+# Minetest
+
+> These PufferPanel templates install the Minetest game engine. 
+
+As there are no precompiled binaries, the installer compiles Minetest from source, resulting in long installation times. The number of available CPU cores can be obtained using `nproc`
+
+Please make sure the following dependencies are installed (for Debian/Ubuntu users):
+```sh
+sudo apt install g++ make libc6-dev cmake libpng-dev libjpeg-dev libxi-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libsqlite3-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libfreetype6-dev zlib1g-dev libgmp-dev libjsoncpp-dev libzstd-dev libluajit-5.1-dev gettext
+```
+*If you are using another distribution, a depency list can be found in the official Minetest documentation.*
+
+Due to some versions requiring an additional dependency, there are two different template files:
+
+- For Minetest versions between and including 5.5.0 and 5.8.0, please use the `minetest-irrlichtmt.json` template file.
+    - Please specify the required IrrlichtMT version:
+        - Minetest `5.5.0` requires IrrlichtMT `1.9.0mt4`
+        - Minetest `5.5.1` requires IrrlichtMT `1.9.0mt4` or `1.9.0mt5`
+        - Minetest `5.6.0` requires IrrlichtMT `1.9.0mt7`
+        - Minetest `5.6.1` requires IrrlichtMT `1.9.0mt8`
+        - Minetest `5.7.0` requires IrrlichtMT `1.9.0mt10`
+        - Minetest `5.8.0` requires IrrlichtMT `1.9.0mt13`
+- For Minetest versions below 5.5.0 and above 5.8.0, please use the `minetest.json` template file.
+
+Minetest is only a game engine, games have to be downloaded from https://content.minetest.net/packages/?type=game and installed in the `minetest/games` directory.
