I suppose. But I think, minetest as a project was strengthend by its proximity to minecraft. The big reason you pick up luanti is that its like minecraft, but free and with more modding freedom. I dont think this is bad thing to be reflected in a name. But good luck to them, maybe they can pull the name change off without hurting their public recognition too much.
That was me after hearing MineClone and wanting to try it out. I was shocked how good it felt to play it (except for the soft lag and a bit clunky inventory)
In this case you trade it in for not being confused for Minecraft anymore though

I always thought minetest is a cheap minecraft clone, mainly for testing or smth.
So yeah, its a good name change
Yeah. I agree it’s rough to lose existing recognition, but I think the
testin the name was hurting adoption quite a bit.When I tried
mineTestlast, I was thinking, “what the hell, this will amuse me for an afternoon.”I did not expect a feature complete game engine with a better more polished game than vanilla MineCraft.
