minetools

Project minetools has several small utilities to manage a Minetest server from the command line.

This is a work in progress.

contentdb

Command contentdb can be used to download mods from https://content.minetest.net and install them into a local mods folder.

To install the contentdb cli, you need a working Go (> 1.16) toolchain:

git clone https://github.com/ronoaldo/minetools
go install ./minetools/cmd/contentdb

Usage

To get the online help with all parameters, run

contentdb --help

To search for content, use the search subcommand:

contentdb search mesecons

To install a mod/modpack, use the install subcommand:

contentdb install mod rubenwardy/sfinv

Or alternativelly, specify a specific release to install:

contentdb install mod rubenwardy/sfinv@52

To update all mods in the mods folder (including those installed with git!), use the update subdommand:

contentdb update

You can check what would be updated by running:

contentdb update --dry-run
