This tutorial gives step by step directions on how to join the Booniez Test World in Minetest, as per February 13th 2023. If you get stuck, don't hesitate to ask for help in Discord-channel #minetest-testing.
Please note that as we are still in a testing phase, you will currently not be earning any crypto by playing. There are, however, several in-game events that are taking place regularly, where you can win NFTs by participating in them.
Step 1: Get your Game Account set up
Join The Uplift World Discord Server (https://discord.gg/JWQcn2kQ) and send a Direct Message to user ghobson#0388 containing the following information:
- Your desired in-game username
- Your desired password for logging onto the server
- Your WAX wallet address
- Optional: Your Ethereum Wallet address (only relevant if you own UDT tokens, which will give you certain in-game perks)
Note: In the near future you'll be able to create your own account and connect it to your blockchain wallets yourself, via the https://play.theuplift.world App. But until further notice, this must be done manually as described above.
