Minetest Game

ContentDB

Minetest Game (abbreviated MTG) is a simple and peaceful sandbox game, with no real goals or built-in enemy mobs.

While it provides a basic gameplay experience out of the box, it is best played with mods.

Minetest Game is in perpetual maintenance-only mode, meaning it will not see new gameplay features or anything else that breaks compatibility (see #2710).

Installation

ContentDB

Compatibility

As of January 2024 Minetest Game follows a rolling release model with new changes being automatically published on ContentDB every day.

There are no stable releases or tags, all existing ones are considered legacy.
