So many people think open source games are a no-go. But there are many good FOSS games. Luanti CTF is one of those games I really enjoy. It is based on the open source voxel game engine Luanti which has similarities with the closed source Minecraft game.

Showing server list in Luanti

I have been playing this game since youth years. And now I also develop the game :)

Server address: jmaminetest.mooo.com:30001

Some YT channels posting CTF vids:

Edit: See this post from rubenwardy on history of CTF. He started the game. And as he lost interest, he did a wise choice to hand it over to someone else.

Edit2: This server, and also other servers in the JMA network is strictly family friendly. Bear this in mind when playing on the server. This also means it could be a good playground for your kids, if you've got any :)

BTW, AES mini games are also fun. But the player base is much smaller. Good if you can coordinate with a number of friends to join there at the same time and have fun :)

Don't judge me, but I setup a minetest server and let my children use luanti and told them this is Minecraft.

Me little cousins call all these games "Minecrafts" and then call Luanti "A minecraft". Like "I have installed a good minecraft" xD

And BTW, I edited the post. JMA servers are strictly family friendly. So you can join with your kids. Actually, there are few father-daugher or father-son who play together. I think there were also husband-wife couples but dunno if they still are around.

Luanti is such a terrible name for what used to be called Minetest.

[–] mamg22@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 weeks ago

I agree Luanti isn't the best choice for that rename, but at least they switched away from minetest. IMO the original name didn't help it sound as a mature and active developed project.

[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 weeks ago

I get it, they needed to change from Minetest to something better (because of the test) and to not get associated or confused with the original Minecraft (because of the Mine). I don't know what, but it sounds like they wanted to have a creative and somewhat original name. I admire this goal (if it was), but in the end the chosen name is not good. I forgot it was Minetest and opened the post to see what it is about.

Well... I might agree but I don't think I want another round of hot discussions and then a new name...

Luanti is awesome! Will check out the server 👍

[–] farooqkz@realbitcoin.cash 2 points 4 weeks ago

Let me know your username. I like farming noobs >:)

[–] maxihuenu@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

it doesn't accept more people?

[–] farooqkz@realbitcoin.cash 1 points 2 weeks ago

Sometimes they close it to prevent attacks. You can email server admins to ask for an account if the server is in lockdown.

Looks pretty cool, but jmaminetest.mooo.com:30001 is unusable since they block VPN's

I got into your-land.de

[–] farooqkz@realbitcoin.cash 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can email Loki or other admins to unblock you. I also use a proxy through me VPS in SE to connect to the server. Your land is a building survival server.

The fun is in CTF which is FPS-like :))

Blocking subnets is very 2003ish. Emailing them is a no go, my IP changes with every session. Will have to try other CTF servers.

[–] farooqkz@realbitcoin.cash 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thank you for your suggestion. I am a developer there and I can tell them about this. However, they will whitelist your username not your IP. So you can email them.

[–] CashDragon@realbitcoin.cash 1 points 2 weeks ago

OK, I will try to email them, thanks for explaining.
