Getting started

Are you a new user? Have a look at our Getting Started, FAQ, and For Players pages on our docs.
Otherwise, feel free to look at the changelog.

You may also want to look at some games. Games provide basic game play for the engine to run using Lua scripts. Different games have different objectives, such as survival, building or Player vs Player. You can then add mods on top of a game in order to customize your experience further.

Windows

Works on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10. May work on older versions, but not officially supported.

Stuck? See help on getting Luanti on Windows.

You can also get the latest development version of Luanti from builds made by community members. These builds are more recent than the officially released builds and contain new features (at the cost of stability).

Android

Android 6 or later is recommended.

Note: We advise not to use unofficial builds commonly found on the Play Store. They may contain excessive advertisements or spyware, or be distributed under proprietary terms.
