NAME

       minetest - Multiplayer infinite-world block sandbox

SYNOPSIS

       minetest [ OPTION ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       Minetest  is  one  of  the  first InfiniMiner/Minecraft(/whatever) inspired games (started
       October 2010), with a goal of taking the  survival  multiplayer  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 hardware.
