Oh thank god. Minetest was the worst name, and the game is actually pretty cool. It definitely deserves a cool name, and Luanti sounds cool.
never thought i’d see minetest rebranding itself (if rebrand is the correct word at all anyway)
I like the meme.
I just wish they would merge the “truly infinite worlds” branch. The horizontal limits are to tight for this kind of game.
Is this an out-of-season April Fools’ joke?
That woul’ve been: Minetest Immortal
How are you guys pronouncing this?
Personally, I’ve found it sounds kind of nice when said like “Loon tea”.
The german way
Luh-Anti?
That’s pretty much how it sounded in my lingual mind.
Except Loo (Lew) instead of Luh Lu-Auntie.
To go with your Lu-Vati & Lu-Mudder

It’s finnish, so like it’s written. Foreign concept for english speakers, I know.
It is quite literally a foreign concept to anyone who only speaks English. That’s how foreign languages work.
How is the word pronounced though?
I’m a finn, so the only advice I can give is that it’s pronounced like luanti in finnish.
Not very useful, I know, sorry. Nau ai häv tu kou präktis mai rälli inglish.
It just looks like “Loo wan tee” to me.
Edit: Actually, just read the article, and considering the name Luanti is a mix between the Finnish word “creation” and the LUA programming language; and I’m preeetty sure LUA is pronounced “loo-wah” or “lew-ah”, I think the Luanti pronunciation is more likely to be “loo-wun-tee”.
Lmao loo nah tee, like illuminati :D
Loo-wun-tee?
I don’t really like the new name yet, but it’s a lot better than Minetest so I really can’t complain.
Man, I saw them initiating discussions around the name like a year ago. I did not expect anything to actually come from that after all this time. But yeah, glad that it did.
Now we just need a better default font. 🙃
Oh man, I remember this from years ago when the only 1-up on Minecraft it had, was that I could run it at 60 FPS, infinite chunks in all directions, no extreme lag spikes while generating the map, and further view distance.
Zero mods back then, so I’m happy to see the mod support!
hope they improve upon it, the old (when the banning was implemented) version of minetest was horrible. I’ll be trying it soon :)
It’s nice to see open-source things copying what dot-coms do when they’re bored.
Wait. No it’s not. It’s actually worrying.
I worked for a company named essentially “The Portland Office”, and it had that name for 30 years; because, honestly, who cares about a name? The product should stand out.
Even if you can objectively see the name as just a name, many people sadly can’t. It is really difficult to recommend others to join, just because they come with the idea that it’s a minecraft clone and since it’s not a clone it feels janky.
I’m glad they dropped the name for something new.

I hope this is a joke cause Luanti sucks, stick with the already well known Minetest.
