Try running git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/minetest/irrlicht lib/irrlichtmt inside the minetest directory (instead of just git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/minetest/irrlicht). This will clone irrlicht on the proper location (I think).

Luanti (formerly minetest) is open source, written in Lua, has an API with mediawiki docs, and has a vscode extension: https://github.com/minetest/minetest

Luanti wiki > Modding intro:

Lua is a popular tool scripting language - it's used in a variety of settings notably Roblox, the GNU Image Mainpulation Program ("GIMP"), and if I may just momentarily shill, in Minetest. I used to write and maintain various mods for Minetest, and it's even fair to say I did a lot of my learning during that time... there's a lot of learning that can happen on spare time when you're also having fun 😄

If you are looking for a more customisable and open source version of a "minecraft engine" there is https://www.minetest.net/ with lots of mods, where the most Minecraft'ish is https://content.minetest.net/packages/ryvnf/mineclonia/.

In general, verifying programs is extremely hard, not just because of rice's theorem but because it's so easy to miss a spot, especially for non-trivial bytecode languages like lua's. wasm has no concepts of for loops for example.

It's strange that after upstream has given up on the problem as it was too hard, factorio devs have chosen to try to fix the verifier/write their own (not sure which of the two they did).

Minetest's loadstring function forbids bytecode entirely: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/9a1501ae89ffe79c38...

I wonder why factorio mods need the ability to execute raw lua bytecode. If they don't have it, there would be no need for a verifier.

Minetest - Minecraft-inspired voxel game engine. C++

Been there, done that.

Nothing beats industrial Minecraft (in it's prime, which it isn't in atm as far as I konw) IMO.

Not even close, when considering the ability to add magic/farming/computer stuff.

Though Minetest[0] has some pretry cool packs.

https://www.minetest.net/ This is a pretty good opensource minecraft clone essentially, with some of it's own features.
