Server

This article is incomplete. Please help expand this article to include more useful information.

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 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 this forum thread for an explanation on setting up your own server.
