<p>“Is this a Minecraft clone? Is it like Minecraft Alpha?” If you’ve been a member of our community for some time, you are
probably aware of how often these questions remind us of what people think of when they hear the name “Minetest”: a
rip-off of a similar genre-defining game. Truth be told, that was celeron55’s initial plan. But things change, and
Minetest evolved. Now, the time has come for Minetest to assume a new identity and prove it has moved beyond its
original purpose.</p>

<h2 id="a-bit-of-history">A Bit of History</h2>
<p>After seeing Minecraft’s alpha debut, celeron55 “took it as a challenge” to explore “the mystery of how a game world
like this works under the hood”<sup id="fnref:wikinews" role="doc-noteref"><a href="#fn:wikinews" class="footnote" rel="footnote">1</a></sup>. The name wasn’t very important; it was a test after all— an experiment to
see what it could do differently. An experiment that began attracting more users and contributors throughout the years
until Minetest eventually evolved from a game to what it is today: a game platform.</p>
<p>Through the efforts of the community over the past decade, Minetest has developed a unique identity with an approachable
API and easy scripting language, support for community-created games and mods, a central library to easily find
community content, and more recently a shift to promoting community creations instead of the original Minetest Game.
Despite these advancements, one anachronistic holdover has remained to remind us of the past: an idea that no longer
describes the purpose of this project and community— its name.</p>
<p>After more than a year of public and internal discussions, that era is over. “Minetest” is no more; the “Minecraft
clone” is no more. With great thanks to the community for their input, we wave goodbye to Minetest and introduce a new
era. Welcome 🥁 … <strong>Luanti!</strong></p>
<h2 id="luanwhat">Luanwhat?</h2>
<p>“Luanti” is a wordplay on the Finnish word <em>luonti</em> (“creation”) and the programming language <del>Minetest</del> Luanti employs

on content creation resulted in the birth of “Luanti”.</p>
<p>We decided to avoid using “free” or “libre” in the name because we don’t think it does the project justice. Luanti will
always be free software, but that core principle is not everything it has to offer. Projects like Blender, Krita, or
Godot are awesome, and they don’t need to convince you about their libre nature by putting it in their names. They are
libre, but they’re also much, much more!</p>
