Matrix mod for Minetest

This mod creates a bridge between a Matrix channel and the in-game chat. The code is shamelessly based on the irc mod and examples from lua-matrix.

This branch (master) needs a Matrix user that listens for messages and sends to Minetest. Chat messages posted in-game will be sent with the bot to the Matrix channel like so:

@minetestbot: <myuser> hello world

For a bridge where virtual users are created in Matrix, checkout the appservice branch!

This is a work in progress Until we have a stable release, expect breaking changes and whatnot.

You might need to prepend sudo to first and second commands.

For the moment you need to add matrix_chat to secure.trusted_mods for lua-matrix to work. This will hopefully change.

secure.trusted_mods = matrix_chat
