Hugo Locurcio cd5181b3e1 Switch from Bootstrap to Bulma (#166)
The design has been slightly modernized in the process.
jQuery was also removed as it is no longer required, resulting in
faster page loading times.

Gallery thumbnails were regenerated at an higher resolution to match
the new design.

<a href="//wiki.minetest.net/FAQ">FAQ</a>,
and <a href="//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#0.4.17_.E2.86.92_0.4.17.1">changelog</a>.

You may also want to look at some
<a href="https://forum.minetest.net/viewforum.php?f=15">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="http://minetest.net/customize/#mods">mods</a> on
top of a game in order to customize your experience further.
