-#Start your server on your desired port
-#*'''Note''': It is recommended to leave the port at the default (30000)
-#Find out your internal IP of the computer you are running the server on
-#*'''Linux''': open a terminal and type <code>ifconfig</code> and hit enter
-#*'''Windows''': Start → Run … → <code>cmd.exe</code> → <code>ipconfig</code>
-#Check the port forwarding settings on your router
-#*forward your chosen port for UDP (30000 if you left it default) to the internal IP
-#*In addition, alter any firewalls you may have to pass the traffic at that port
-#To see how to '''run''' a server, please read the section below
-#Let your friends know your external IP
-#Add <code>server_announce = 1</code> to your minetest.config to announce it to a public server list.
-== Running a Server ==
-=== Linux ===
-#Open a terminal.
-#Type in <code>YOUR/MINETEST/DIRECTORY/bin/minetestserver</code> or just drop the minetestserver executable (located in <code>/Minetest/bin/</code>) into the terminal '''(PLEASE READ THE NOTES BELOW!)'''
-#*If you want to specify a specific game ID, the game ID choices are located in <code>/Minetest/games/</code>. Add in <code>--gameid '''thegameid'''</code> to the end of the command.
-#*If you get the error “Multiple worlds are available.”, the world choices are located in <code>/Minetest/worlds/</code>. Add in <code>--worldname '''theWorld'''</code> to the end of the command.
-#If your server crashes, then look at the <code>debug.txt</code> in <code>/Minetest/bin/</code>
-#Enjoy running a Minetest server!
-For easy use you can create an file named minetestserver.sh, add the lines below and put it in your /Minetest/bin/ folder. To run the server, just run the file in a terminal.
- #!/bin/bash -x
- ./minetestserver --gameid minetest --worldname world
-=== Windows ===
-#Open command prompt by going in the Minetest installation folder, then in the “bin” folder, hold Shift, do a right click on a empty file (not on minetest.exe), click “Open command window here”.
-#Type this: <code>minetest.exe --server</code>.
-#*If you get the error “Multiple worlds are available.”, use <code>minetest.exe --server --worldname '''world_name'''</code> instead, where <code>'''world_name'''</code> is the name of the world.
-#If your server crashes, then look at the <code>debug.txt</code> in <code>/Minetest/bin/</code>
-#Enjoy running a Minetest server!
-If you don't like to start the crashed server, simply start the server out of a batch file which contains the following code:
- @echo off
- :crash
- minetest.exe --server --worldname ''world_name''
- goto crash
