I'm new to minetest but i've enjoyed modding other games for years. I've searched the forums and learned a little about the .conf file and that there are in game / commands. (i know about the example .conf and i have a feeling that is just the beginning). I have yet to try a / command since i haven't really figured out how to use them yet.
I'm sure there's much more that i don't know about yet. Is there somewhere that explains or lists all this stuff?
Thanks

If you want to start modding Minetest, I suggest looking at this for a start: http://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book/ (And someone beat me to recommending this!!!)
This is a good resource about all of the api functions: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... ua_api.txt
The dev wiki (http://dev.minetest.net/Main_Page) explains these in more depth sometimes.

Re: advanced beginners guide?
I've looked over those links and although i'm sure they'll be handy when i begin to create mods in a few days, right now i'm trying to learn the basics of messing with the basic game.
For example:
1. Is there a list of / commands? I've tried /help, all i have figured out so far is /sethome and /home
2. Is the list in .conf.example a complete list? If not is there a complete list?
3. What about privileges? How do i enable fast mode and fly mode privilege. Are there other privileges?

1. /help lists them all. Use /help cmd_name to then get a description on how to use the commands
2. minetest.conf.example is complete for the Minetest engine. The Minetest Game, which contains all the items (blocks, tools, craftitems) has its own minetest.conf.example in games/minetest_game/minetest.conf.example
3. Use /grant singleplayer all to give yourself all privs, including fly and fast. Then do /privs to see what privs are available.

Here is a link for server commands.

The wiki has lots of useful information.
