    I suppose. But I think, minetest as a project was strengthend by its proximity to minecraft. The big reason you pick up luanti is that its like minecraft, but free and with more modding freedom. I dont think this is bad thing to be reflected in a name. But good luck to them, maybe they can pull the name change off without hurting their public recognition too much.

      I always thought minetest is a cheap minecraft clone, mainly for testing or smth.

      So yeah, its a good name change

        Yeah. I agree it’s rough to lose existing recognition, but I think the test in the name was hurting adoption quite a bit.

        When I tried mineTest last, I was thinking, “what the hell, this will amuse me for an afternoon.”

        I did not expect a feature complete game engine with a better more polished game than vanilla MineCraft.
