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 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.
