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. Both offline, at home, worlds and communal worlds on the Internet are supported.

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 Trolltest documentation as it's 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.
