 An important general concept in Minetest is pointing. As mentioned earlier,\nthere is a crosshair in the center of the screen.\n\nYou can point several things in Minetest:\n\n- Blocks\n- Dropped items\n- Other players\n- Many other things\n\nYou can only point one thing at once, or nothing at all. You can tell when\nyou point something if it is surrounded by a thin cuboid wireframe.\n\nTo point something, three conditions have to be met:\n1. The thing in question must be pointable at all\n2. Your crosshair must be exactly over the thing in question\n3. You must be close enough to the thing\n\nWhen a thing is pointed, you can do different stuff with it; e.g. collecting it,\npunching it, building to it, etc. We come to all that later.\n\nNow collect that apple from the small tree in front of this sign, and the gold bar.\nTo do that, you must point it and click with the left mouse button.

While diving, 10 bubbles appear in the heads-up display.\nThese bubbles disappear over time while diving and when you are out of bubbles,\nyou slowly lose some health points.
