A kind user agreed to a tech trade, I'll teach her git, she'll teach me mobmaking. I will take a video of the process and document it on youtube. This is what I need to know:

How to start. Which view, any plugins, anything above "install blender and open the program"
How to make a simple model. Let it be some shapes stacked on each other. That's pretty much blender knowledge, right?
= Now we have a model without colours or animations, right?
How to export this model without colours or animations. I assume that's where the version and the plugin comes into play?
= Let's test this model in Minetest, so we can be sure.
UV mapping. How do we apply colours?
= Let's test this model in Minetest, so we can be sure colours work
bones. I somehow need to rig that model with bones.
animations. From bones to animations. let's use the stack of blocks and attach some limb
= Export and test again: How do I tell the model what animation to play? That's coding related, I assume?
How do I move a single bone from ingame code? petz does it with the "look_at_owner" mechanic

I'd prefer to use blender 3.x, my teacher uses blender 2.9

Here's the plugin necessary for export: https://github.com/GreenXenith/io_scene_b3d

It pains me to link to the wiki, but here's the wikipage regarding mobmaking: https://wiki.minetest.net/Using_Blender

Here is the 6 year old tutorial which I attempted but failed on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9SYMw3UaSk
