Introduction

Welcome

Minetest uses Lua scripts to provide modding support. This online book aims to teach you how to create your own mods, starting from the basics.

What you will need

• A Code Editor. Talked about in the Lua Scripts chapter.
• A copy of Minetest in the 0.4 series. (eg: 0.4.13)
• The ability to work independently, without pestering other developers to write your code for you.
• Motivation to keep trying when things go wrong.

So, go on then.

Start reading. Use the navigation bar on the left (or on the top on mobiles) to open a chapter.

• GitHub.
• Download for offline use.
• Forum Topic.
