From d10ea2ad7efc2364a8a2007b4c6d3e85511e2f84 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Maxime Devos <maximedevos@telenet.be>
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 Liliana Marie Prikler.
