-This guide gathers and explains some of the more advanced features of minetest in one convenient place to serve as a quick reference for those who have mastered basic gameplay.
-Before proceeding you should have already seen:
-*[[Getting Started]]
-*[[Games/Tutorial]]
-*[[how to build your first house]].
-==Interface==
-For a more complete list of keyboard controls, see [[Controls]].
-Some important keys are:
-*T - Opens the [[chat]] window.
-*/ - Opens a chat window where the “/” has already been typed for you so you can then type a [[server commands|server command]] right away.
-*F5 - Enable/disable debug screen which also shows your coordinates. (Useful for using /teleport command.)
-*F10 - Open/close [[console|console/chat log]]. Shows previously issued commands and chat log and also will accept a new command or chat message. (Use Page Up and Page Down keys to scroll.)
-==Server commands==
-See [[Server commands]] for a full explanation and more complete list of commands. Server commands trigger hidden actions or actions that can’t be activated any other way while playing the game. Beginning with the “/” key just type the command and press “Enter” to trigger it. Some commands only work if certain [[privileges]] have been granted.
-Some useful commands are:
-*/help all - Lists the available commands and a short description and syntax reference to each one. (Press F10 then use Page Up and Page Down to see entire list.)
-*/help <command> - Shows a short description about the given command. You can view the help of a command even if you do not have the privilege to issue it.
-*/sethome – Sets your current position as the home point for the /home command
-*/home – Teleports you to the home point that was set with the /sethome command. This command does not work until the /sethome command has been issued.
-*/teleport <x> <y> <z> - Teleport yourself to given coordinates. Coordinates are a set of three numbers that are positive or negative. (Press F5 to see debug info which includes coordinates of current location.)
-*/grant <player> <privilege> - Gives the specified <[[privileges|privilege]]> to <player>.
-==Privileges==
-See the [[privileges]] page for detailed information on the privilege system. Privileges control whether the player can use certain server commands and certain actions.
-Some useful privileges are:
-*home – can use /home and /sethome commands.
-*teleport – can use the /teleport command
-*fast – allows the player to activate fast mode.
-*fly – allows the player to activate fly mode.
-==Minetest.conf==
-[[minetest.conf|'''Minetest.conf''']] is the configuration file that sets game options. A file called minetest.conf.example is provided as an example. See that file for a more complete list of options. Many game options can only be changed using this file. Changes in this file affect all [[games|subgames]]. Any changes to the configuration file made during gameplay won’t take effect until the game is restarted. Subgames also have a separate configuration file that will only affect that subgame. All configuration files have an associated example file that lists all available options.
-Some useful options are:
-*fullscreen = false – determines whether or not game opens in a window.
-*screenW = 1024 – Width of game window.
-*screenH = 768 – Height of game window.
-*wanted_fps = 30 - The amount of rendered stuff is dynamically set according to this.
-==Mods==
-[[Mods]] (short for modifications or modules) are user-created modifications to the game in such a way that alters gameplay. See the [[Mods]] page for more detailed information and [[installing mods|how to install]] mods.
-===Servers===
-A great way to try out mods without installing them is to [[Server#Playing_on_a_server|play on a server]]. Minetest servers allow players to play online with other people. You have no control over which mods are installed on servers so you must find a server that has the mods you like. See the [[server]] page for more info.
-===Contribute===
-Creating a mod is a great way to [http://dev.minetest.net/How_to_start_contributing contribute] to the Minetest community. See the [http://dev.minetest.net/How_to_start_contributing contributing] page for more information on how to get started.
