#Minetest no longer ships with a default game.

For a long time, Minetest shipped with a default game called "Minetest Game". This was a fairly barebones survival game and gave a bad first impression. Minetest is all about customisation, the choice of multiple games is a big part of that. Now, new users are directed to choose a game using ContentDB

We'll be making further improvements in the future to make this process easier to understand

Minetest's main menu, showing a message: "You have no games installed". and a large button "Install a game"
A dialog in Minetest with the following content: Minetest Game is no longer installed by default For a long time, the Minetest engine shipped with a default game called "Minetest Game”. Since Minetest 5.8.0, Minetest ships without a default game. If you want to continue playing in your Minetest Game worlds, you need to reinstall Minetest Game

#Minetest 5.8 will have an improved settings menu

The new design should be much easier to use. Settings are organised in a more logical way, and you can see more settings without digging into a huge advanced settings tree
