Maps and Games.
Can you put a mod in your game folder?
Stuff in your "games" folder can be used without compiling...
.. it's LUA stuff, textures, and sounds.
I expect that soon enough Mobs will be in there too, so one "game" may work very differently than another.
Take for instance a steampunk "game": you change textures, sounds, mobs, and some functional things (like machines, zeppelins, and stuff); and you got something quite different than vanilla minetest.
Some texture packs (such as Tron) could potentially become different games altogether.

Unless otherwise specified: I use linux and run (and compile) the latest dev.
basically right now just mods and privs, like i said...textures will be in /minetest/textures.

Maybe I should have mentioned that I'm using the latest git build (right now I have: bee1adc651677fa98717901a5e8dac437c7f3383). Yeah, I compiled this today.
c55 decided to split the git repo into 2 (see http://c55.me/blog/?p=1001).
And as far as I can tell, the textures are now under minetest/games/game_name/module_name/textures/
Right now, game "minimal" has different textures than game "minetest_game".

Oh yeah, there was this post about it, he said he plans to put them into /minetest/textures/base/packname that is why the directory is there, then you point to it in minetest.conf. the texture in the games folder are the textures that come with the mods, changing your texture pack doesn't change your mod textures. Default is a mod with textures in it. It just so happens to be all of them. So in a game, all you can change is mod and privs.

By analogy ... you may consider
"game" as engine subclass
"world" as engine "instance" of a "game" subclass
and the "minetestserver" process as a singleton "world" runtime instance
then even it is allowed ... I should advice to not mix game and world ... no map in game ... nor no mod in map... but linked by definition (world.mt file in worlds subsubfolder ..)
... I wanna be a serial world spawner ..
