Hi, I wanted to know how to install everything to my computer because the original tutorial is a little confusing. Can any one help?
Thanks

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

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! :)

Thank you! I'm 19, but I'm not very computer savvy if I'm completely honest!
That's okay, just hang around the Minetest IRC, and we'll make you one in no time XD
