## Introduction
|
|
|
|
Minetest uses Lua scripts to provide modding support.
|
|
This book aims to teach you how to create your own mods, starting from the basics.
|
|
|
|
As well as [reading this book online](https://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book),
|
|
you can also [download it in PDF or HTML form](https://github.com/rubenwardy/minetest_modding_book/releases).
|
|
|
|
## What you will need
|
|
|
|
* A Code Editor. Talked about in the [Lua Scripts](chapters/lua.html#tools) chapter.
|
|
* A copy of Minetest in the 0.4 series. (eg: 0.4.13)
|
|
* Motivation to keep trying when things go wrong. You learn more when you work
|
|
something out yourself.
|
|
|
|
## So, go on then.
|
|
|
|
Start [learning about how to create a mod folder](chapters/folders.html), or use the navigation bar on
|
|
the left (or on the top on mobiles) to open a chapter.
