Question 1

How do I add custom textures to Manic Digger?

Accepted Answer

Manic Digger fully supports custom textures through file imports; check the wiki or forums for guides on texture packs and modification, as the README mentions custom texture support but lacks detailed steps.

Question 2

Is Manic Digger better than Minecraft for modding?

Accepted Answer

Manic Digger's open-source nature and C#/JavaScript modding API offer more transparency and flexibility, but Minecraft has a larger ecosystem and tools; choose based on preference for community vs. commercial support.

Question 3

Can I play Manic Digger on Mac or Linux?

Accepted Answer

Yes, since it's written in C# and transcompilable to multiple languages, it likely supports cross-platform play, but check release downloads or community forums for specific builds and setup instructions.

Question 4

How to create a mod for Manic Digger using JavaScript?

Accepted Answer

Use the server-side modding API documented on the wiki; start by forking the GitHub repository and referencing existing mods, as the README notes JavaScript support for server mods but provides limited examples.

Question 5

What's the active player count for Manic Digger multiplayer?

Accepted Answer

The community is smaller with a serverlist on SourceForge; expect fewer active servers compared to mainstream games, so it's best for private or niche collaborative building.
