# Map Tools
|
||
|
||
Map Tools for [Minetest](https://www.minetest.net/), a free and open source infinite
|
||
world block sandbox game.
|
||
|
||
[**Forum topic**](https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1882)
|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
### Download the mod
|
||
|
||
To install Map Tools, clone this Git repository into your Minetest's `mods/`
|
||
directory:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
git clone https://github.com/minetest-mods/maptools.git
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can also
|
||
[download a ZIP archive](https://github.com/minetest-mods/maptools/archive/master.zip)
|
||
of Map Tools. If you do so, you will need to extract the archive, then rename
|
||
the resulting folder from `maptools-master` to `maptools` – this is
|
||
**absolutely** necessary to do, else, it won't work!
|
||
|
||
### Enable the mod
|
||
|
||
Once you have installed Map Tools, you need to enable it in Minetest.
|
||
The procedure is as follows:
|
||
|
||
#### Using the client's main menu
|
||
|
||
This is the easiest way to enable Map Tools when playing in singleplayer
|
||
(or on a server hosted from a client).
|
||
|
||
1. Start Minetest and switch to the **Local Game** tab.
|
||
2. Select the world you want to enable Map Tools in.
|
||
3. Click **Configure**, then enable `maptools` by double-clicking it
|
||
(or ticking the **Enabled** checkbox).
|
||
4. Save the changes, then start a game on the world you enabled Map Tools on.
|
||
5. Map Tools should now be running on your world.
|
||
|
||
#### Using a text editor
|
||
|
||
This is the recommended way to enable the mod on a server without using a GUI.
|
||
|
||
1. Make sure Minetest is not currently running (else, it will overwrite
|
||
the changes when exiting).
|
||
2. Open the world's `world.mt` file using a text editor.
|
||
3. Add the following line at the end of the file:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
load_mod_maptools = true
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If the line is already present in the file, then replace `false` with `true` on that line.
|
||
|
||
4. Save the file, then start a game on the world you enabled Map Tools on.
|
||
5. Map Tools should now be running on your world.
|
||
|
||
## Version compatibility
|
||
|
||
Map Tools is currently primarily tested with Minetest 0.4.16.
|
||
It may or may not work with newer or older versions. Issues arising in older
|
||
versions than 0.4.16 will generally not be fixed.
