VoxeLibre is a survival sandbox game for Luanti. Survive, gather, hunt, mine for ores, build, explore, and do much more. Inspired by Minecraft, pushing beyond.

Originally forked from MineClone (by davedevils) as MineClone 2, then renamed and heavily improved. Developed by many people, see CREDITS.md for a complete list.

About

You start in a randomly generated world made entirely of cubes. You can explore the world, dig, and build using almost every available block to create new structures. You can choose to play in survival mode, in which you must fight monsters and stave off hunger while slowly progressing through various aspects of the game—such as mining, farming, and building machines. Alternatively, you can opt for creative mode, where you can do anything you can imagine with a snap of your fingers.

See GETTING_STARTED.md for a quick guide on how to start playing VoxeLibre.
