# Minetest World Format 22...29
This applies to a world format carrying the block serialization version
22...27, used at least in
* `0.4.dev-20120322` ... `0.4.dev-20120606` (22...23)
* `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.
# Files
Everything is contained in a directory, the name of which is freeform, but
often serves as the name of the world.
Currently, the authentication and ban data is stored on a per-world basis.
It can be copied over from an old world to a newly created world.
World
├── auth.txt ───── Authentication data
├── auth.sqlite ── Authentication data (SQLite alternative)
├── env_meta.txt ─ Environment metadata

├── map.sqlite ─── Map data

└── world.mt ───── World metadata
## `auth.txt`
Contains authentication data, one player per line.
<name>:<password hash>:<privilege1,...>
Legacy format (until 0.4.12) of password hash is `<name><password>` SHA1'd,
in base64.
Format (since 0.4.13) of password hash is `#1#<salt>#<verifier>`, with the
parts inside `<>` encoded in base64.
`<verifier>` is an RFC 2945 compatible SRP verifier,
of the given salt, password, and the player's name lowercased,
using the 2048-bit group specified in RFC 5054 and the SHA-256 hash function.
Example lines:
* Player "celeron55", no password, privileges "interact" and "shout":
```
celeron55::interact,shout
```
* Player "Foo", password "bar", privilege "shout", with a legacy password hash:
```
foo:iEPX+SQWIR3p67lj/0zigSWTKHg:shout
```
* Player "Foo", password "bar", privilege "shout", with a 0.4.13 password hash:
```
foo:#1#hPpy4O3IAn1hsNK00A6wNw#Kpu6rj7McsrPCt4euTb5RA5ltF7wdcWGoYMcRngwDi11cZhPuuR9i5Bo7o6A877TgcEwoc//HNrj9EjR/CGjdyTFmNhiermZOADvd8eu32FYK1kf7RMC0rXWxCenYuOQCG4WF9mMGiyTPxC63VAjAMuc1nCZzmy6D9zt0SIKxOmteI75pAEAIee2hx4OkSXRIiU4Zrxo1Xf7QFxkMY4x77vgaPcvfmuzom0y/fU1EdSnZeopGPvzMpFx80ODFx1P34R52nmVl0W8h4GNo0k8ZiWtRCdrJxs8xIg7z5P1h3Th/BJ0lwexpdK8sQZWng8xaO5ElthNuhO8UQx1l6FgEA:shout
```
* Player "bar", no password, no privileges:
```
bar::
```
## `auth.sqlite`
Contains authentication data as an SQLite database. This replaces auth.txt
above when `auth_backend` is set to `sqlite3` in world.mt.
This database contains two tables: `auth` and `user_privileges`:
```sql
CREATE TABLE `auth` (
`id` INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
`name` VARCHAR(32) UNIQUE,
`password` VARCHAR(512),
`last_login` INTEGER
);
CREATE TABLE `user_privileges` (
`id` INTEGER,
`privilege` VARCHAR(32),
PRIMARY KEY (id, privilege),
CONSTRAINT fk_id FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES auth (id) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
```
The `name` and `password` fields of the auth table are the same as the auth.txt
fields (with modern password hash). The `last_login` field is the last login
time as a Unix time stamp.
The `user_privileges` table contains one entry per privilege and player.
A player with "interact" and "shout" privileges will have two entries, one
with `privilege="interact"` and the second with `privilege="shout"`.
## `env_meta.txt`
Simple global environment variables.
Example content:
game_time = 73471
time_of_day = 19118
EnvArgsEnd
## `ipban.txt`
Banned IP addresses and usernames.
Example content:
123.456.78.9|foo
123.456.78.10|bar
## `map_meta.txt`
Simple global map variables.
Example content:
seed = 7980462765762429666
[end_of_params]
## `map.sqlite`
Map data.
See [Map File Format](#map-file-format) below.
## `player1`, `Foo`
Player data.
Filename can be anything.
See [Player File Format](#player-file-format) below.
## `world.mt`
World metadata.
gameid = mesetint - name of the game
enable_damage = true - whether damage is enabled or not
creative_mode = false - whether creative mode is enabled or not
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 read-only seed DB (DB file _must_ be located in "readonly" subfolder)
auth_backend = files - which DB backend to use for authentication data
mod_storage_backend = sqlite3 - which DB backend to use for mod storage
server_announce = false - whether the server is publicly announced or not
load_mod_<mod> = false - whether <mod> is to be loaded in this world
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.

