    perhaps reiterate rather than reinvent?
    Mind you there are novel concepts.

    I guess general purpose game engines are able to support more concepts, so luanti doesn’t benefit those cases.

      Yeah, I think for me it (many of Luanti’s games) reiterates MC’s aspects more than I’d like. (aside from the completely non-MC games, which can be hit-or-miss IMO)

      This probably could be fixed, though it’s a somewhat-specific laundry list of things (one is less inventory management due to clutter) so I imagine it’s unlikely someone else will. I lack motivation, especially lacking a starting point. Although Luanti does seem like it’s probably easier to create mods/games for (assuming I haven’t missed something with MC, unless you could count data packs but I was gone before that made it to JE).

        Yeah, Luanti has an official modding API, which is documented and which doesn’t break with every release: https://api.luanti.org/

        For Minecraft Java Edition, they promised that a long time ago, but never delivered, so folks still just dick around with the decompiled code.
