Is it possible to install games locally, or only globally or an a per-world basis?
I don't want to install one globally, because then it won't get backed up when I back up my home folder. But installing on a per-world basis requires me to use several copies of the same game data, or at least manually set up symbolic links.
Thank you!

I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

If you mean to install the whole game into 1 folder then yes. You would use the compile versions and compile it into a folder. This works for linux not sure for windows or osx. This folder can be placed anywhere you like. Place the folder before compiling btw.

You can install them in ~/.minetest/games/
I made a few (a lot of?) mods for minetest: here is a list.
See also the MT-Faithful texture pack (work in progress).

Not what I meant at all, but very useful information. I wanted to go back and check out the dungeons and jungles again in versions 0.3.1, And this will let me do that.
