Already done. PilzAdam is always miles ahead of you ;-)

add dificult serrings

I assume that you meant "add difficulty settings"?

If a game wants to add a difficulty setting, it needs to do it itself. Besides, there isn't much that would increase the difficulty of minest_game as of now without just being an annoyance. (in other words, that isn't the job of the minetest engine)

I really like the new settings menu, now I can easily tweak my graphics settings and get 60 FPS! (with shaders! on a laptop!)

And because of the new found ability to change every aspect of my minetest.conf with ease, I even tried MT on my 3D TV!! It worked quite well, but the formspecks dont display right, they display over the 3D side by side/interlacing.

This option is in the version 0.4.13. or there is a actualisation?

excuse my ignorance, but what is the dev version Minetest?

It's the latest build from GitHub.

To be honest, it is very difficult. New settings will not be understood by new players and have terribly stupid GUI. You can hide most of the settings and add the checkbox "Show profound settings"
So, I can not push many ellementy on Android. The buttons would have been much easier to list.

Agreed.

Move the following settings from Server/Singleplayer->Game: "Default password" and "Disallow empty passwords" to Server/Singleplayer->Security.

Small suggestion: Make settings which have been altered from the default (will be written into minetest.conf) in a different color. This can be helpful not to lose track because they are so many settings.
