Worlds

What is a Map?

A Map is a world who contains an environment and/or building(s).

Installation

To install maps : you have to extract them first - most of them are in .zip, some of them can be in .rar or .tar.gz format. To extract .tar.gz and .rar files on Windows, you need 7-Zip.

Put the extracted files in the "worlds" folder of your Minetest installation folder. The files such as env_meta.txt must be directly in the world's folder (eg. worlds/my_world/env_meta.txt).

Often, the compressed file also contains a "mods" folder, his files have to be put into your "Mods" folder to show some additional blocks.
