Running luma without a command opens the terminal UI:

luma --dir /path/to/luanti
luma --flatpak

The main menu shows the folders and engine version in use, and leads to the mods, games and texture packs screens.

General keys#

keyaction
up / k, down / jmove
enter / spaceselect, or open details
esc / backspacego back
qquit
ctrl+cquit immediately

q is ignored while certain operations are happening to avoid leaving directories in an invalid state.

Mods#

The mods screen lists the installed mods and modpacks. Above the list are two actions:

  • Check for updates asks ContentDB which installed mods have a newer release
  • Update all updates every mod found by the last check

Mods in the list are tagged:

tagmeaning
[U]update available
[P]modpack

Press u on a mod tagged [U] to update only that one. Updating replaces the mod’s folder with the new release.

Mods with no author in their mod.conf (or modpack.conf) can’t be matched to a ContentDB package, so they are never available for update.

Games and texture packs#

These screens list what is installed, and selecting an entry shows its details.

A [!] tag means the entry has no valid game.conf or texture_pack.conf, so its name is guessed from the folder name.
