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

The following mods require LuaSockets to be installed on the host system, and the mod to be added to the secure.trusted_mods setting:
- szutil_chatsocket: Expose in-game chat stream as a unix-domain socket for arbitrary chat integrations
- szutil_consocket: Togglable on-screen input control HUD, useful for demo recording
Powerfull! It good mod for make easy daily administrative tasks
Thanks, it very powerfull as root TTY, but for minetest as well!
Also, note for chatsocket and consocket, i try install with distro package installer, but not provide socket.unix
After few research I find way:
# {your pkg manager} install lua51-dev(el) luarocks-lua51
# luarocks-5.1 install luasocket-unix
and after, it works! Default luasocket too new, and no have unix sockets.
Package of goodies for server owners & more
SzUtilPack is a sizable modpack collection of utility mods ranging from a controls HUD to a chat message sound notifier mod, or
szutil_fixhackwhich can fix all of the silly lighting issues that occur in Minetest automatically in the background. While there are some that are primarily meant for singleplayer the majority of the mods are ones primarily useful for multiplayer servers. All mods are self-contained so you can cherry pick only the ones you want to enable making it a great resource for various mods server owners would want to have on their server that doesn't nearly get enough attention.In fact, I wrote a mod that turned out to just recreate part of the
szutil_restartmod can do without even knowing it. So if you're a server admin and can think of anything you would want, look in SzUtilPack before implementing it yourself!
