This project exists to provide a semi-trusted source of Minetest Mods. Mods here should be stable (at least in the master branches). All mods should work well together.
How is a Mod added?
The original author of the Mod should be the one submitting it to the minetest-mods project. Under circumstances (abandoned, author not responsive etc.) we will consider forks. To submit your project to be added and become the maintainer of a project, submit a new github issue here: Open Request
In your request, please provide the following information
- your mod name
- author (github username)
- the license(s) of your mod
By submitting a project, you acknowledge that you agree to the rules in the manifest
Can any Minetest mod be added?
- Mods should preferrably be licensed under an OSI approved license.
- Mods do not need to be minetest-licensing compatible (meaning, GPL3.0+ is fine)
- Non-OSI licenses may be acceptable.
- Public Domain is not defined well in many countries, so licenses such as WTFPL, MIT or CC0 should be used.
What's in it for users?
- A central place to find well-maintained mods.
- Clarity as to which fork is the recommended version of a mod.
- Well-defined mods with proper metadata that work without renaming and installation issues.
- The security of knowing many more developers are looking at mod code than just one person.
What's in it for developers?
- Knowing that they can take a break from Minetest when they need or choose to, and that someone will be capable of taking care of their mods.
- A large group of experienced mod developers that are willing to help out improve their code.
- More users looking at their mods and better exposure.
