The Tutorial is an unofficial subgame for Minetest which teaches the fundamental basics of Minetest. It is not shipped together with Minetest. The tutorial concentrates on basic singleplayer gameplay and does not focus on a certain subgame. Most of the knowledge applies to multiplayer as well. This article will guide you how to install and start the tutorial (version 1.8.1).

Tutorial World

The tutorial is bundled together with a world, called “Tutorial World”. It only makes sense to run the Tutorial in Tutorial World.

How to install

To install the normal version of the tutorial, follow these steps:

Download the tutorial package, the link is in this forum thread: [1]
Depending on your operating system, you have to extract the Zip archive in to the following directory:
- GNU/Linux: $HOME/.minetest, where “$HOME” refers to your home directory.
- Mac OS: $HOME/.minetest, where “$HOME” refers to your home directory.
- Windows: into the main program folder in which you have installed Minetest. It is the directory containing the directories (not neccessarily exhaustive list) bin (which in turn contains minetest.exe), builtin, client, doc, fonts, games, locale, mods and textures.

If you want to try out the experimental version 2.1.0 (or later), you first have to create a subdirectory named “games” in the specified location, and extract the Zip file at this location. For example: /home/your_user_name/.minetest/games if you're using GNU/Linux.

How to start

To start the tutorial, follow these steps:

Start Minetest
Select the tab “singleplayer”
Click on the blue icon with a graduate cap labelled “Tutorial”.
In the world list, select “Tutorial World [tutorial]”
Make sure the checkbox “Creative Mode” is off and “Damage enabled” is on

The main menu should now look like this:

Finally, click on “Play”. Minetest will start and load the tutorial. If the loading is done, you should see something like this:

From this point on, the tutorial should guide you through the game.

Have fun with Minetest!
