout
