Hi, I have created some tutorials for Minetest that may help you, just go to this link and there is a pdf file: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?pid=117649#p117649

I'm guessing this will be your first time using Minetest as well so here is another tutorial you may find useful, it's all of the game controls: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?pid=117650#p117650

Hope this helps! :)
