You can also use wood or steel in place of cobble.

If i have to make a sword how do i pick up materials?

In 0.3, you can break any block without tools. However, a pick speeds up rock, axe speeds up wood, and shovel speeds up dirt/gravel/sand.

How do i cook a rat because when ever i kill one i don't get any rat meat to put in the furnis.

The rat should be picked up when you punch it, there is no real "rat meat", just put the whole rat in the furnace.

Can i add more blocks like different color ones, if so how?

Not without editing the C++ code, no. 0.3 doesn't have a modding api.

When i leave the address/port blank it says that it is connecting to a local server, how do i find out what that local server is (the ardress/port that it is connecting to)

That is 0.3's "singleplayer". It's not true singleplayer, what happens is the client creates its own server on your own computer.

I know that buti only have one cobble. when i break a block it doesn't pick it up.

where do i get a stick?

Chop a tree = tree (trunk)
Put a tree anywhere in your craftspace = 4 wood
Put a wood anywhere in your craftspace = 4 stick

Wooden pick:

WOOD WOOD WOOD
- STICK -
- STICK -

Here is the problem, when i chop the tree it doesn't add it to my inventory and when ever i try out it in my crafts space it say i only have one of each item even though i choppped, dug, break, etc.

Try unchecking the litlle square before "Creative Mode". Edit: In the start menu of minetest (under singleplayer or under advanced (doesn't matter wich one).
