Scripts
Formspecs
- Minetest Formspec Editor: A great online tool with drag and drop that allows you to import and export formspecs in different versions
- Perlin noise tuner Visualizes 2D Perlin noise that Minetest will generate with different noiseparams. (Emulation of Minetest Perlin noise can be wrong in extremes/edge-cases due to precision of JavaScript number type)
Translation
- minetest_update_translations: Python script to create and update mod translation files (*.tr)
- minetest_check_translations: Python script to check mod translation files for syntax errors
Outdated translation scripts
- update_translations: Same as minetest_update_translations but older
- findtext.lua: Create mod translation template (buggy!) (see also)
- updatetext.lua: Update mod translation template (buggy!) (see also)
