The 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?

IDK a lot of the games feel really lame but there is this one CTF server that was fun. I might be too old for this stuff but I think it could be the next roblox if you could get it running inside of a webpage with WebGL.

Just scrolling through the list I found some interesting ones that really think outside the box (no pun intended), like this one that generates 3D-printable models.

I haven't played much myself, but VoxeLibre (and Mineclonia) are pretty good Minecraft replicas.

My only complaint is mobile controls. Desktop is decent but the mobile version (off F-droid) leaves much to be desired.

VoxeLibre is trying to be less of a Minecraft replica, now. Mineclonia still is, though.

But don't people playing Minecraft play it for the fun mods? And people playing Luanti play mods that replicate the original Minecraft? They've gone full circle in too little steps.

Some subset of them does, many do not.

Can recommend Glitch. A fun singleplayer parkour game with a story.

Most mods are for minetest_game, so if you pick a different base you can't use them all. I always just added a bunch of mods on top of minetest_game.
