Minetest in a school

I'm looking to use Minetest in an educational environment, however the fact that the program gives the students a list of public servers is putting me off using it.

I also want to create a server in school for the children to build something together. So my question is, is there a way to remove the public server list but not remove Multiplayer functionality?

Thank you to anyone that answers this!

In each of their installs of minetest in minetest.conf put serverlist_url = 0 (it doesn't have to be zero could even probably be empty). I use minetest in school and that's what we do and connect via lan. Also if you are going to have them browse mods you might want to do a search/replace for the F bomb because of the wtf license for some. The newest git has them removed thanks to paramat.

Following on from that, is there a way to make only a specific server appear on that list?

thanks twoelk, that works.

However, putting serverlist_url = 0, suppresses the server list, but a 'Loading...' message is displayed there instead.
