SYNOPSIS

minetestserver [SERVER OPTIONS] [COMMON OPTIONS] [WORLD PATH]
DESCRIPTION
Minetest is one of the first InfiniMiner/Minecraft(/whatever) inspired
games (started October 2010), with a goal of taking the survival multi‐
player gameplay to a slightly different direction.
The main design philosophy is to keep it technically simple, stable and
portable. It will be kept lightweight enough to run on fairly old hard‐
ware.
