:D this is more like troubleshooting than a FAQ, because there’s not a single question. Whatever, it is still helpful, just mislabelled.
It may interest you that the wiki has a FAQ: http://wiki.minetest.net/FAQ
(most questions are copied :P)
I'm creating MineClone 2, a Minecraft clone for Minetest.
I made the Help modpack, adding in-game help to Minetest.

i have found in 4.7 if you go to the settings tab in the main menu and un-click preload item visuals the icons all work but if it is on then the icons are all messed up or missing.

From where did you install minetest (link to the download link)?

- Maybe you only need to choose minetest while creating a game, maybe minetest game is present, but in a wrong directory/folder. But we need more info to help you.

I downloaded it with the software manager on Linux Mint.

Thanks for the info. I don't know that version. I use Lubuntu. 13.10 has minetest 0.4.7, before 13.4 and lower, had a very old version of minetest (I think 0.3.1).

To enjoy minetest in the best possible way, I recommend you to get the latest version 0.4.7 daily built/unstable (the stable is getting old).

I found an Ubuntu/mint link on the download page: http://minetest.net/download , but I don't have experience with it.

For me the easiest way to get minetest is following the instructions from this page: https://github.com/minetest/minetest , scroll down till: Compiling on GNU/Linux and then copy paste.

- mod does not work (because of wrong folder name)

- block disappears/can't mine block (for example wrong tool)

I don't think this is a thread to ask about bugs. And, what is "something wrong"?
7:42 PM - Bauglio: I think if you go to staples you could steal firmware from a fax machine that would run better than win10 does on any platform
7:42 PM - Bauglio: so fudge the stable build

Server version? http://servers.minetest.net/
Client version?
I know that bug but it didn't appear in the last MT versions anymore.

brunob: the minetest.conf file in linux is generally located inside your home folder within the .minetest hidden folder...

It is possible to use minetest from a single folder (in the area of trabaplo for example)? Where can I get it?

Transparent nodes are likely too dark when rendering in the inventory; to fix it, the modder has to set the inventory image by hand to something else.

Seems like they are inversed too. I saw this in android builds before. What build and operating system are you using? Do other builds work?

Linux is not an Operating System per se. Tell us which distro you are using. For example, I use Xubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit.

Easiest way is to use worldedit. Type "//p set" and punch the locked chest twice. Then do "//set air" - and the chest will be gone. Make sure that both markers are set to the chest.

Antcheat

If I put ant_cheat_disable = false, these problems can be solved?
*Through the floor
*Running too fast.
*Fly.
*Steal items.

Don't use anticheat, even it you would use it, it can't protect from those points.
