    While Luanti is a game engine which is just a base for voxel stuff (not only games), Minecraft is a game which is harder to modify to play any voxel-based game.

    Minetest mods and games are created using lua, while terasology uses Java, this is arguably an advantage because java is better for large scale software development (e.g. it has a better performing implementation).

    Novetus hasn't really developed enough for a full-on alternative unlike MineTest, which has a very active community, maybe in the future, Novetus will be more than just gimmick software
