Description

If you type minetest --ver in a terminal and then press tab, there's no autocompletion. Lots of other programs (e.g. pactl) provide autocompletion. The files enabling bash autocompletion are added in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Create a bash completion file for the 'luanti' command that suggests options. Look at existing scripts in /usr/share/bash completion/completions/ for reference. The file should be named 'luanti' and include completions for common options like version, help, and any mod related flags.
