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.
