Modding

Installing mods for Mineclonia is generally no different from installing mods for any other Luanti game; see Installing Mods.

When looking for mods that support Mineclonia on ContentDB (either through the website or inside the built-in Luanti content browser), searching for terms such as the following can help:

  • mineclonia, mcla (unique shorthand form for MineCLoniA);

  • mineclone2, mineclone, mcl, mcl2 (as Mineclonia forked off of VoxeLibre back when it was MineClone 2);

  • voxelibre, vl (as a lot of simple mods made for VoxeLibre will still work with Mineclonia).

ContentDB can also filter for all content that declares Mineclonia as a supported game, as well as packages the algorithms think support it; see Community Hub — Mineclonia by rynvf.

When unsure, enable mod(pack)s on your world one-by-one and check if any of them introduces a crash or misses a dependency (in case you’re installing content manually).

If a mod(pack) from ContentDB misses a dependency like default, player_api, mobs or similar (not prefixed with mcl_), it means that it was made for Minetest Game and its modding ecosystem and is not adapted for Mineclonia. If only default is missing, you could try installing cora’s default_lite, but it’s not guaranteed to work. The best approach is to either look for an alternative that supports Mineclonia, or ask the mod author(s) to implement such support.
