    Oh thank god. Minetest was the worst name, and the game is actually pretty cool. It definitely deserves a cool name, and Luanti sounds cool.

    I don’t really like the new name yet, but it’s a lot better than Minetest so I really can’t complain.

    Man, I saw them initiating discussions around the name like a year ago. I did not expect anything to actually come from that after all this time. But yeah, glad that it did.

    Now we just need a better default font. 🙃

    Oh man, I remember this from years ago when the only 1-up on Minecraft it had, was that I could run it at 60 FPS, infinite chunks in all directions, no extreme lag spikes while generating the map, and further view distance.

    Zero mods back then, so I’m happy to see the mod support!

    hope they improve upon it, the old (when the banning was implemented) version of minetest was horrible. I’ll be trying it soon :)

      Not sure why this was upvoted, the blog says it’s theirs.

      Moving Forward

      ­

      With the new name, a few changes will be made in the engine and community. Obviously, all the repositories and community hubs will adopt the Luanti name in some form. You’ll be able to find the website at luanti.org and [snip]

      They have already bought .org and .net. I guess they just haven’t set them up yet.

      Also luanti.net (which would be the most logical step to use that address because of the same TLD).

      Why isn’t something like this done prior to announcing the new name …

    I hope this is a joke cause Luanti sucks, stick with the already well known Minetest.
