Windows

Works on Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11. May work on older versions, but not officially supported.

Luanti is distributed as a portable .zip archive on Windows. Extract it to a folder you have write permissions, and run luanti.exe which can be found in the bin folder.

Luanti MSYS2 package (community-maintained)

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.

Alternatively, download the APK:

ARM (for most devices): 64-bit - 32-bit
