An open source voxel game engine. Play one of our many games, mod a game to your liking, make your own game, or play on a multiplayer server.
Available for Windows, macOS, GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, and Android.
News: 5.9.1 released. (September 15th 2024 )
There are many games to choose from. You could survive in a harsh environment, build creatively, or fight other players. Just download a game or connect to a server.
With 62,000 × 62,000 × 62,000 blocks, there’s no running out of space. You can mine 31,000 blocks down, or build 31,000 blocks up.
Play by yourself, locally with your friends, or online with dozens of players on a server.
Not happy with the look of the textures? Change them!
Choose from many different fast map generators included in the engine, or install one as a mod.
Create your own voxel game using our Lua API. No need to worry about tricky voxel rendering or networking; instead, write scripts to add items and control game play.
Use the same Lua API to make mods for any Minetest-based game. Publish your mods on ContentDB, and contribute to others’ mods.
There are over 1100 open source mods on ContentDB, which are ready to be used, adapted or learned from.
You can find help with any problems from our community.
The engine is open source and transparently developed. Submit an issue for anything you’re missing, or get the source code and dig into it yourself.
