- I have a seven year old nephew who I would like to find some computing activities that we could do together. Any ideas?

I don't get why people continue to recommend Minecraft when there is the much better open-source Luanti project: https://www.luanti.org/

This is confusing. So, Luanti is basically a clone of Minecraft? The docs say how to download the basic platform, and then to download any game.

But where do you start? There's no recommended or default game or world?

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 3 points 23 hours ago

No, Luanti is a platform for Minecraft like games, like a place to find lots of user generated games and such, I guess Roblox is a bit similar to that (I never tried Roblox, so I am guessing). It is also fairly easy to make your own games with it.

There are however games for Luanti that are very similar to Minecraft such as Voxelibre and Minecloina.

That project looks pretty nice, I've seen it before. When I ran a MineCraft server, I was heavy into shaders, plugins, addons, etc. I would say that the draw to MineCraft is that there are just endless things to integrate, almost infinitely if you have the resources to run it. As heavy into MineCraft as I got, I'm pretty sure I didn't even come close to exhausting it's possibilities.

Just be mindful of people online

@possiblylinux127 @poVoq Yeah at tis stage I'd like to have a closed environment for them.
