For playing:
- Minetest 5.3.0
For building:
- some modern linux distro (yeah sorry, windows people gotta ask someone to build it for them)
- zsh
- git
- moonscript
- Minetest_Game 5.3.0

Building

clone the repo, cd into the folder
run MTG_PATH=/path/to/your/copy/of/minetest_game ./build.sh
symlink the folder into your minetest games folder

for example, on a recent debian:

git clone https://gitlab.com/worstconcept/worstblockgame.git
cd worstblockgame
MTG_PATH=/usr/share/games/minetest/games/minetest_game ./build.sh
mkdir -p ~/.minetest/games
ln -s $(pwd) ~/.minetest/games

Playing

run minetest, select WorstBlockGame, create a map with the following settings:

Name: just pick a nice one
Seed: some random number
Mapgen: v7
Game: WorstBlockGame, duh.
Mapgen flags:
- [x] Caves
- [x] Dungeons
- [x] Decorations
Mapgen-specific flags:
- [x] Caverns
- [x] Rivers
- [x] Mountains
- [ ] Floatlands

Then play the map.

Getting Started ingame:

In your inventory (default [I]), on the "More" tab, there's a Crafting Guide which will learn recipes for any items you know (have or had in your inventory).
There's also an award system (also a tab in your Inventory), which will first lead you through the basics, and then open up to have lots of achievements.
There's a protection around the spawn area, so if you can't break any blocks there, just walk away a bit.
Eat enough to get healed, also holding the Aux key (aka. special, default [E]) lets you run as long as you have stamina, but drains your satiation.
