I've been using this library for months, since I read about it on the Modding Book. Definitely worth it

This is not a game, it's bad advertising and it's constraining
If the game was called "Minetest Modding Base", "Minetest Core" or whatever, and people were warned it's just a base, it'd be fine. But it's not: Minetest Game is the greatest factor pushing new players away, as it's shipped by default with Minetest, having people thinking it's Minetest itself.
Every time I have someone downloading Minetest - and I'd like to stretch every time - I have to warn them to NOT play in singleplayer, at least not without having downloaded something from ContentDB first. This because, what people expect from a game/engine which resembles MineCRAFT starting by its very name, is to play a MineCRAFT clone by default. So wait: no monsters. No nether. No villagers. No blocks dropped. No challenge. NO GOALS. Hence the uninstalling and the very bad first impression. As I stated multiple times, this is very very very bad advertising. I don't have data, but if I had to guess how many people uninstalled MT after the first experience into a MTG world, it'd be a lot.
Also, I understand MT actually was born as a game, but that idea evidently failed, because this is NOT a game, this is THE FOUNDATION to create a very specific game (Minecraft, which afaik it was the initial goal). This is "create your personal Minecraft without sweating too much... kinda". So, if some developers keep denying that Minetest and Minecraft are the same (paramat actually called it Minecraft-like), this should be at least not be shipped by default. Because the more it gets shipped by default, the more likely modders will create mods depending on it, rooting it into the status quo even more, creating more bad advertising and pushing away more potential players.
And in all honesty, we don't need another Minecraft: pragmatically speaking, people nowadays are not taught the difference between proprietary and free software in school, and definitely it's not a hot topic in general.

That RPG Maker XP vibe
I'm very glad to have found a texture pack with a solid style like RPG16. I'd probably improve something here and there, but overall it's definitely a must for people trying to portray their world into an RPG adventure. Also, +1 for the RPG maker XP vibe and +1 for the wide range of packages supported :)

Very very useful, but broken since 5.3.0
The author doesn't seem to be active anymore and exposing the zoom key broke the mod. There is a working fork tho

leading the way for minigames
I'm obviously biased, as I'm the one who developed arena_lib, but Murder is quite a classic available in different games outside of Minetest. Sounds added in the 1.1.0 definitely increased the quality of the mod, as people can now understand their role much easier than before (it's also more immersive)

Simple yet effective
It brings back the MineCRAFT aesthetic, and it actually allows to do a lot more. Great job :)
