Minetest - 3D Models

Minetest only supports a limited set of formats.

OBJ can be used for static models, but for animations you will want to use Blitz3D's format (b3d).

b3d exporter

b3d exporter for Blender

Currently broken in Blender v3.0, use v2.8/v2.9 for now!

Make sure you have your mesh object selected, or it will not export correctly.

Units

1 node = 1m³

However, models are all at 1/10th scale. If your model is 3m wide, it will appear as 0.3m.

In Blender go to "Scene Properties" > "Units", set "Unit System" to Metric and "Unit Scale" to 0.1.

Blender will now display units as 1/10th their actual value, so they match with in-game display.

This does not affect the actual data though!
