Hope this helps :) (A couple of these links are found on the main Minetest website)

Minetest Developer Wiki:

Lua 5.2 Reference Manual:
http://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/

Links above are useful, of course
But since we have already grown mods just read them.
Many problems were already solved by modders. Read their code or just ask authors.

Minetest uses Lua 5.1 AFAIK.

I agree with RealBadAngel. Looking at the code of others is very helpful.

Oh, thanks I did not know. :)

Can somebody tutor me via skype? I'm extremely desperate to learn, yet I dont have much experience coding anything. In return, I will make textures for ye who helps me.;) P.S i have 2.5 years experience making textures for mincraft-related games such as Minebuilder for ios/android.
