Wiki rules
- Articles must be related to Minetest.
- The wiki is not a place to store personal content, images…
Mod and custom game guidelines
- Content from mods other than those in minetest_game is allowed, however the fact that the item is not in minetest_game and which mod it is from must be clearly stated.
- Mods that place content on this wiki should create a subpage under “Mods” (eg. “Mods/More_Blocks/Stone_Tile”), listing the blocks, items, commands, etc that the mod provides.
- If the mod is also part of a custom game, then the subpage should still be under “Mods”.
- If the mod is only part of a custom game and not distributed as a separate mod, then the subpage must be under “Games” (eg. “Games/Carbone/Commands”).
Contributing
Help improving this wiki. If you have some technical skills, you may also contribute to the development wiki.
Style
Blocks
3D blocks used in the wiki (ex. 
) are generated using Blender and the .blend file linked in this forum post created by Calinou.
Images are 150x150 PNGs and should have the front tile on the bottom-left face as in the game.
Items
Items (ex. 
) are displayed in the wiki as 2D images ranging from 20 × 20 to 160 × 160 pixels.
It is advised to create a unique version of 160 × 160. If you use a 16 × 16 image, browsers will scale up the image using interpolation and the result will not look very clean.
Create images by extracting the 16 × 16 version available in the GitHub repository and scale them to 160 × 160. Do not use scaling interpolation so that pixelized appearance is maintained. You can use GIMP for this task.
Note: currently many of the items are still 64 × 64.
