About

Voxelands is a sandbox construction game based on Minetest 0.3, which was inspired by earlier "voxel world" games such as Infiniminer. Gameplay puts players in a fully destructible 3D game world where they can place and dig numerous types of blocks, items and creatures using a variety of tools. Inside the game world players can build structures, artworks and anything else their creativity can think of on multiplayer servers and singleplayer worlds across multiple game modes.

sudo apt install build-essential libirrlicht-dev cmake libbz2-dev zlib1g-dev libfreetype6-dev libpng-dev libjpeg-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev libxxf86vm-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libsqlite3-dev libxml2-dev

You can install Git for easily keeping your copy up-to-date. If you don’t want Git, read below on how to get the source without Git.

Download source (this is the URL to the latest of source repository, which might not work at all times) using Git:

git clone https://git.minetest.land/oerkki/voxelands.git
cd voxelands

Download source, without using Git:

wget https://git.minetest.land/oerkki/voxelands/archive/master.tar.gz
tar xf master.tar.gz
cd voxelands

Build

Build a version that runs directly from the source directory:

cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=TRUE
make -j$(nproc)
  • Use cmake . -LH to see all CMake options and their current state.
  • If you want to install it system-wide (or are making a distribution package), you will want to use -DRUN_IN_PLACE=FALSE.
  • You can build a bare server by specifying -DBUILD_SERVER=TRUE.
  • You can disable the client build by specifying -DBUILD_CLIENT=FALSE.
  • You can select between Release and Debug build by -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<Debug or Release>.
    • Debug build is slower, but gives much more useful output in a debugger.

Errors

Some buildings errors are currently known. If the building occured an error, it might be one of them:

Crash when building with translation.

Error :

[  2%] Linking CXX static library libcguittfont.a
[  2%] Built target cguittfont
make: *** [Makefile:152 : all] Erreur 2

Git issue: #19

Possible fixes:

  1. Change your default build language to english: (Add the sudo keyword for ubuntu-based devices) apt-get install language-pack-en dpkg-reconfigure locales

  2. Delete translations files by simply deleting the po folder.

The -DRUN_IN_PLACE CMake option doesn't work.

Git issue: #19

This error is fixed since the version 2404 of Voxelands. If you get them, check if the dowloaded version is the good one.

Use

Simply run ./bin/voxelands from any console/terminal.
