Channels

Join one of our IRC channels on irc.freenode.net (click the “webchat” link if you don’t have an IRC client installed or have never heard of IRC before).

English

  • #minetest (webchat) (logs): Casual discussion about playing and having fun with Minetest and its mods, and related topics
  • #minetest-dev (logs): Only core engine development discussion about Minetest and, to some extent, Minetest Game, but not modding. Please stay on topic here! Note: Webchat is muted due to too much spam/flood
  • #minetest-hub (info) (logs): “A moderated channel for people who regularly improve Minetest by developing, modding, hosting servers and otherwise. (…) To request voice, please PM one of the channel ops.”

Other languages

Channels about Minetest in other languages (note that most people hang out on #minetest, which is the main channel):

Rules

Some people don't know how to behave in IRC, so here are some simple rules:

  • Don’t ask if you can ask questions, just ask
  • Be patient when you ask something, people might not be around
  • Don’t spam
  • Don’t flood the channel with messages or bot commands
  • Use a pastebin, such as 0bin if you want to post more than 4 lines (e.g. error messages or code)
  • Annoying, racist or any form of degrogatory term against any user or channel operator will probably get you quieted or even banned.
  • If you’re going to ask someone something, saying "please" goes a very long way.
  • The channels are not playgrounds and are frequently used for talks which are not off-topic.
  • Off-topic is allowed, but excessive use of it is disallowed.
  • Link shorteners are discouraged for URLs that are not very long.
