Once a server is started, it should create world files, and refresh them to add configuration lines with the available mods in the world.mt file.
#Minetest 0.4.10 mod
Mod activation is not a general server setup, but a world setup.
#Minetest 0.4.10 install
If you need to install mods which aren't packaged yet in Debian (for instance, mobs_animal and mobs_monster), you can add them in the /var/games/minetest-server/.minetest/mods directory (create it if needed). You can install the packages you want from the available mods.

You can start multiple servers with different configurations by using systemd's template unit feature. Check whether its running (or why it doesn't start) with All log files are written to /var/log/minetest. You can do all the configuration in /etc/minetest/nf. The home directory of this user is /var/games/minetest-server. Since version 0.4.10+repack-3 the Debian minetest-server package automatically creates a system-wide, unprivileged user called Debian-minetest. Systemd is the default and currently prefered solution to manage services on Debian. # apt install -t buster-backports minetest-server Then install the minetest packages you need from it. Since most servers probably use the newest versions, and players too, the version from the backports comes as a natural choice.įirst, add the Backrpots repositories as explained on Debian Wiki. The two versions are not compatible, and installing both version on the same system would be tricky.
