#Luanti / #Minetest is looking really good these days, especially for a free / #opensource voxel game; with water shaders, reflections, specular highlights, real time shadows, etc.
The kids wanted to play Minecraft together and I nearly flipped tables after dealing with the launcher/ M$ account shit etc. for 2 minutes. 🤯 Just NO. But.. It took me 5 minutes to learn Minetest / Luanti exists, download and run two copies, create a LAN game on one notebook and join it on another. Great experience.. zero bullshit - just a folder with the game files, a client.exe - Zen! 😌 Thanks to @Luanti and all the people working on this! 💙
#Luanti is going to be at #FOSDEM 25 in Brussels! Come along on 1st-2nd February for stickers and more 🙂 https://fosdem.org/2025/
#Luanti 5.10.0 has been released! Highlights include a content browser redesign, support for the modern glTF model format, gettext translation support, new visual effects, an API for per-player objects, usability improvements, and more.
Griaß Enk!
Am 26. April 2025 gibt es die Mini-#FrogLabs bei den #Grazer Linux-Tagen. #Kinder/#Jugendliche ab 9 Jahren können sich bei uns mit #Minetest / #Luanti, #Python, #Elektronik, uvm. beschäftigen.
https://teckids.org/blog/2024/10/einladung-glt/
Für alle, die Lust haben und vielleicht mit ihren Eltern von weiter weg zu den @linuxtage anreisen, gibt es ein optionales Vortagsprogramm mit Übernachtung – **Voranmeldung bis Ende Dezember notwendig**!
So 100% verstanden habe ich es zwar noch nicht, aber ich denke ich werde es mal in Debian Junior aufnehmen.
The #Luanti game jam is back for 2024!
Your mission: from Nov 1st to Nov 22nd, make an awesome Luanti game from scratch.
That's 3 weeks, 3 (or more..) winners, and some neat prizes (server hosting! shirts!). Anyone can make games, so give it a shot!
You can find all the information about the jam at https://jam.minetest.net/
Feel free to ask questions on any of the Luanti discussion platforms or this year's forum thread
Unsere neuen #Minetest-Flyer sind da! Man bekommt sie zum ersten Mal nächstes Wochenende beim #FutureCamp in #Bonn.
Wer andere für offene Spiele begeistern will, kann aber auch gerne einen Stapel von uns zugeschickt bekommen!
(Sobald man #Luanti sinnvoll unter dem Namen findet, gibt es eine neue Auflage.)
Played with the graphical settings of #MineTest / #Luanti and if you turn on the real time shadows and shaders and such, the game can actually look pretty darn good for a pixel-y voxel game. Many of these settings, including the real time shadows, are disabled by default. I am playing with them set to medium. Watching the sunset create realistic long shadows behind objects and watching the shadows move with the objects casting them is pretty stinkin' cool.
#Minetest was renamed to #Luanti !
@Minetest: I think this is a great choice. Thank you!

It's finally time. After years of deliberation, #Minetest is finally ready to adopt a new identity and prove it has moved beyond its original purpose. We can finally move past the "mining" and the "testing" and focus on making this platform the best it can be.
