01:37 trisquelbeginner Hello minetest channel members, how do we get started in understanding the recipe in the inventory? for example: as a beginner, we are watching youtube videos and identifying the pattern to make a wooden axe., is there an in game help or a page where we will be able to learn the basic items that could be created?
01:42 clavii joined #minetest
01:43 diceLibrarian I need to talk to Landar about the user posing as both me and Hydramist
01:43 diceLibrarian I figured out who it is
01:43 trisquelbeginne1 joined #minetest
01:46 MTDiscord <PrairieWind> would it be kishi by any chance dice?
01:47 Oksanaa joined #minetest
01:47 diceLibrarian nope
01:47 diceLibrarian they impersonated Hydramist and Rubenwardy on another server
01:52 trisquelbeginne1 As a beginner to minetest, how do we understand the existing recipes that could be crafted? for example: currently seeing youtube videos on how to create an axe., is there a go to place or in game help explaining the recipes that could be crafted? please help.
01:52 MTDiscord <archfan7411> A craftguide mod may help you
01:53 MTDiscord <archfan7411> Such as https://content.minetest.net/packages/jp/craftguide/
01:53 DeepThgt <trisquelbeginne1>i personally like like using the Unified Inventory mod, it makes crafting items pretty easy
01:53 MTDiscord <archfan7411> Yeah, unified inventory is also popular
01:58 Zambyte joined #minetest
02:08 trisquelbeginne1 thanks for your quick response MTDiscord, is mod used to represent a module in minetest? or does it mean something else?
02:09 trisquelbeginne1 DeepThgt , we currently use i to get to the inventory, not sure how to access unified inventory mod
02:11 trisquelbeginne1 How to use the command /craft while playing the game? or How to enable the command prompt from within the game?
02:16 DeepThgt commands are input via the chat feature, "t" on the keyboard usually
02:16 DeepThgt and in regards to unified inventory, single player i assume?
02:16 DeepThgt if so, click "select mods" after you have highlited your world
02:17 DeepThgt then "Find more mods"
02:17 DeepThgt search for Unified Inventory
02:17 DeepThgt click the + symbol next to Unified Inventory
02:17 DeepThgt then after its installed, click "back to main menu"
02:18 DeepThgt then Unified Inventory should be in the column on the right. Double click it (it should turn green when properly enabled)
02:18 DeepThgt then click "save"
02:18 DeepThgt then click play game
02:19 DeepThgt now, unified inventory will replace the standard inventory in-game, accessible by pressing "i"
02:25 trisquelbeginne1 thanks a lot DeepThgt ., i did get to the command prompt after "t"., but /craft turned out to be an invalid command., let me read through the details that you provided and will follow., appreciate it!
02:25 DeepThgt ya wasnt sure on the /craft command myself...
02:25 DeepThgt all other commands are entered that way though
02:31 diceLibrarian that's the answer to Life, The Universe and Everything?
02:31 DeepThgt no, that is 42
02:31 diceLibrarian *What is
02:31 trisquelbeginne1 How do we access minetest.conf ? is it through the settings UI or console?
02:31 diceLibrarian the thing is, we don't know the question
02:31 diceLibrarian uhhhh
02:31 diceLibrarian it's through file manager
02:31 DeepThgt edit the file manually
02:31 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> Advanced settings is the GUI for minetest.conf
02:32 diceLibrarian nano ~/path/to/install/minetest.conf
02:32 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> (Main Menu > Settings > All Settings)
02:33 diceLibrarian you know what I wanna see? a program that installs itself in ~/path/to/install
02:33 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> To be clear, it is just a text file with a specific format
02:48 trisquelbeginne1 was able to search and find the file through the console., ../../usr/share/games/minetest/games/minetest_game/minetest.conf and one at ../../home/beginner/.minetest/minetest.conf
02:52 Blockhead256[m] trisquelbeginne1: the first one is for the minetest game. I'm not even sure why it's there, maybe game-specific configuration? I don't use it
02:52 Blockhead256[m] the second is the normal place to configure minetest.conf
02:53 trisquelbeginne1 in order to use the /craft command on the items to show the recipe(s) of the pointed node., should this additional row be appended to the minetest.conf file? "craftguide_progressive_mode=true" ? or are there any other steps to install the craft guide?
02:53 Trifton joined #minetest
02:53 Blockhead256[m] however please be aware that the in-game settings menu provides a GUI for almost anything you could put in minetest.conf, and editing the file directly is useful only in cases where you have no GUI or know exactly what you want to do
02:53 trisquelbeginne1 thanks Blockhead256., I do see few rows
02:54 trisquelbeginne1 I tried the settings UI ., but was not able to find a craftguide enable checkbox., probably need to check back again now
02:55 Blockhead256[m] you will usually find the settings for a specific Mod under the "Mods" section -> mod name
02:56 Blockhead256[m] the setting you are looking for should be available from the main menu under Settings Tab -> All Settings -> Content: Mods -> craftguide
03:00 trisquelbeginne1 I am able to see the following menu under All Settings (Controls, Graphics, Sound, Client, Server/Single Player, client and server, mapgen, online content repository, games) except Content: Mods
03:02 trisquelbeginne1 the search feature is pretty cool in All Settings page, but unable to get to Mods
03:02 Blockhead256[m] Hmm that sounds like you have no mods with configuragable settings installed. Have you correctly installed the craftguide mod? It is not included with the game.
