When I first discovered Minetest, I haven't played any game of that genre before and was like "What am I supposed to do?", putting random things in the craft-grid without effects and running in circles.
The tutorial helped a lot to grab the basics and understant a bit more what can be done. Next is the craft guide to get the mandatory basic recipes.
I am very happy to hear that! This crafting grid IS confusing for newbies. I think that was a big design flaw but many Minetest games are like that. Modern Minetest games should probably use a different and simplified crafting system, I always thought of the crafting grid as clunky.
I like the crafting grid, and miss it when games opt for something that has an easier learning curve, but gums up with pages crafts when your inventory is full of basic supplies.
