    I think VoxeLibre is a great name. MineClone needed to go as a name and I honestly don’t like Minetest either since it implies that the game is janky and half finished, which it isn’t but even if it was there is no sense cementing that longterm as the name of the game in people’s minds.

    Anyways, great news in my opinion!

      Yeah I also think VoxeLibre is a better name since it’s not just a Minecraft clone (anymore) but more of a own thing.

      But Minetest is a tougher question imo, because many people think it is the whole game while it’s mostly just the engine for other games, e.g. VoxeLibre. So maybe a engine themed name would be better for Minetest?
