Minetest Split Screen Howto
Want to run multiplayer split-screen Minetest on a single computer?
This repo shares our scripts for doing that as well as our controller setups.
Our Setup
- A computer running Linux (we use Fedora).
- ... connected to television or other large screen.
- A standard keyboard/mouse setup (we use a Thinkpad bluetooth keyboard).
- A Logitech F310 wired game controller.
- A Logitech F710 wireless game controller.
(Other controllers should work too)
Brief Howto
- Ensure controllers are in "X" mode (physical switch on the back).
- Configure your controllers using xboxdrv (we do this at boot).
- Log into IceWM desktop (Gnome, even on Xorg rather than Wayland does not work)
- Run our
mt2.sh
script. It does the following:- Launch two instances of minetest.
- Use "xinput" to configure a mouse/keyboard combo for each controller.
- Map each of the virual mouse/keyboards to one of the minetest windows.
- Resize the two windows side-by-side.
- Use the regular keyboard/mouse to change usernames, select server, connect, etc.
Howto install

dnf install minetest xdotool icewm xboxdrv
