Month: 2026-03 — Focused on path configuration deprecation migration for minetest/minetest. Implemented environment-based path configuration by introducing LUANTI_GAME_PATH and LUANTI_WORLD_PATH, migrating from deprecated MINETEST variables; updated core code to use the new variables for game and world paths, and added runtime warnings to guide users through migration. This change aligns with the deprecation policy and is tracked under commit 7aeedef227c746088a1ed39b88c75d594bf4b9e0 (#16816). No other major bugs were documented this month. Overall impact: improves forward-compatibility, maintainability, and provides a clear migration path for users.
