Full description
Minetest is an infinite-world block sandbox game and a game
engine, inspired by InfiniMiner, Minecraft and the like. It has
been in development and use since October 2010.
It is Free and Open Source Software, released under the LGPL 2.1
or later, available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
Minetest is developed by a random bunch of lunatics.
Minetest is designed to be simple, stable and portable. It is
lightweight enough to run on fairly old hardware. It currently
runs playably on a laptop with Intel 945GM graphics. Though, as
for the CPU, dualcore is recommended.
