What actually is this? The Website is rather unhelpful. Its just a Minecraft clone?

What actually is this?

Luanti is the engine that MineClonia runs on, and Mineclonia is a full featured, finished, Minecraft clone.

The Website is rather unhelpful.

Seriously. It's a little sad.

Its just a Minecraft clone?

For practical purposes, it absolutely is.

Grab Luanti for free off of F-Droid or any Linux app store, or out of the SteamDeck Desktop "Software Center". Launch "Luanti", choose "Mineclonia". (Edit: or Windows or Mac, too. - Luanti - Getting Started.

Pick a username to "Register" (local play is identical to server play) and start playing free open, wonderful, easily modded, multiplayer Minecraft clone.

If a friend wants to join, just give them your IP address - even on SteamDeck or Android phone (edit: and Windows and Mac - sorry, no iPhone, I think.)

It started as minetest, an open source minecraft clone. It has since developed into a full voxel engine, supporting community made game modes and modpacks.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was talking about. What does that mean? Its a Minecraft clone?

It is a Minecraft clone, but it does a lot more. People are building new games with the same engine. It's called a voxel engine, because that the type of 3D that was popularized by minecraft.

I don't play Minecraft or Roblox, but this sounds like what I heard of the latter, not the former. You make games and they are available for people to play, or is there a difference I'm missing?
