minetest: Start Minetest in server mode by hosting a specific world.
$ minetest --server --world ${name}
try on your machine

The command minetest --server --world ${name} is used to start a Minetest server and load a specific world.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • minetest: This is the executable file for the Minetest game.
  • --server: This flag indicates that the Minetest instance should be run in server mode, which means it will function as a multiplayer server.
  • --world ${name}: This flag specifies the world to be loaded by the server. ${name} is a placeholder for the actual name of the world. You need to replace ${name} with the name of the world you want to load.

For example, if you have a world named "myworld", you would run the command as minetest --server --world myworld to start the Minetest server and load the "myworld" world.
