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?
That's pretty good summary of Luanti.
The interesting nuance is that Luanti was originally built as the engine for making a faithful Minecraft clone, so the two popular Minecraft clones are extremely faithful to Minecraft, in ways that a clone built in another engine could not be.
