darkplaces VS ezquake-source

It's not, but the DarkPlaces engine [0] reimplements many, if not all, of the realtime shadow features and has an X64 Mac build (but no ARM build, as far as I'm aware), and is still getting active contributions on its Github repo[1].

Much of DP's development was centered about being a capable engine for new games, while remaining reasonably compatible with Quake. Also, DP's perceived abandonment seems to have been overcome, with DP now being hosted at https://github.com/DarkPlacesEngine/darkplaces with somewhat frequent updates. I guess that Wrath's development may be at play here.

I just checked and the github seems active, with people editing stuff. Maybe dowload fro there and recompile. https://github.com/DarkPlacesEngine/darkplaces

ezQuake https://github.com/QW-Group/ezquake-source (I understand this and Qrack were used heavily in multiplayer?)

modern quakeworld clients have a lot of improvements added over the years: https://github.com/QW-Group/ezquake-source/releases

QuakeWorld (the "Internet" version of quake 1) is still very active. The source code was open-sourced by Carmack many years ago and the community has been evolving the clients ever since. Today the most popular one - ezquake [0] - features many improvements in performance, networking and teamplay features.

Anybody can download a version of this client along with a mostly playable version of quake [1] (that includes only the first chapter of the original maps like the shareware version but many or most popular multiplayer maps. And if you have the original you just need to place the pak1.pak inside the id1 directory and have access to everything)

There are many ongoing tournaments and QHLAN is about to be held in Sweden on November 17-20. You can find all about these in the quakeworld wiki [2]

To find the servers and games you can use one of two websites [3][4] or the in-game browser. The quakeworld EU and US communities are found on Discord. [5][6]

There is also an automated Twitch channel built by a community member that streams quakeworld 24/7 [6]

Definitely don’t do that! It is trivial to build ezquake using source from GitHub: https://github.com/ezQuake/ezquake-source There is good documentation in the Readme on that page.
