News • Re: Luanti 5.15.2

At least one server I'm aware of uses a custom fork and porting to 5.x would be a lot of work.

Yeah it's a thing good I was late to Luanti, so I'm fine with it just the way it is.

You're never late. Breaking changes happen and they will likely happen again.

plus other small things made some people think "it's just not the same game any more!"

Well, it's not Minetest anymore. :^)

For the first one: Yeah, the 5.15.0 graphical glitch was harsh, but at least that was corrected in 5.15.1 (This new update only patches a security vulnerability), but we have little idea what 5.16.0 will bring (& break).

Honestly, the application being called Luanti makes sense, as it uses LUA script files, and MineTest would've caused some confusion with Microsoft's Minecraft and potentially cause legal disputes.