03:03 Blockhead256[m] Additionally, the package you were linked previously is marked "deprecated" and so won't be available through the in-game installer. If you are after the `/craft` command specifically you will need to download and install the mod manually
03:04 trisquelbeginne1 No, I haven't. I am a beginner and one of my previous questions was to understand "What a mod is in minetest" and "how to learn the various recipie that could be crafted"., (currently searching youtube videos.,) ., I did get immediate response to read through the craftguide., and am here now trying to learn and install it
03:04 Blockhead256[m] Download this file: https://content.minetest.net/packages/jp/craftguide/releases/6625/download/
03:04 Blockhead256[m] then unzip it into ~/.minetest/mods
03:07 trisquelbeginne1 thanks a lot Blockhead256, currently reading https://wiki.minetest.net/Installing_Mods
03:08 Blockhead256[m] no problem, let me know if you need further help installing and configuring the mod

13:12 LeeLou Hi
13:12 LeeLou anyone who can help me?
13:13 Blockhead256[m] ask your question
13:13 LeeLou i need help with worldedit
13:13 Blockhead256[m] it has in-game help with /help
13:13 LeeLou yep i know
13:13 lissobone Češtař⛄️
13:13 lissobone What kind of help do you require?
13:13 LeeLou ok i tried landscaping with it like in Jeffries' tutorial
13:14 lissobone Do you need in-game assitance?
13:14 LeeLou but looks like he's using a wand that is no more existing
13:14 lissobone What kind of a wand?
13:14 LeeLou idk he is not telling in his video
13:15 lissobone How did it look?
13:15 LeeLou https://youtu.be/uqD2M04QHy0
13:15 LeeLou at 08:25 you'll see it
13:15 LeeLou it's a purple wand (looks like)
13:16 LeeLou and he can correct the landscape with it (closing holes in the map, etc)
13:16 Blockhead256[m] try /giveme worldedit:wand
13:16 lissobone If we can guess what WorldEdit version was that, you can use it instead, or even add that old wand to the current version.
13:16 lissobone There are 2 wands currently.
13:16 LeeLou the video is from 2 years ago
13:16 lissobone The Wand and also the Brush.
13:17 lissobone The Brush allows to bind certain commands to it and then execute them in the world by using the brush.
13:17 lissobone Maybe that's what you want.
13:17 LeeLou i'm really not an expert that's why i was seeking for help
13:17 Blockhead256[m] *allows one (allow needs an object)
13:18 lissobone Sure, allows one.
13:18 LeeLou i don't understand how to use the brush either
13:18 Blockhead256[m] it is episode 317 in a series, so maybe he set those brushes up earlier in the series?
13:18 LeeLou I usually use worldedit to create shapes
13:18 lissobone Just write `//brush <your worldedit command>'.
13:19 LeeLou no it's ep317 because he is also a big builder
13:19 LeeLou he made a lot of videos about minetest
13:19 LeeLou he's testing mods and so on
13:19 lissobone For instance, `//brush cube 5 5 5 stone'.  Correct me if I am wrong.
13:19 LeeLou this episode is only about how to landscape with worldedit but it's not clear for me and it looks like he is using something that is no more available
13:19 lissobone It will create a cube where the brush is pointing.
13:20 lissobone Did I upset him?
13:21 muurkha he probably closed the client by accident
13:21 muurkha or she
13:22 Guest33 joined #minetest
13:22 LeeLouu grr i've been disconnected
13:23 LeeLouu he is not creating cube, he is like "filling" with the node present at the same level
13:23 LeeLouu look at 06:50
13:23 LeeLouu if you take a look at how he is using his wand, it looks like he is correcting the level of the map
13:27 LeeLouu are you still here lissobone?
13:32 lissobone I am here, as usual.
13:33 lissobone Let me check the releases.
13:34 lissobone The oldest release corresponds to 2018-05-24.
13:35 lissobone Perhaps it's what you need.
13:35 lissobone Note: the old releases are always available at ContentDB.
13:35 kabou joined #minetest
13:36 LeeLouu ok so, where did you see that? on git?
13:39 LeeLouu ok, i found it
13:39 LeeLouu i've just read the comment section under the video
13:39 LeeLouu someone is talking about a different mod allowing that
13:39 LeeLouu then i search for this one and looks like the mod is provided with this exact same wand

20:05 RhineDevil Hi! mineclone2 or mineclone5 servers out there?
20:05 MTDiscord <ROllerozxa> many out there
20:05 MTDiscord <ROllerozxa> check the server list
20:06 RhineDevil MTDiscord: Where's kay27's server?
20:08 MTDiscord <ROllerozxa> most likely offline, considering it's not on the server list
20:08 MTDiscord <ROllerozxa> supposed to be available at kay27.mooo.com:30000 (survival) and kay27.mooo.com:30001 (creative) according to the forum thread though
20:09 MTDiscord <ROllerozxa> https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&amp;t=24888
20:10 RhineDevil MTDiscord: gotcha, thank you
20:23 MTDiscord <PrairieWind> it should be online
20:23 MTDiscord <PrairieWind> just not on the list
20:24 MTDiscord <PrairieWind> but it isnt very stable and keeps shutting down often
20:57 RhineDevil MTDiscord: a dns search on kay27.mooo.com says there's no domain here
