* `world.mt` is the definition of the world, is the only file that must be present before anything,
if the world is new or if the other files are already present, this must be in sync with.
* **minetest.conf** : the config file that the server must use to start, it defines the path to the world place
and the usage of the gameid of the world, also paramteters to run the host of the game, the minimal ones
to be configure are:
* `default_game` it defines the `gameid` to be used inside the running minetest server adn for the world.
and the usage of the gameid of the world, you will now rarely need to edit minetest.conf manually cos the GUI
screen provide you a interface to confgure it all. This file is read every time the game starts and is always
created/modified when the menu quits.
* Loading path: it loads from:
* `../minetest.conf` if you are configuring build for `RUN_IN_PLACE=1` that means all the minetest
files are running from one place.
* `../../minetest.conf` also, but will not write to it, if you are configuring build for `RUN_IN_PLACE=1`
that means all the minetest files are running from one place.
* `~/.minetest/minetest.conf` if you are running a system wide installation, like a package
from distribution or if configuring build for `RUN_IN_PLACE=0`
* Custom path in command line using the option `--config /path/to/minetest.conf` of the server
binary program.
* Contains paramteters to run the host:
* `default_game` it defines the `gameid` to be used inside the running minetest server adn for the world.
Rest of files and setting are enough as default and must be tuned depending of the target of the dessired game.
