Introduction

This page will provide or link to a pile of Final Minetest code. Possibly other code as well.

Important: Read this

Important: Read this. If this part is too tech, you should get Multicraft instead. Or ask a tech family member or friend for help. If these points are clear, this is the Best Test for you. There is no better Test for tech types.

This Minetest is especially suited to former Minecraft modders and adult edutech or tinkerer types who'd like a stable, fast, and flexible platform to work with.

01) Final Minetest is for adult or teenage Linux or BSD CLI people. It supports Windows but even the Windows part is built under Linux or BSD.

02) We're sorry, but there is no direct Mac OS X support. However, Mac OS X clients can connect to Final Minetest servers.

03) There is no separate Final Minetest mobile client. For 2023, though, the MultiCraft 1 and 2, Minetest Classic 0.4, and Trolltest [minetest.net] mobile clients all work with Final Minetest servers.

04) The servers and clients are source code for different types of Linux. Not executables yet. They're easy for Linux tech types ages 15 and up to build. They're not for younger ages or for people who don't do Linux builds.

05) There are a huge number of mods organized into a few "_games". The "_games" are also known as "modsets". The mods have a massive number of bug fixes and features. But they are for use with Final Minetest servers or private Final Minetest setups. Don't try to use them in Multicraft or Trolltest worlds.

06) Microsoft Windows is supported too. However, we need to update the Windows code before putting it back online.

07) A number of ready to use Minetest worlds will be added when we can afford disk space. This will include both nice starter worlds and famous old worlds. You will be able to use them either at home in private setups or on public servers. However, the worlds will only work with Final Minetest servers.

08) You'll need a few GB of free disk space, perhaps 5 GB total, to build servers and clients. A few very small worlds will be included in that. Regular worlds will add 1 GB to 25 GB per world.

09) Final Minetest comes with source code for Linux, source code for Windows [we're redoing this part], and source code for the source code.

The last part, source code for the source code, is for people who'd like total control and the ability to rework everything. If you'd like to download and work with the source code for the source code, that will increase minimum disk space requirements to about 15 GB.

Basic downloads

10) The Linux Minetest Kit. This is a ZIP file that is a little less than 1 GB in size. You can download it from:

https://minetest.io/linux-minetest-kit.zip
or
https://minetest.org/linux-minetest-kit.zip

This is a rolling release. To see the current release number, click here or here.

11) Bucket Game. This is a ZIP file that is a little less than 150 MB in size. You can download it from:

https://minetest.io/bucket_game.zip
or
https://minetest.org/bucket_game.zip

This is a rolling release. To see the current release number, click here or here.

Bucket Game is a large but generally fast and stable modset. It is comparable in VanessaE's old Dreambuilder modset but is superior in some respects. One key element of Bucket Game is that despite being cutting edge it supports far more old worlds than any other large modset.

Bucket Game is included in the Linux Minetest Kit, both as a tarball there and in at least one sample world. However, it is also provided here as a separate download for convenience.

Don't download the rolling releases every day. However, we suggest that you update periodically.

To get started with the Linux kit

To get started with the Linux kit, do something like this on a Linux box:

sudo bash
mkdir -p /opt/minebest/
cd /opt/minebest/

# Warning: This will delete existing stuff
rm -fr linux-minetest-kit
rm -fr linux-minetest-kit.zip
rm -fr mtkit

wget https://minetest.org/linux-minetest-kit.zip
unzip -q linux-minetest-kit.zip
mv linux-minetest-kit mtkit
less mtkit/quickstart.txt

More will be added here.
