=============================
-Minetest World Format 22...27
+Minetest World Format 22...29
=============================
This applies to a world format carrying the block serialization version
- 0.4.0 (23)
- 24 was never released as stable and existed for ~2 days
- 27 was added in 0.4.15-dev
+- 29 was added in 5.5.0-dev
The block serialization version does not fully specify every aspect of this
format; if compliance with this format is to be checked, it needs to be
done by detecting if the files and data indeed follows it.
-Legacy stuff
-=============
-Data can, in theory, be contained in the flat file directory structure
-described below in Version 17, but it is not officially supported. Also you
-may stumble upon all kinds of oddities in not-so-recent formats.
-
Files
======
Everything is contained in a directory, the name of which is freeform, but
backend = sqlite3 - which DB backend to use for blocks (sqlite3, dummy, leveldb, redis, postgresql)
player_backend = sqlite3 - which DB backend to use for player data
readonly_backend = sqlite3 - optionally readonly seed DB (DB file _must_ be located in "readonly" subfolder)
+ auth_backend = files - which DB backend to use for authentication data
server_announce = false - whether the server is publicly announced or not
load_mod_<mod> = false - whether <mod> is to be loaded in this world
- auth_backend = files - which DB backend to use for authentication data
+
+For load_mod_<mod>, the possible values are:
+
+* `false` - Do not load the mod.
+* `true` - Load the mod from wherever it is found (may cause conflicts if the same mod appears also in some other place).
+* `mods/modpack/moddir` - Relative path to the mod
+ * Must be one of the following:
+ * `mods/`: mods in the user path's mods folder (ex `/home/user/.minetest/mods`)
+ * `share/`: mods in the share's mods folder (ex: `/usr/share/minetest/mods`)
+ * `/path/to/env`: you can use absolute paths to mods inside folders specified with the `MINETEST_MOD_PATH` env variable.
+ * Other locations and absolute paths are not supported
+ * Note that `moddir` is the directory name, not the mod name specified in mod.conf.
+
+PostgreSQL backend specific settings:
+ pgsql_connection = host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 user=mt_user password=mt_password dbname=minetest
+ pgsql_player_connection = (same parameters as above)
+ pgsql_readonly_connection = (same parameters as above)
+ pgsql_auth_connection = (same parameters as above)
+
+Redis backend specific settings:
+ redis_address = 127.0.0.1 - Redis server address
+ redis_hash = foo - Database hash
+ redis_port = 6379 - (optional) connection port
+ redis_password = hunter2 - (optional) server password
+
Player File Format
===================
NOTE: Byte order is MSB first (big-endian).
NOTE: Zlib data is in such a format that Python's zlib at least can
directly decompress.
+NOTE: Since version 29 zstd is used instead of zlib. In addition the entire
+ block is first serialized and then compressed (except the version byte).
u8 version
- map format version number, see serialisation.h for the latest number
then Minetest will correct lighting in the day light bank when
the block at (1, 0, 0) is also loaded.
+if map format version >= 29:
+ u32 timestamp
+ - Timestamp when last saved, as seconds from starting the game.
+ - 0xffffffff = invalid/unknown timestamp, nothing should be done with the time
+ difference when loaded

+ - Should be zero for map format version 29.

-==============================================
-Minetest World Format used as of 2011-05 or so
-==============================================
-
-Map data serialization format version 17.
-
-0.3.1 does not use this format, but a more recent one. This exists here for
-historical reasons.
-
-Directory structure:
-sectors/XXXXZZZZ or sectors2/XXX/ZZZ
-XXXX, ZZZZ, XXX and ZZZ being the hexadecimal X and Z coordinates.
-Under these, the block files are stored, called YYYY.
-
-There also exists files map_meta.txt and chunk_meta, that are used by the
-generator. If they are not found or invalid, the generator will currently
-behave quite strangely.
-
-The MapBlock file format (sectors2/XXX/ZZZ/YYYY):
--------------------------------------------------
-
-NOTE: Byte order is MSB first.
-
-u8 version
-- map format version number, this one is version 17
-
-u8 flags
-- Flag bitmasks:
- - 0x01: is_underground: Should be set to 0 if there will be no light
- obstructions above the block. If/when sunlight of a block is updated and
- there is no block above it, this value is checked for determining whether
- sunlight comes from the top.
- - 0x02: day_night_differs: Whether the lighting of the block is different on
- day and night. Only blocks that have this bit set are updated when day
- transforms to night.
- - 0x04: lighting_expired: If true, lighting is invalid and should be updated.
- If you can't calculate lighting in your generator properly, you could try
- setting this 1 to everything and setting the uppermost block in every
- sector as is_underground=0. I am quite sure it doesn't work properly,
- though.
-
-zlib-compressed map data:
-- content:
- u8[4096]: content types

-
-u16 mapblockobject_count

-- if read != 0, just fail.
-
