NAME

       minetest, minetestserver - Multiplayer infinite-world block sandbox

SYNOPSIS

       minetest [--server SERVER OPTIONS | CLIENT OPTIONS] [COMMON OPTIONS] [WORLD PATH]

       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  multiplayer  gameplay  in  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.
