Mapserver mod

If the mapserver-mod is installed and configured you get more realtime-data from within your minetest-world:

• Current players with their positions
• Current time and max lag

You can use the mapserver-mod either passive or active:

• Passive Makes some additional markers available (POI, etc)
• Active Communicates with the mapserver and sends realtime data (players, lag, time)

Installing and configuring the bridge-mod

The mod itself is available in the git repo or as a zip package in the releases

Active mode

The mod communicates via http with the mapserver. You need to configure the url and the secretkey in your minetest.conf

• Install the mapserver mod in your minetest instance
• Copy the secretkey from your mapserver.json (this is an autogenerated key)
• Enable http for the mapserver mod in your minetest.conf
• Configure your minetest.conf with the settings: mapserver.url and mapserver.key

Example config:

secure.http_mods = mapserver
mapserver.url = http://127.0.0.1:8080
mapserver.key = ZJoSpysiKGlYexof
