Introducing Our New Name

After more than a year of public and internal discussions, we're ready to announce our new name!

Is it like Minecraft Alpha?” If you’ve been a member of our community for some time, you are probably aware of how often these questions remind us of what people think of when they hear the name “Minetest”: a rip-off of a similar genre-defining game. The goal was to avoid yet another plain English word (good luck finding something unique…) and highlight the core principles of the project. But describing that in the new name would limit the platform in the same way as the original: users and developers would come to expect it to be an engine exclusive to cube games when it can be more than that.
