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. For this task, you can use one of the following:

• GIMP
• Pixel Resizer, created by MrIbby (requires Java 7 or higher)

Note: currently many of the items are still 64².

Screenshots

Please use PNG for screenshots, not JPEG (JPEG provides lossy compression).
