-Minetest supports serveral database backends. This page provides a comparison of all three backends.

-The database backend is set using the <code>backend</code> setting in ''world.mt''.
-If you want to migrate a world to a new backend use <code>minetestserver --migrate [name of new backend] --world [path to your world directory]</code>

-== SQLite3 ==
-SQLite3 is the default backend for all Minetest worlds, it is supported by every Minetest builds and is therefore the standard database format that is used to distribute worlds.
-== LevelDB ==
-LevelDB is mostly used on servers because of it's improved reliability and the ability to use more than 4GB space.
-== Redis ==
-Redis support was added to Minetest in April 2014, redis is mainly useful for servers as it allows multiple worlds to be stored in one redis instance.
-Information about setting up a redis server can be found here: http://redis.io/topics/quickstart
-=== world.mt settings for redis ===
-<code>redis_address</code> '''--''' The IP or hostname of the redis server.
-<code>redis_port</code> '''--''' The port of the redis server. ''Optional, default: 6379''
-<code>redis_hash</code> '''--''' Hash where the MapBlocks are stored in, if you want multiple worlds in one redis instance this needs to be different for each world.
-== Dummy ==
-A dummy database backend.
