## What it is
Luanti (formerly Minetest) is a free open-source voxel game engine and game-creation platform with easy modding via Lua. It ships as a playable game plus a client/server for building and sharing custom voxel worlds and games.

## Use cases
- play a free open-source voxel sandbox game like Minecraft
- create my own voxel game without writing a full engine
- make mods for a voxel game using Lua
- host my own multiplayer voxel game server
- build custom worlds and minigames with friends

## When to choose
- you want an open-source, moddable Minecraft-like voxel platform
- you want to create or host your own voxel games and servers
- you prefer lightweight performance and Lua-based modding

## When to avoid
- you need AAA graphics or official Minecraft compatibility
- you want a finished commercial game rather than a creation platform

## Facets

- maturity: active
- function: game-engine, gui, plugin-system, interpreter
- domain: gaming-tools, cross-platform
- platform: windows, cpp, lua
