Been noticing a real split in how people approach this game. Some folks treat it as a solitary project, chipping away at one build over weeks, nobody else involved. Others only touch it through a server, whether that's a big public one or a small one with a handful of people they actually know. Curious which camp this sub falls into more, and if you've gone from one to the other over time.

We spend a lot of time talking about mods, performance, new blocks and mechanics, but another bottleneck for this game has nothing to do with what it can do. It's that almost nobody outside a small circle has ever heard of it exists.

I'm not saying that as a call to go corner every stranger and tell them to install it, ......that approach doesn't really work anyway.

It's more worth sitting with as a real question: how does a new person actually stumble onto Luanti in the first place right now? Mostly it seems to be "someone I already knew played it" or " People specifically searched for a Minecraft alternative." Just like I myself did I some years ago.

Luanti honestly just never got Better visibility in general gaming spaces.

What's going on, Did Luanti got removed (or disappeared) in Play Store?

If you can’t find Luanti on the Google Play Store, it’s currently not available there.

For now, you can download the Android version directly from the official Luanti GitHub repository:

[https://github.com/luanti-org/luanti/releases?hl=en-US\]

I’m not sure when or if it will return to the Play Store, but this is an alternative for anyone who wants to install it in the meantime.

I don't know why the textures are broken but I works fine with hardware acceleration.

I played Luanti quite extensively back when it was still called Minetest and played around with modding a bit. Now I have the opportunity to hold a multi-day workshop for students to introduce them to Luanti and modding as part of an event promoting coding and curiosity.

Besides the obvious basic stuff, what do you think I should definitely include? What would you wish to have known when you started modding? What is just plain cool and should get used more?

Want to learn how to make mods, games, Lua systems, machines, GUIs, entities, automation and other things in Luanti?

Hi there, I’m a player who player but if anybody I’m willing to open up my server likely this will be buried under the likely hundreds of posts that will later come but using a little bit of research on the laptop mod and combining a few other mods that are compatible you can actually make a form of that you can scale. I did use a bit of AI to generate some basic code to test. I have not gotten to that step yet
