new player
so i ve started to play minetest and the biggest problem in it is lack of information(or i just cant find it)

when i played minecraft i first read about coordinates, max height, how chunks work etc
and only after that i build something

but in minetest i cant even find info on boat, at least how fast is it.
i dont understand how seeds work here, in minecraft u can make seeds like:
seed
SEED
Seed

and they all will be different but in minetest i cant even create more than 1.
so there are more questions, can u please show me forums or wiki where is decent faq for new players?

Hi!

The official Minetest site is at http://minetest.net - Finding the forums and the wiki should be a breeze from there (Use the links at the top). The forums are located at http://forum.minetest.net and the wiki is at http://wiki.minetest.net

In Minetest, you can view coordinates and other debug data by pressing F5. There is no theoretical max height in the Minetest engine, allthough it has been limited to 32000 for stability reasons. I think you can modify the source code to go even higher. Chunks are 16x16x16 - you don't really need to know about them to be able to play XD

In Minetest, boat is a recent addition. It is made by placing wooden planks (which you get from wood, which you get from mining tree trunks) into your craft grid (Press I for inventory) in this formation:

. . .
x . x
x x x

Where dots are empty spaces, and x are wooden planks

Seeds are obtained at random by digging dirt. Check the farming guide on the wiki for more information.

I hope you enjoy playing minetest! See you around =D

thx for reply,
can u show me subforum or something like that for new players.
and at wiki i couldnt find info about boat, there is no such pagejust used search and found boat, but there is no link for that page at blocks page.but it sez boats are slightly faster..how much?is it a good idea to make tranportation system with boats or it will be effective only at very big distances?

coordinates work here different, there is only 0,0 no -0,-0 like in minecraft, there u could see all 4 chunks but in minetest i dont understand where they are.

is there any reason to go lower than -64 cos i tryed and its all same caves, are there canyons?

so its cube, not like in minecraft 16x16x256?

other seeds, like to generate world
