FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

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!

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/

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.
