Zander, new versions often come with bugs, so to avoid massive problems with packages, the stable versions, not the newest, appear in the softwarecenter. I think that's ok.
By the way, I have Minetest Version 0.4.4 in the repositories, not 0.3.1!
I looked on the project homepage, and there are .deb files to download for 0.4.7.

Uninstall outdated Minetest-package. Then install the program Gdebi from the Softwarecenter.
Download
for amd64: minetestc55_0.4.7-0ppa1~raring1_amd64.deb
or for 32-bit: minetestc55_0.4.7-0ppa1~raring1_i386.deb
Got to your Download-folder and right click on the downloaded Minetest-package - Open with... - Gdebi installer - Ok. The package should install. When it's done close Gdebi and search in the Dash for Minetest.
