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:
 
 
 
*[[Help:Getting Started|Getting Started]]
 
*[[Games/Tutorial]]
 
*[[Help:How to build your first house|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.)
 
*'''Shift+Left mouse button''' – Automatically transfer item stack. (See [[Inventory#Automatic Transfer|Auto Transfer]] for full explanation.)
 
 
 
==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.
 
*'''/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>.
 
 
 
In [[Games/Minetest Game|Minetest Game]], there is also:
 
*'''/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.
 
 
 
==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:
 
 
 
*'''teleport''' – can use the /teleport command
 
*'''fast''' – allows the player to activate fast mode
 
*'''fly''' – allows the player to activate fly mode
 
*'''home''' – can use /home and /sethome commands (in Minetest Game)
 
 
 
==Configuration==
 
 
 
In the main menu you can tweak and change almost any imaginable setting via the “Advanced settings” menu. The configuration is stored in <code>[[minetest.conf]]</code> and can also be edited by hand, but this has become less important now.
 
 
 
==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 [[Help: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.