# Map File Format
Minetest maps consist of `MapBlock`s, chunks of 16x16x16 nodes.
In addition to the bulk node data, `MapBlock`s stored on disk also contain
other things.
## History
Initially, Minetest stored maps in a format called the "sectors" format.
It was a directory/file structure like this:
sectors2/XXX/ZZZ/YYYY
For example, the `MapBlock` at `(0, 1, -2)` was this file:
sectors2/000/ffd/0001
Eventually Minetest outgrew this directory structure, as filesystems were
struggling under the number of files and directories.
Large servers seriously needed a new format, and thus the base of the
current format was invented, suggested by celeron55 and implemented by
JacobF.
`SQLite3` was implemented. Blocks files were directly inserted as blobs
in a single table, indexed by integer primary keys, which were hashed
coordinates.
Today, we know that `SQLite3` allows multiple primary keys (which would allow
storing coordinates separately), but the format has been kept unchanged for
that part.
## `map.sqlite`
`map.sqlite` is a `SQLite3` database, containing a single table, called
`blocks`. It looks like this:
```sql
CREATE TABLE `blocks` (`pos` INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, `data` BLOB);
```
## Position Hashing
`pos` (a node position hash) is created from the three coordinates of a
`MapBlock` using this algorithm, defined here in Python:
```python
def getBlockAsInteger(p):
return int64(p[2]*16777216 + p[1]*4096 + p[0])
def int64(u):
while u >= 2**63:
u -= 2**64
while u <= -2**63:
u += 2**64
return u
```
It can be converted the other way by using this code:
```python
def getIntegerAsBlock(i):
x = unsignedToSigned(i % 4096, 2048)
i = int((i - x) / 4096)
y = unsignedToSigned(i % 4096, 2048)
i = int((i - y) / 4096)
z = unsignedToSigned(i % 4096, 2048)
return x,y,z
def unsignedToSigned(i, max_positive):
if i < max_positive:
return i
else:
return i - 2*max_positive
```
## Blob
The blob is the data that would have otherwise gone into the file.
See below for description.
# MapBlock Serialization Format
> **Notes**:
> * 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 serialization.h for the latest number
`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`: Not used in version 27 and above. 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`. It most likely won't work properly.
* `0x08`: `generated`: True if the block has been generated. If false, block
is mostly filled with `CONTENT_IGNORE` and is likely to contain e.g. parts
of trees of neighboring blocks.
`u16` lighting_complete
* Added in version 27.
* This contains 12 flags, each of them corresponds to a direction.
* Indicates if the light is correct at the sides of a map block.
Lighting may not be correct if the light changed, but a neighbor
block was not loaded at that time.
If these flags are false, Minetest will automatically recompute light
when both this block and its required neighbor are loaded.
* The bit order is:
nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing,
night X-, night Y-, night Z-, night Z+, night Y+, night X+,
day X-, day Y-, day Z-, day Z+, day Y+, day X+.
Where 'day' is for the day light bank, 'night' is for the night
light bank.
The 'nothing' bits should be always set, as they will be used
to indicate if direct sunlight spreading is finished.
* Example: if the block at `(0, 0, 0)` has `lighting_complete = 0b1111111111111110`,
Minetest will correct lighting in the day light bank when the block at
`(1, 0, 0)` is also loaded.
Timestamp and node ID mappings were introduced in 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
* `u8` `name_id_mapping_version`
* Should be zero for map format version 29.
* `u16` `num_name_id_mappings`
* foreach `num_name_id_mappings`:
* `u16` `id`
* `u16` `name_len`
* `u8[name_len]` `name`
`u8` content_width
* Number of bytes in the content (`param0`) fields of nodes
* 1 byte before map format version 24, 2 bytes since
`u8` params_width
* Number of bytes used for parameters per node
* Always 2
## Node Data
> **Note**: Zlib-compressed before map format version 29
* If `content_width` is 1:
* `u8[4096]`: `param0` fields
* `u8[4096]`: `param1` fields
* `u8[4096]`: `param2` fields
* If `content_width` is 2:
* `u16[4096]`: `param0` fields
* `u8[4096]`: `param1` fields
* `u8[4096]`: `param2` fields
* The location of a node in each of those arrays is `(z*16*16 + y*16 + x)`.
### Node Metadata List
> **Note**: Zlib-compressed before map version format 29
* Before map format version 23:
* `u16` version (=1)
* `u16` count of metadata
* foreach count:
* `u16` position (`(p.Z*MAP_BLOCKSIZE*MAP_BLOCKSIZE + p.Y*MAP_BLOCKSIZE + p.X)`)
* `u16` type_id
* `u16` content_size
* `u8[content_size]` content of metadata. Format depends on `type_id`, see below.
* Since map format version 23:
* `u8` version
> **Note**: Type was `u16` before map format version 23
* = 1 before map format version 28
* = 2 since map format version 28
* `u16` count of metadata
* foreach count:
* `u16` `position` (`(p.Z*MAP_BLOCKSIZE*MAP_BLOCKSIZE + p.Y*MAP_BLOCKSIZE + p.X)`)
* `u32` `num_vars`
* foreach `num_vars`:
* `u16` `key_len`
* `u8[key_len]` `key`
* `u32 val_len`
* `u8[val_len]` `value`
* `u8` `is_private`
* only since map format version 2. 0 = not private, 1 = private
* serialized inventory
## Node Timers
* Map format version 23:
* `u8` unused version (always 0)
* Map format version 24:
> **Note**: Not released as stable
* `u8` `nodetimer_version`
* if `nodetimer_version` == 1:
* `u16` `num_of_timers`
* foreach `num_of_timers`:
* `u16` timer position (`(z*16*16 + y*16 + x)`)
* `s32` timeout * 1000
* `s32` elapsed * 1000
* Since map format version 25:
* `u8` length of the data of a single timer (always 2+4+4=10)
* `u16` `num_of_timers`
* foreach `num_of_timers`:
* `u16` timer position (`(z*16*16 + y*16 + x)`)
* `s32` timeout * 1000
* `s32` elapsed * 1000
`u8` static object version:
* Always 0
`u16` `static_object_count`
foreach `static_object_count`:
* `u8` type (object type-id)
* `s32` `pos_x_nodes` * 10000
* `s32` `pos_y_nodes` * 10000
* `s32` `pos_z_nodes` * 10000
* `u16` `data_size`
* `u8[data_size]` `data`
Before map format version 29:
* `u32` `timestamp`
* Same meaning as the timestamp further up
* `u8` `name-id-mapping` version
* Always 0
* `u16` `num_name_id_mappings`
* foreach `num_name_id_mappings`:
* `u16` `id`
* `u16` `name_len`
* `u8[name_len]` `name`
End of File (EOF).
# Format of Nodes
A node is composed of the `u8` fields `param0`, `param1` and `param2`.
Before map format version 24:
* The content id of a node is determined as so:
* If `param0` < `0x80`, `content_id = param0`
* Otherwise, `content_id = (param0<<4) + (param2>>4)`
Since map format version 24:
* The content id of a node is `param0`.
The purpose of `param1` and `param2` depend on the definition of the node.
# Name-ID-Mapping
The mapping maps node content IDs to node names.
# Node Metadata Format (Before Map Format Version 23)
The node metadata is serialized depending on the `type_id` field.
`1`: Generic metadata
* serialized inventory
* `u32` `len`
* `u8[len]` `text`
* `u16` `len`
* `u8[len]` `owner`
* `u16` `len`
* `u8[len]` `infotext`
* `u16` `len`
* `u8[len]` inventory drawspec
* `u8` `allow_text_input` (bool)
* `u8` `removal_disabled` (bool)

