Luanti is a free software game engine to create various games based on voxel gameplay, inspired by InfiniMiner, Minecraft, and the like. Luanti was originally created by Perttu Ahola (alias “celeron55”).
The basic idea of each game is always the same: The player is thrown into a huge world made out of cubes/blocks. Most of the time, these cubes make the landscape and these blocks can be removed and placed almost entirely freely. Using the collected items, new tools and other items can be crafted. Games in Luanti can, however, be much more complex than this.
A core concept of Luanti is a built-in modding capability, based on the Lua programming language. Mods allow one or more certain aspects of an existing game to be modified. Luanti mods can be as simple as adding a few decorational blocks or very complex by (for example) introducing complex new gameplay concepts or generating a completely different kind of world, and many other things. For the player, using a new mod requires to copy or extract some files into a certain location and pressing some buttons in Luanti's interface.
Luanti can be played alone or online together with multiple players.
Games for Luanti can be found on ContentDB.
