  "textContent": "> Those are both valid suggestions you could add to the tracker, where you'll get more discussion happening too (sorry, we're kind of fragmented between platforms).\n\nI have just added a feature request on the Luanti GitHub.\n\n\n> Again, consider it my own bias as a Linux user, but in times gone by I would have suggested the .zip, but using directory junctions (or soft/hard links, but junctions were always my preference on Windows, nowadays I am an ex-Windows user).\n\nA symbolic link is a valid option. It needs to be a relative soft symbolic link. I have configured relative symlinks for all these:\n- cache/\n- client/\n- games/\n- mod data/\n- worlds/\n- debug.txt\n\nThe issue is that this is limited to the NTFS file system (no FAT32 or ex-FAT USB key can be used).\nSymbolic links on Windows are not widely known (one reason is that you can only create them using a command line). In Linux, symbolic links are more common (I am a former Linux user, but have been forced to use Windows).\nWhy do you prefer junctions nowadays in Windows rather than Windows soft-links?\n\nStatistics: Posted by cris — Tue Mar 10, 2026 15:25\n\n* * *",