`15`: Chest metadata
* serialized inventory
`16`: Furnace metadata
* To be determined
`17`: Locked Chest metadata
* `u16` `len`
* `u8[len]` `owner`
* serialized inventory
# Static Objects
Static objects are persistent freely moving objects in the world.
Object types:
`1`: Test object
`7`: LuaEntity:
* `u8` `compatibility_byte` (always 1)
* `u16` `len`
* `u8[len]` entity name
* `u32` `len`
* `u8[len]` static data
* `s16` `hp`
* `s32` velocity.x * 10000
* `s32` velocity.y * 10000
* `s32` velocity.z * 10000
* `s32` yaw * 1000
Since protocol version 37:
* `u8` `version2` (=1)
* `s32` pitch * 1000
* `s32` roll * 1000
# Itemstring Format
Examples:
* `'default:dirt 5'`
* `'default:pick_wood 21323'`
* `'"default:apple" 2'`
* `'default:apple'`
Older formats:
* `'node "default:dirt" 5'`
* `'NodeItem default:dirt 5'`
* `'ToolItem WPick 21323'`
The wear value in tools is 0...65535.
# Inventory Serialization Format
* The inventory serialization format is line-based.
* The newline character used is `\n`
* The end condition of a serialized inventory is always `EndInventory\n`
* All the slots in a list must always be serialized.

auth.sqlite
------------
Contains authentification data as an SQLite database. This replaces auth.txt
above when auth_backend is set to "sqlite3" in world.mt .
This database contains two tables "auth" and "user_privileges":
CREATE TABLE `auth` (
`id` INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
`name` VARCHAR(32) UNIQUE,
`password` VARCHAR(512),
`last_login` INTEGER
);
CREATE TABLE `user_privileges` (
`id` INTEGER,
`privilege` VARCHAR(32),
PRIMARY KEY (id, privilege)
CONSTRAINT fk_id FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES auth (id) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
The "name" and "password" fields of the auth table are the same as the auth.txt
fields (with modern password hash). The "last_login" field is the last login
time as a unix time stamp.
The "user_privileges" table contains one entry per privilege and player.
A player with "interact" and "shout" privileges will have two entries, one
with privilege="interact" and the second with privilege="shout".
env_meta.txt
-------------
Simple global environment variables.
Example content (added indentation):
game_time = 73471
time_of_day = 19118

