Minetest Wiki:Policy

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”).

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 20² to 160² pixels.

It is advised to create a unique version of 160². If you use a 16² image, browsers will scale up the image using interpolation and the result will not look very clean.

Create images by extracting the 16² version available in the GitHub repository and scale them to 160². 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 64².

Game screenshots

Please use PNG for screenshots, not JPEG as it provides lossy compression.
