WorstBlockGame

Requirements

• For playing:
  • Minetest 5.3.0
• For building:
  • some modern linux distro (yeah sorry, windows people gotta ask someone to build it for them)
  • zsh
  • git
  • moonscript
  • Minetest_Game 5.3.0

Building

• clone the repo, cd into the folder
• run MTG_PATH=/path/to/your/copy/of/minetest_game ./build.sh
• symlink the folder into your minetest games folder

for example, on a recent debian:

git clone https://gitlab.com/worstconcept/worstblockgame.git
cd worstblockgame
MTG_PATH=/usr/share/games/minetest/games/minetest_game ./build.sh
mkdir -p ~/.minetest/games
ln -s $(pwd) ~/.minetest/games

Playing

run minetest, select WorstBlockGame, create a map with the following settings:

• Name: just pick a nice one
• Seed: some random number
• Mapgen: v7
• Game: WorstBlockGame, duh.
• Mapgen flags:
  • [x] Caves
  • [x] Dungeons
  • [x] Decorations
• Mapgen-specific flags:
  • [x] Caverns
  • [x] Rivers
  • [x] Mountains
  • [ ] Floatlands

Then play the map.

Getting Started ingame:

• In your inventory (default [I]), on the "More" tab, there's a Crafting Guide which will learn recipes for any items you know (have or had in your inventory).
• There's also an award system (also a tab in your Inventory), which will first lead you through the basics, and then open up to have lots of achievements.
• There's a protection around the spawn area, so if you can't break any blocks there, just walk away a bit.
• Eat enough to get healed, also holding the Aux key (aka. special, default [E]) lets you run as long as you have stamina, but drains your satiation.
