<h2>Getting started</h2>
<p>
Are you a new user?
Have a look at our <a href="https://wiki.minetest.net/Getting_Started">Getting Started</a>,
<a href="https://wiki.minetest.net/FAQ">FAQ</a>,
and <a href="https://wiki.minetest.net/Tutorials">Tutorials</a> pages on our wiki.<br>
Otherwise, feel free to look at the <a href="https://dev.minetest.net/Changelog#5.5.0_.E2.86.92_5.6.0">changelog</a>.
</p>
<p>
You may also want to look at some
<a href="https://content.minetest.net/packages/?type=game">games</a>.
Games provide basic game play for the engine to run using Lua scripts.
Different games have different objectives, such as survival, building or Player vs Player.
Usually Minetest comes with
<a href="https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game">Minetest Game</a>,
to supply the default items and blocks.
You can then add <a href="https://content.minetest.net/packages/?type=mod">mods</a> on
top of a game in order to customize your experience further.

These builds are more recent than the officially released builds
