So many people think open source games are a no-go. But there are many good FOSS games. Luanti CTF is one of those games I really enjoy. It is based on the open source voxel game engine Luanti which has similarities with the closed source Minecraft game.

Showing server list in Luanti

I have been playing this game since youth years. And now I also develop the game :)

Server address: jmaminetest.mooo.com:30001

Some YT channels posting CTF vids:

Edit: See this post from rubenwardy on history of CTF. He started the game. And as he lost interest, he did a wise choice to hand it over to someone else.

    Don’t judge me, but I setup a minetest server and let my children use luanti and told them this is Minecraft.

    BTW, AES mini games are also fun. But the player base is much smaller. Good if you can coordinate with a number of friends to join there at the same time and have fun :)

      I agree Luanti isn’t the best choice for that rename, but at least they switched away from minetest. IMO the original name didn’t help it sound as a mature and active developed project.

      I get it, they needed to change from Minetest to something better (because of the test) and to not get associated or confused with the original Minecraft (because of the Mine). I don’t know what, but it sounds like they wanted to have a creative and somewhat original name. I admire this goal (if it was), but in the end the chosen name is not good. I forgot it was Minetest and opened the post to see what it is about.

      Well… I might agree but I don’t think I want another round of hot discussions and then a new name…
