Voxelgarden

A classic game for Luanti, to explore, survive and build.

Compatible with most mods for Minetest Game.

Getting Started

Open your inventory and take a look at the Recipes tab. Select items to see how they can be made and select them twice to see what can be made out of them.

The first-most resource needed to progress is crumbled stone. Combine 4 of it to make cobblestone, which is the material for stone tools.

To get sticks, place 3 leaves vertically on the crafting grid. Besides tools and torches, sticks are also used to make campfires, a cheap early-game replacement for cobblestone furnaces.

Depending on the biome, it might be harder or easier to find food. Usually, the easier and faster method to get food is to hunt rats. After killing one, it can be cooked it in a furnace or on a campfire to make some nutritious rat meat.

The base game mechanics aren't too difficult to get used to. The progression is fairly obvious from this point onwards. Follow the recipes. Alloy new metals. Go to the Nether.

Build a house. Plant a tree. Raise a rat.
