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.

Tutorial World

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