Luanti (formerly Minetest) is a free and open-source voxel game engine and game-creation platform. It provides a configurable client and a dedicated server to build, mod, and host voxel-based games and multiplayer worlds.

Key Features

  • Voxel world engine with support for singleplayer and multiplayer gameplay
  • Lua-based modding and game creation for extensible mechanics and content
  • Dedicated server for hosting persistent worlds and community servers
  • In-game chat and command system with privileges for server administration
  • Configurable controls and settings via config files and command-line options

Use Cases

  • Host a private multiplayer voxel world for friends, classrooms, or communities
  • Build a custom voxel game by combining or writing Lua mods
  • Run a lightweight game server for sandbox, survival, or creative gameplay modes

Luanti is well-suited for developers and communities that want a moddable voxel engine with an active ecosystem of games and mods. It can run as a client, a standalone server, or both, depending on your deployment needs.
