'''Note:''' Since version 0.4.14, Minetest has an “advanced settings” feature to change virtually all settings in Minetest, including a brief description of what each setting does. You will now rarely need to edit minetest.conf manually.<br />
<br />
'''minetest.conf''' is the configuration file used for numerous purposes. This file is read every time the game starts and is always created/modified when the menu quits.<br />
<br />
A file called [https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/minetest.conf.example minetest.conf.example] is provided as an example. See that file for a more complete list of options.<br />
<br />
== Location ==<br />
If you are running a portable build of Minetest (aka RUN_IN_PLACE=1, user data is stored alongside the executable), it loads from:<br />
* <code>../minetest.conf</code><br />
* <code>../../minetest.conf</code> (it can load settings from this location too, but will not write to it)<br />
<br />
If you are running a system-wide build of Minetest (user data is stored separate from the executable), it loads from:<br />
* <code>~/.minetest/minetest.conf</code><br />
<br />
A custom path to a configuration file can be specified in command line using the option <code>--config /path/to/minetest.conf</code>.<br />
<br />
== Controls ==<br />
In <code>minetest.conf</code>, you can configure most (but not all) keys, but a few more keys can be configured which are not configurable in the in-game settings menu; most notably, camera mode and minimap.<br />
<br />
A few things to note:<br />
<br />
* Controls are written in the format <code>keymap_<action name> = <key name></code>, e.g. <code>keymap_forward = KEY_KEY_W</code><br />
* The list of possible controls (value right of the equals sign) can be seen in [https://github.com/minetest/irrlicht/blob/master/include/Keycodes.h]. If your key isn't listed there, try writing the literal character<br />
* To disable a control completely, leave the part right of the equals sign empty, e.g. <code>keymap_toggle_debug =</code><br />
<br />
See [[Controls]] for a list of controls and their setting name (if available).<br />
