Bug 679730 was to upgrade games-action/minetest to the new version 5.0.1. games-action/minetest was upgraded today, but games-action/minetest_game is still at 0.4.17. I have filed this as "major" because the version of games-action/minetest_game should match games-action/minetest to avoid problems, as unless you're an advanced user of Minetest who knows what you're doing, games-action/minetest_game is basically required for single-player play or running a server. See: https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/games-action/minetest_game
Using games-action/minetest-5.0.1 and games-action/minetest_game-0.4.17, I was able to create a basic map, no mods, in singleplayer mode and move around. I haven't tested the two fully, just for a few minutes.

=games-action/minetest_game-5.0.1 was added on April 10th. Should we close this bug?
