Minetest servers allow players to play online with other people. They can be run from a dedicated server, a Virtual Private Server or a home computer. This is not a list of servers, please see the Minetest Forum servers section or the http://minetest.net/servers Minetest Server List] instead.

Server Setup

Setting up a server in such a way so that others may connect to it via the internet takes some time, and a little technical know-how.
Netbooks and Notebooks generally don't make for good server machines due to the fact that they typically have lower-end hardware.
Do not attempt to host a sizeable (over a few people) server on a wireless network, use a wired network instead.

See the server setup tutorial for a full explanation on setting up your own server.

Server Configuration

For a detailed explanation of the server configuration file, see the minetest.conf page.

Server Commands

See the server commands page for a list of useful commands.

Also see item codes for item codes for use with the /give command.
