This page describes how development of minetest_game is done.
Direction
- Ensure balanced gameplay while still adding new and useful items/nodes/etc.
- No changes to the basic concepts (e.g. workbench won't get added)
- No additions that are decided to be too much (e.g. adding homedecor in its entirety)
- Focus on stability and completeness (no half-finished stuff)
- Improve/add API to allow mods to extend the base features (e.g. API for new crops for farming)
Note: To prevent problems with the development like before minetest_game is maintained by only five people (BlockMen, sfan5, nore, PilzAdam, ShadowNinja).
Maintainer rules
- Pulls are never merged with 'git merge', merge them with 'git am' (like in minetest)
- Fixes can be pushed by every maintainer
- History rewrite only within 10 minutes (notice the other maintainers before doin)
- New features will only go in if 50% of present maintainers (min. 2) agree to the feature
- Heavy game changes (e.g. a workbench) don't go in if one maintainer votes against
- The previous rule also applies to new maintainers
- Official channel for development is #minetest-dev
Commit guidelines
- Commit messages begin with a capital letter and are in the present tense
- Squash similar commits before pushing
- Notice other maintainers before you push something
