I'm not really sure if this is the right place to put it, but I use Linux... and I'm bad at Linux... I can't figure out how to update from version three. I'd like to join group servers, but it keeps telling me that I can't join unless i'm version 10 or 11.... Also, Doors are impossible to make... I've even checked to see if I was crafting them right, and I was... but they don't craft :/

If you're on Ubuntu, there's an official PPA:
https://code.launchpad.net/~minetestdevs/+archive/stable/+packages
Just add that and you can install minetest like any other program, and get updates automatically.
