+Date: Tue, 3 Aug 2021 01:00:23 +0200
+Subject: [PATCH] Add environment variable MINETEST_MOD_PATH
+
+This adds an environment variable MINETEST_MOD_PATH.
+When it exists, Minetest will look there for mods
+in addition to ~/.minetest/mods/. Mods can still be
+installed to ~/.minetest/mods/ with the built-in installer.
+
+With thanks to Leo Prikler.
