Installing Texture Packs

The following explanations assume that you have a minetest version like the one you find on this page: http://minetest.net/download
Download the texture pack. If it is zipped (it probably is), unzip it and move the folder from within the archive to one of the following locations.

Windows 5 (XP) - 8

You will find a folder called textures in your minetest base folder. Place the texture pack there.

Linux (tested in Ubuntu, but probably is the same for most distributions)

You have (at least) two possibilities to add texturepacks:

• To add it for all users, place the texture pack in /usr/share/minetest; you will need root access for that.
• It might just be enough for you to use the texture pack yourself, so put it in ~/.minetest (so ~ is your home directory and .minetest means it is a hidden folder within your home directory - you might have to access it by pasting this path to your directory browser's adress bar)

Start Minetest and select a new style in the Textures tab!
