@Cabbidachi Yes, there's a dedicated server in the Minetest executable as `minetest --server`, it's also possible to compile just the dedicated server as `minetestserver` for a smaller binary size. More info: https://wiki.minetest.net/Setting_up_a_server

@Hawk1291We're planning on redesigning the main menu, part of this is making it clear that mods and games are part of the intended experience

#Minetest no longer ships with a default game.For a long time, Minetest shipped with a default game called "Minetest Game". This was a fairly barebones survival game and gave a bad first impression. Minetest is all about customisation, the choice of multiple games is a big part of that. Now, new users are directed to choose a game using ContentDBWe'll be making further improvements in the future to make this process easier to understand

#Minetest 5.8 will have an improved settings menuThe new design should be much easier to use. Settings are organised in a more logical way, and you can see more settings without digging into a huge advanced settings tree#opensource

It's finally time. After years of deliberation, #Minetest is finally ready to adopt a new identity and prove it has moved beyond its original purpose. We can finally move past the "mining" and the "testing" and focus on making this platform the best it can be.#opensource #freesoftware #gamedevhttps://blog.minetest.net/2024/10/13/Introducing-Our-New-Name/
