I want to start the game, select/create world, load it, and launch /emergeblocks <pos1> <pos2>

As I understand, GUI and playing is not needed for it. As a result, less memory and CPU resources would be used and task could be executed faster.

Can I run minetest game without GUI?

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

EDIT: In short:

Code: Select all: minetestserver --worldname foo --gameid minetest --terminal

Have you tried reading the error?

Yes. But I still don't understand what the problem is.

Focus on the last line that contains the word ERROR. It actually is giving you instruction how to resolve. :)

Hint: a minetest server needs to know who the admin is. That admin will have every priv available, including server.

OK. I understood I need to add "name = <admin_name>" to minetest.conf to define admin's name to log in using that name. How to make account with that name?

Sorry. I did not understand you.

Open a client and connect to your server using the admin username.
