Notes

The Full Changelog can be Seen Here

Minetest, the Minecraft-like voxel game engine (and a basic game that is included) has a major new version out with Minetest 5.4.0 and is worth a second go.



As we've mentioned during the Release Candidate stage of the release, this version makes it easier to modify small mod packs, as well as whole games. Minetest used to allow users to browse and download mods directly from the game. However, it now also downloads all dependencies mods need which makes it much simpler to find what you need and then load it into the game. No more downloading one mod, and then searching for every single piece of information it requires.



The built-in base game "Minetest Game" also went through a few enhancements. Although it is quite basic but it can be used to showcase the engine as well as to add mods. With Minetest 5.4.0 it now has crafting guides, 5 additional wood types and environmental sounds for lava and active furnaces, as well as new translations and numerous bug fixes. It continues to grow slowly and steadily into something that is a bit bigger from the box.

Other options include the ability to change the cross-hair when you point at objects the ability to freely bind mouse buttons and name tags for players are now semi-transparent backgrounds as well as a caverns feature to generate flat maps, and the 'place’ and 'fig keys can be freely set. There are a variety of bugs that have been fixed, such as the inability of players to gain access to the inventories of other players.
