SzUtilPack

A collection of miscellaneous mods for Minetest providing "utility" functionality: management features, bug workarounds, and libraries for other mods. Each mod includes an individual README file with details on its use.

Each mod in the pack is effectively independent, with minimal or no dependencies (including on any assumed underlying game) and they can be enabled/disabled individually. Mods are distributed as a single pack because they have a single shared maintenance/release cycle.

The following mods have no special dependencies:

• szutil_admin: Alternative to the "admin" command that lists moderation team members
• szutil_authcache: Fix engine performance problems with player priv check
• szutil_chatsounds: Configurable beep notifications for in-game chat
• szutil_cinecam: Configure a player as a camera for unattended livestreaming
• szutil_clocksync: Synchronize in-game clock smoothly with real-time clock so users can log in at predictable times of day

• szutil_watch: Allow privileged/invited players to attach to and spectate other players
