      What actually is this? The Website is rather unhelpful. Its just a Minecraft clone?

        What actually is this?

        Luanti is the engine that MineClonia runs on, and Mineclonia is a full featured, finished, Minecraft clone.

        The Website is rather unhelpful.

        Seriously. It’s a little sad.

        Its just a Minecraft clone?

        For practical purposes, it absolutely is. Grab Luanti for free off of F-Droid or any Linux app store, or out of the SteamDeck Desktop “Software Center”. Launch “Luanti”, choose “Mineclonia”.

        Pick a username to “Register” (local play is identical to server play) and start playing free open, wonderful, easily modded, multiplayer Minecraft clone.

        If a friend wants to join, just give them your IP address - even on SteamDeck or Android phone.

        It started as minetest, an open source minecraft clone. It has since developed into a full voxel engine, supporting community made game modes and modpacks.

            It is a Minecraft clone, but it does a lot more. People are building new games with the same engine. It’s called a voxel engine, because that the type of 3D that was popularized by minecraft.

              I don’t play Minecraft or Roblox, but this sounds like what I heard of the latter, not the former. You make games and they are available for people to play, or is there a difference I’m missing?
