### Launch a game You downloaded Minetest and you want to play? At the beginning, two simple solutions exist: play in solo mode on your machine or join the world of @:(color.minetest-edu). #### In solo mode - Click on the `Solo` tab - Create a «New World» by filling in the "World Name" box and clicking `Create`. - Click on this world then on the `Play` button #### On the world @:color.minetest-edu - Click on the `Client` tab - Choose the server `framinetest.org` - Enter a name (or nickname) then a password and click on `Play`! ### How to play? The game using your mouse, you don’t know how to get out? Don’t panic! Tap on <kbd>Esc</kbd> (menu), <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Tab</kbd> (change program) or simply <kbd>I</kbd> (Minetest inventory) - **The mouse** serves to direct your gaze - **Left-click**: mine, attack (in the inventory : move a stack of objects) - **Right click **: place blocks, use (in the inventory : move an object, separate) - **Wheel** or <kbd>0</kbd> to <kbd>9</kbd>: Select an object in the action bar - <kbd>Z</kbd> / <kbd>Q</kbd> / <kbd>S</kbd> / <kbd>D</kbd>: move (top, left, bottom, right) - <kbd>A</kbd>: release what is in the hand - <kbd>Shift</kbd>: relax or walk carefully - <kbd>K</kbd>: fly (activate/deactivate “free movement” mode) - <kbd>J</kbd>: Activate/deactivate “fast” mode - <kbd>I</kbd>: open inventory - <kbd>T</kbd>: open chat window - <kbd>Esc</kbd>: open menu (to exit, among others) ### Be constructive: craft! Minetest is not just a game that breaks bricks, it’s a world where you can use the raw materials harvested to make objects (in the jargon of the game, we say “*to craft*”). Find out how and what to make [in Minetest’s wiki](http://wiki.minetest.net/Crafting)!
