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 themes such as Old West, post
apocalypse, ordinary cities, and many more. The client automatically
downloads assets. Gameplay is defined by Lua mods which usually
run on the server.
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.
Final Minetest includes servers and clients of different other types. Its primary server, finetestserver, presently works with all legacy clients.
This site focuses on Final Minetest but includes some of the Trolltest documentation as it is partly compatible.
Pages for users
These pages include parts for users, for world hosts, and for
developers in general.
To learn how to play on most servers, try clicking Bucket_Game, which has the most popular mods (integrated but configurable).
Developers' Center
The Developers' Center is for the convenience of Final Minetest
core developers though all visitors are welcome to read content.
