Command Line

Many options of Minutor can be set also via the command line interface. This is especially useful, when doing batch processing for automatic image creation or when you prefer to have a personalized start location. The options have long descriptive and short versions which can be used arbitrary.

All options are processed in the order they occur on command line. Therefore it is important to --load the world before --jump to any location or doing any other setting.
