The main menu has the old textures as expected, from the get go the tone was set, created a new world, and as spawned in a desert, the sand was ocher, walked a bit and found a forest, filled with apples, walked a bit more and found a thick jungle, a cave followed soon after, and then the deep orange color of iron ore, crafted some torches, I feel like I remember them being animated. At least the ceiling lantern is still there. Didn't stumble into a lot of rats or fireflies in the wild sadly.
The sneak glitch is there, but of course not the real one, no sneak elevators that launch you to the sky, no fast climbing or cheating death when falling on a ledge.
Darkness is way darker in this engine version, so the caves don't feel exactly right.
Feels very nostalgic, while of course stuff like lighting, mobs, etc, aren't exactly the same since the engine has changed, it's still got the whole aesthetic of classic Minetest down.
Would be cool to see some classic mods added or posted to the CDB as separate packages, it feels good playing old Minetest, while I don't think it's really possible to emulate the exact feeling of 0.3 in 0.5, there's still some improvement that could be made to get a more authentic feeling.
