jara25 15ecaac336 Change the title of the death screen 
The player is already upset when they die, and "you dead" has a
mocking tone in my opinion, so change it to something more
ordinary.

yams RPG

yams RPG, or "yams" for short, is a work-in-progress game for Luanti. It uses Minetest Game as a base while adding light RPG elements. This game is geared towards those who are familiar with other voxel survival games.

This game includes a variety of mods created by the Luanti community, and many of them have been modified to various degrees for better integration with the rest of the game.

As the game is incomplete, expect bugs and unfinished content. In particular, mod compatibility is not very good. Making a public server using this game is discouraged, and making mods for yams RPG is not recommended either.

Installing

Luanti 5.14.0 or later is required to play yams RPG. It is recommended to install the game from within Luanti by going to the Content tab in-game.

Alternatively, it can be downloaded from ContentDB or from the Releases page. Unzip the archive to the games/ folder within the Luanti user data directory.

Do not download the zip archive of the source code from Codeberg, as it will be missing many files required to run the game.

Beginner Tips

  • Generally, it is best to craft a wooden pickaxe first, then make stone tools shortly after.
  • The Craft Lookup tab is where the crafting guide is located. Add blocks and items to the guide by discovering them, which can be done by picking them up or punching them.
  • Make sure to gather enough food while exploring. Look for crops growing throughout the world. Certain mobs also drop raw meat when defeated.
  • Chopping trees, mining ores, and defeating mobs gives EXP. Use stat points gained from leveling up in the Level Up tab. Dying causes some loss of progress towards reaching the next level, but inventory is kept.
  • Many monsters spawn during the night. It is recommended to have a shelter before the sun goes down.
  • It is very important to know that monsters become stronger at lower depths. Make sure to be prepared!
  • View the in-game manual for more details. Go to the More tab and click Help.

Getting the source code

You can clone the Git repository with the following command:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://codeberg.org/jara25/yams.git

Keep in mind that cloning will take several minutes because of the many submodules within this repository.
