Minetest breaks the chains of being a Minecraft clone with a new name — Luanti
October 14, 2024
Minetest, a voxel game engine that has often been likened to a Minecraft clone, is embarking on a transformative journey to carve out its own distinctive identity. In a recent blog post, the development team shared insights into the origins of Minetest and its evolution, fueled by a vibrant and engaged community.
Introducing Luanti
At its core, Minetest serves as a versatile platform for various games, but the team recognized the need to shed the “Minecraft clone” label. This marks the end of an era for Minetest, as it embraces a new chapter with the introduction of Luanti. The name itself is a creative fusion of the Finnish word luonti, meaning “creation,” and Lua, the programming language that powers games and mods within the platform. This thoughtful combination reflects the essence of what Luanti aims to represent.
While the rebranding process is still underway, and some elements may take time to fully transition, the name Luanti resonates with the spirit of innovation and creativity. Although it may not immediately stand out in the minds of all users, the true impact of Luanti will likely be felt through the diverse array of games developed on its platform. Recently, the game previously known as MineClone2 has also embraced this shift, rebranding itself as VoxeLibre, further emphasizing the move towards a unique identity.

As the community continues to grow and evolve, the question remains: how will this new identity shape the future of gaming experiences within the Luanti ecosystem? Your thoughts and feedback are welcome in the comments section.