Map File Format
================
Minetest maps consist of MapBlocks, chunks of 16x16x16 nodes.
In addition to the bulk node data, MapBlocks stored on disk also contain
other things.
History
--------
We need a bit of history in here. Initially Minetest stored maps in a
format called the "sectors" format. It was a directory/file structure like
this:
sectors2/XXX/ZZZ/YYYY
For example, the MapBlock at (0,1,-2) was this file:
sectors2/000/ffd/0001
Eventually Minetest outgrow this directory structure, as filesystems were
struggling under the amount of files and directories.
Large servers seriously needed a new format, and thus the base of the
current format was invented, suggested by celeron55 and implemented by
JacobF.
SQLite3 was slammed in, and blocks files were directly inserted as blobs
in a single table, indexed by integer primary keys, oddly mangled from
coordinates.
Today we know that SQLite3 allows multiple primary keys (which would allow
storing coordinates separately), but the format has been kept unchanged for
that part. So, this is where it has come.
</history>
So here goes
-------------
map.sqlite is an sqlite3 database, containing a single table, called
"blocks". It looks like this:
CREATE TABLE `blocks` (`pos` INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,`data` BLOB);
The key
--------
"pos" is created from the three coordinates of a MapBlock using this
algorithm, defined here in Python:
def getBlockAsInteger(p):
return int64(p[2]*16777216 + p[1]*4096 + p[0])
def int64(u):
while u >= 2**63:
u -= 2**64
while u <= -2**63:
u += 2**64
return u
It can be converted the other way by using this code:
def getIntegerAsBlock(i):
x = unsignedToSigned(i % 4096, 2048)
i = int((i - x) / 4096)
y = unsignedToSigned(i % 4096, 2048)
i = int((i - y) / 4096)
z = unsignedToSigned(i % 4096, 2048)
return x,y,z
def unsignedToSigned(i, max_positive):
if i < max_positive:
return i
else:
return i - 2*max_positive
The blob
---------
The blob is the data that would have otherwise gone into the file.
See below for description.
MapBlock serialization 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 serialization.h for the latest number
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: Not used in version 27 and above. 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.
- 0x08: generated: True if the block has been generated. If false, block
is mostly filled with CONTENT_IGNORE and is likely to contain eg. parts
of trees of neighboring blocks.
u16 lighting_complete
- Added in version 27.
- This contains 12 flags, each of them corresponds to a direction.
- Indicates if the light is correct at the sides of a map block.
Lighting may not be correct if the light changed, but a neighbor
block was not loaded at that time.
If these flags are false, Minetest will automatically recompute light
when both this block and its required neighbor are loaded.
- The bit order is:
nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing,
night X-, night Y-, night Z-, night Z+, night Y+, night X+,
day X-, day Y-, day Z-, day Z+, day Y+, day X+.
Where 'day' is for the day light bank, 'night' is for the night
light bank.
The 'nothing' bits should be always set, as they will be used
to indicate if direct sunlight spreading is finished.
- Example: if the block at (0, 0, 0) has
lighting_complete = 0b1111111111111110,
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

Format of nodes
----------------
A node is composed of the u8 fields param0, param1 and param2.
if map format version <= 23:
The content id of a node is determined as so:
- If param0 < 0x80,
content_id = param0
- Otherwise
content_id = (param0<<4) + (param2>>4)
if map format version >= 24:
The content id of a node is param0.
The purpose of param1 and param2 depend on the definition of the node.
The name-id-mapping
--------------------
The mapping maps node content ids to node names.
Node metadata format for map format versions <= 22
---------------------------------------------------
The node metadata are serialized depending on the type_id field.

Itemstring format
------------------
eg. 'default:dirt 5'
eg. 'default:pick_wood 21323'
eg. '"default:apple" 2'
eg. 'default:apple'
- The wear value in tools is 0...65535
- There are also a number of older formats that you might stumble upon:
eg. 'node "default:dirt" 5'
eg. 'NodeItem default:dirt 5'
eg. 'ToolItem WPick 21323'
Inventory serialization format
-------------------------------
- The inventory serialization format is line-based
- The newline character used is "\n"
- The end condition of a serialized inventory is always "EndInventory\n"
- All the slots in a list must always be serialized.
Example (format does not include "---"):
---

Item default:sword_stone 1 10647
Item default:dirt 99
