DESCRIPTION

17       Minetest is one of the first InfiniMiner/Minecraft(/whatever)  inspired
18       games (started October 2010), with a goal of taking the survival multi‐
19       player gameplay in a slightly different direction.
20
21       The main design philosophy is to keep it technically simple, stable and
22       portable. It will be kept lightweight enough to run on fairly old hard‐
23       ware.
