This interview between myself (ExeVirus) and Mr. 56Independent, is a chance for the Minetest Community to meet one of our newer members. Enjoy!
Mr. 56 Independent Bio
- Name was completely arbitrary, via Gmail’s auto-generated name of “506_independent”
- System Admin Programmer, still in school
- Has a physical server at home, uses it mostly for Minetest Hosting
- Loves the Advanced Trains Mod: ‘advtrains’
- Loves Worldbuilding just so he can host a cool wiki
Runs a Server
- 56I.server
- State of the art travel infrastructure
- Slow load time, be patient ;)
- Desire for more players, give it a try
- Online Map
- Don’t forget the wiki
- Very organized, very different than other maps in that sense
- Wants an IntelliJ IDE fork for Minetest Modding
Advanced Trains
- “Advanced Trains is Brilliant”
- Tracks have longer, gentler curves, and huge trains much larger than a single node
- Interlocking Cars, and wider tracks
- “I love it because it’s full of Trains”
- Much more realistic than normal minecarts
Recommended Mods
ExeVirus having a far too long-winded talk about VSCodium

In a future episode I’ll explain how to use this setup to compile and debug Minetest Engine, and for mod making
