I kind of like Noob Academy Server. If you are aiming for the Noob, you kind of have to aim for someone who knows he is a Noob. Frankly I still consider myself a Noob.

I have the quandry that I don't want the cheats but I do want the basics taught. Most Noobs do google searches on the worlds "Walk Through" and "Cheat."
If you want hits, "Minetest Cheat Walkthrough" server may be the title. It is however the title that would have kept me away. "Minetest Tutorial" is the sort of thing that would attract me. I also like, "Become a Pro."

I agree with you entirely.

In my tradition of bad ideas, how about a Minetest version of Oregon Trail.

Actually trying subgames is a good idea too. There are good ones, and you don't need to install any mods since everything is ready to plug and play.

The old racing and the space subgames are interesting. Starting out on a chest at sea in a world that only has sea is interesting as well. My favorite subgame is the tutorial.  Voxelgarden is good too.
I still think Minetest is not being used to the extent that it could be to make a game. It still feels like an amazing game engine waiting to power and amazing game. 

It just needs some people doing effort to make it a game, not an engine.
Why not to do a fork centered about gameplay instead of engine?

Happy 100 posts dude!
