I found a bunch of cool mods and cool servers that make it up to par with vanilla minecraft and maybe even up to par with modded minecraft. I have just a few questions, is it possible to change the way the third person camera operates? it looks a little weird to me and I was wondering if there's a way to make it more "minecrafty"

A menu rework and God rays are among the improvements on the road to the 5.8.0 release.

Notorious input lag (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

As in my other post (I think it is better to keep the posts separate because they are different problems) Minetest on Linux has a strange input lag in the mouse, it is not very big but it is very noticeable for a game like Minecraft, it gives me headaches when playing with that input lag.

I tried to activate the mouse "smoothing" and although I would say it helps a little, it doesn't really fix it, it just camouflages it and gives a weird sliding effect on the mouse.

As I already mentioned, this problem is exclusive of Minetest in Linux, in Windows I don't suffer from any problem.

I consider that these problems are Nvidia's propietary drivers fault, I was really investigating a lot this problem before posting this here but I didn't find anything, just some unrelated issues in Github.

Hi! I have been enjoying Minetest immensely these last few days but it is simply unplayable on my PC because it is unable to maintain a stable framerate, be it 30 or 60 fps. Sometimes when viewing giant block structures or sometimes at random times the FPS drops to 24 or less and I tried to lower the rendering distance (I think it's called differently) but although it does improve, it shouldn't be fixed if my PC is 100% capable of running it well, and in fact on Windows it runs beautifully.

Specs: RTX 3060, Ryzen 5 5600X, 16GB DDR4, SSD.

I thought it was a problem with my distro (Garuda Linux) so I installed another one (KDE Neon) and it's exactly the same, I also switched from X11 to Wayland and it's still the same, I honestly don't know why this happens but it's not hardware deficiency, also I tried the git version (via AUR), flaptak and snap, the problem persists,

In Windows it works perfectly without any problem, it runs great and with everything set to maximum but in Linux it is simply unplayable.

I would like to add something important, and it is that in Linux none of the compilations uses the GPU to the maximum, according to nvtop it is being used but in very little measure, and it seems that the CPU does everything.

I want to get things like server uptime and player count

Is it possible to run a command on the host though a mod? I know that could be a massive security risk.

I'm looking to build some houses but I want to have the sinks and light be powered off of a city main running under the street. Is this possible?

As seen in the image, in the past to download Mineclone2 I simply downloaded it from there, but I don't see it available anymore, is there a reason?

I already downloaded the .zip and placed it in $HOME/.minetest/mods and although it appears in the list of mods I can't use it.

There is a camel and some fences in the left, a stable in the front, and a bit to the right the unfinished house made of glass and wood.

Hello folks! If you're interested in playing some Minetest/Minecraft please check out my server. Its pretty much vanilla Minecraft (mineclone2) with a protection mod. :)
