Yeah, I've been on a minetest kick lately and it's a great game, and I can understand not wanting to call it "minetest", but minetest is 2 english words mashed together and one of them is extremely relevant/descriptive of the game in question. I personally even think that it's fine that it sounds like minecraft, because it... is basically minecraft but proper FOSS; that's approximately the reason I like it. This new name contains zero english words and frankly I'm having trouble getting my brain to hold it at all. Lua... something. And I only remember "lua" because I already knew about the programming language. I think I'm going to have to set up an alias or something on my machines so I can actually launch the thing now...
I highly recommend Nodecore. Try to see how far you can get without looking anything up. For certain kinds of brains it's a uniquely satisfying experience.

It's really weird to see it on HN as I've been diving into it hard this past week.
Voxelibre is a fantastic standalone pack, and I'm trying out some of the others.
I haven't ventured online but will at some point
