Welcome to the Minetest wiki. If you'd like to edit here, email: me@minetest.org
Minetest is a free game engine. Think of Minetest as a collection of different programs similar to Minecraft™. Each program can create or visit blocky game worlds.
The blocky game worlds have different themes such as Old West, post apocalypse, ordinary cities, and many more. The client automatically downloads assets! Gameplay is in the form of Lua mods which usually run on the server (A client-side mod [CSM] can be created, but mostly so graphical tweaks run with high performance).
The different Minetest programs include:
- Classic Minetest 4 from the 2010s
- Minetest 5 also known as Trolltest or minetest.net
- The commercial program, MultiCraft (see trademark note below)
- and the most advanced in some respects, Final Minetest
Note: MultiCraft, as in the Minetest fork, is not to be confused with Multicraft™, a Minecraft hosting company in Switzerland.
