Technically there’s a base minetest game that the install packages include but you probably want to use the downloader to install other games (or mods) to get anything out of it if you’re just a player.

I never quite understood minetest - minecraft isn’t good because it is a blocky shape, it’s good because it is quite well balanced. Minetest isn’t fun to me unfortunately
Minetest kind of just became a base for other games you get from the content downloader rather than a thing meant to be experienced by itself as a full featured Minecraft clone. It’s why my title says game engine rather then calling it a game
Edit for typo
Wow, just entered to read the comment and it automatically updated your edit! Lemmy is doing great rn!
If you’d like a more Minecraft-like experience in Minetest, you can install MineClone 2. It does also have some advantages over Minecraft, like better performance and a much greater world height, allowing for actual mountains and actual caves.
Of course, it also has drawbacks compared to Minecraft, e.g. Minecraft has some more content, but yeah, I think, it’s a matter of taste which you prefer.
