Ever heard of Luanti? (or Minetest)

[WhiteFelineWonder]

Has anybody else heard about Luanti/Minetest? It's this open source voxel game engine, and some people say it's like Minecraft. There's different games made for it, lots of mods, it even has VoxeLibre too.
I play this as an alternative to Minecraft, and the more I spend with it the more I honestly see less of a reason to get and install Minecraft. Some of the mods that I really like are Travelnet, hang glider, colored water, Everness, Ethereal NG, & SkinsDB as well as i3 which overhauls the inventory system completely.
I've yet to explore the multiplayer side of Luanti, though.

But that aside, have you heard of Luanti too? What are your thoughts on it?

This is my first time ever hearing of Luanti! I think it's neat! I like that it's open source.

For me specifically though, I don't really see a point. I think this would be great for someone who wants to play Minecraft but doesn't want to have to buy it, but for me, I've had Minecraft for over 10 years now. Minecraft still has more mods and resource packs, and I couldn't find any Luanti mods that were even similar to my favourites for Minecraft.

I would consider playing it if a friend of mine invited me to play with them, or if I saw a particular game type that really grabbed me, but I think that's about it TwT

yea i actually have it.

it's kinda okay, it's the only way i can get more modern Minecraft features - actual Minecraft even with heaps of optimisations will just run like shit on my old laptop. i could run it on a gaming PC and maybe a more modern mid-range laptop, but my laptop's from 2013 qwq

it's fine i think, i get some of the things on it are straight-up Minecraft 'clones' -- but i feel they're best for people with older/weaker hardware that can't play actual modern Minecraft for various reasons. my laptop literally plays Java Edition 1.12.2 at ~25FPS with OptiFine and things installed, and anything higher can be easily in single-digits
