AuthMinetest

Extension for MediaWiki allowing to authenticate users against a Minetest server

Requirements:

MediaWiki 1.27+
Minetest with auth_export mod enabled
minetestauth.py duct-tape http server

Installation and setup

Clone / unzip into your MediaWiki's extension/AuthMinetest/ folder.

Configure your MediaWiki authentication manager to use this extension as the primary authentication provider:

wfLoadExtension( 'AuthMinetest' );

$wgAuthManagerAutoConfig['primaryauth'] = [
    MediaWiki\Auth\MinetestPasswordPrimaryAuthenticationProvider::class => [
        'class' => MediaWiki\Auth\MinetestPasswordPrimaryAuthenticationProvider::class,
        'args' => [
            [
                'minetestUrl' => 'http://your.minetest.url',
            ]
        ],
        'sort' => 0,
    ],
    ];

Enable the auth_export mod on your minetest server, and install the minetestauth.py script. You then need to point both the auth_export mod and this plugin to the minetestauth.py script like this:

auth_export ←→ minetestauth.py ←→ AuthMinetest

Keep in mind that stuff is sent in plain text, so you should have all of these listening on localhost or use encrypted tunnels between the hosts, such as ssh or vpn tunnels.
