#2"Luanti"—a nice name!
Re: Introducing Our New Name
#3The new name isn't great (too many vowels in the same place, you couldn't spell it if you heard it) but at least it's original and doesn't sound like it's a knockoff test implementation of minecraft anymore.
Minetest is kind of a unique experiment in how modular a voxel game can be with mods. It's pretty cool. You just visit another server and it downloads and sets up all of the server's mods. You have dependencies and stuff so not every mod has to reinvent the wheel. Much better experience than minecraft modding.
Minetest should lean into this and make the core gamemode more different than minecraft. Change up the artstyle, and make the physics feel better.

That's how mods work in Minecraft bedrock

#5Name is awful but game itself looks awesome. Can any speak to how “good” it is, especially server play?
Re: Introducing Our New Name
#6The main website lists lots of games that are built on Minetest / Luanti. [1] Does anyone have opinions on which of them are the most fun to play?

Minecraft Bedrock Edition is Microsoft's freemium children's game where you buy "mods" and "skins" using minecoins and you can visit a number of pre-approved pay-to-win servers or pay Microsoft to host a "server" for you and like 8 other people as long as you obey the microsoft guidelines and drink enough verification cans.
You might be confusing it with a beloved viral indie PC game called Minecraft (2011) which is no longer for sale.

You mean you are presented with fifteen purchase dialogs the moment you enter a server?

Minecraft Bedrock isn't free is it? Not when I looked at getting it for my kids it wasn't.
