## What it is
VoxelCore is an open-source voxel game engine written in C++ with OpenGL rendering and Lua scripting support. It provides the core systems for building block-based sandbox games similar to Minecraft.

## Use cases
- build a voxel sandbox game
- create a Minecraft-like game engine
- learn voxel engine development in C++
- prototype block-based 3D worlds
- extend a voxel game with Lua scripting

## When to choose
- you want a ready-made voxel engine foundation in C++
- you need cross-platform OpenGL voxel rendering with Lua modding
- you want to study or fork an actively developed voxel engine

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose 3D engine for non-voxel games
- you require a permissive license - the repo has no license specified
- you want a mature engine with extensive tooling and ecosystem

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: game-engine, graphics, simulation
- domain: graphics, cross-platform
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: voxel-game, opengl, lua-scripting, minecraft-like, cmake, game-development, linux, macos
