This allows for easily running different games/worlds with a quick command
Place minetest@.service in ~/.config/systemd/user to be able to run without sudo.
Usage: systemctl --user [start|stop|status|restart] minetest@aftermath for example
To keep the session when user logs out: loginctl enable-linger [username]

Inspired by this, I might add something with EnvironmentFile as well to use different ports.
