📦️ LuCI - Luanti Commandline Interface

This Commandline Interface allows you to build CAD-Objects in luanti. For example the benchy from here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:763622. The game used to be called minetest, but now it's called luanti, so this description is a mixture of minetest and luanti.

It's depending on miney a python interface for luanti.

Usage

Getting help.

luci --help

Build a CAD-Object in the STL format with luci.

luci build --help
luci build data/some_stl_file.stl
# get all wool blocks
luci blocks --filter wool
# build object with green wool
luci build data/some_stl_file.stl --block-type wool:green
# scale by factor 2
luci build data/some_stl_file.stl --scale 2
# build object at exact position. Default is at the players position.
luci build data/some_stl_file.stl -x 100 -y 150 -z 50

Erase this CAD-Object.

luci erase --help
luci erase data/some_stl_file.stl
# erase scale by factor 2
luci erase data/some_stl_file.stl --scale 2

Installation

If you like to use luci you have to follow this steps.

1. Install luanti (see here: https://www.luanti.org/downloads/) and the miney mod. I use Debian and therefore install it like this:

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install luanti -y
   

   You should now be possible to start luanti.

   luanti
   

2. Install luci with pipx.

   sudo apt install pipx -y
   pipx ensurepath
   pipx install git+https://github.com/lookslikematrix/luci.git
   pipx upgrade luci
   

3. (Optional) Install Minetest Game as the classic game. This is required in newer versions of luanti.

   

   

   

   You now can click twice Back and are ready to play luanti without luci.

4. Create game, install miney mod, enable miney mod, enable server and start game.

   

   

   

   

   

   

5. Grant player luci all privileges.

   • Shift + /

   • Type /grant luci all

   • Hit enter.

6. Build a STL-Object.

   luci build data/some_stl_file.stl
   # and erase it
   luci erase data/some_stl_file.stl
   

Development
