Welcome to the creative playground where ToddLLM, his family, and AI collaborate to push the boundaries of what's possible in Luanti (formerly Minetest)!
This mono repository serves as the central hub for our Luanti experimentation and development, primarily supporting the groundbreaking luanti-voyager project - a web-based Luanti client that brings voxel worlds to the browser. But it's much more than that...
In ToddLLM's garage, equipped with powerful GPU servers, we're exploring the intersection of:
- 🎮 Voxel Gaming - Creating immersive multiplayer experiences
- 🤖 AI Integration - Experimenting with AI-driven gameplay and world generation
- 👨👩👧👦 Family Collaboration - ToddLLM works alongside his son and daughter, teaching AI through game development
- 🌐 Web Technologies - Breaking free from native-only gaming through luanti-voyager's revolutionary browser-based voxel engine that runs Luanti worlds directly in web browsers with full multiplayer support (see
luanti-voyager/README.mdfor the full technical marvel) - 🔬 Creative Experimentation - Testing wild ideas that might just revolutionize how we play

The luanti-voyager project is revolutionizing how we experience voxel games by bringing the full Luanti engine to web browsers. This isn't just a viewer or limited client - it's a complete implementation that:
- Renders complex voxel worlds at 60+ FPS in browser
- Supports full multiplayer with WebRTC/WebSocket connections
- Implements Luanti's complete Lua modding API in JavaScript
- Enables instant play without downloads or installations
- Opens voxel gaming to billions of devices worldwide
Our mods are specifically optimized and tested for browser performance, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in web-based 3D gaming.
Our maintained fork of the beloved petz modpack, including:
- petz - Adorable pets and farm animals (perfect for kids!)
- kitz - Advanced mob AI framework
- bale - Farming extensions with hay bales
Repository: https://github.com/toddllm/petz
An experimental mod featuring an omnipotent entity that challenges traditional gameplay:
- Shrine-based summoning mechanics
- Reality manipulation abilities
- Permanent world modifications
- A test bed for advanced mod concepts
Repository: https://github.com/toddllm/devkorth_mod
Expanding the adventure aspects of Luanti with:
- Enhanced mob behaviors and boss battles
- New dimensions and teleportation systems
- Magic staffs and special abilities
- Family-friendly adventure elements
Repository: https://github.com/toddllm/nullifier_adventure
We include these upstream mods for compatibility testing and reference:
- simple_skins - Player customization (https://codeberg.org/TenPlus1/simple_skins)
- unified_inventory - Enhanced UI (https://github.com/minetest-mods/unified_inventory)
Our main family server runs with carefully curated mods:
- simple_skins - Let everyone customize their appearance
- unified_inventory - Better inventory management for all skill levels
- petz modpack - Animals that kids love
- devkorth - For those brave enough to summon it!
Running on ToddLLM's garage GPU servers, we host various experimental instances for:
- AI behavior testing
- Performance optimization for luanti-voyager
- New mod development
- Family game nights with custom configurations
Every mod and feature is designed with family collaboration in mind. Complex enough to teach real AI concepts, simple enough for kids to understand and enjoy.
We embrace the full spectrum of AI capabilities across all modalities:
- Language Models - Latest proprietary models from Anthropic and OpenAI, plus every open-source model we can get our hands on
- Vision Systems - Text-to-image, image analysis, texture generation
- Audio Processing - Text-to-speech for NPCs, sound effect generation, voice commands
- Video Generation - Cutscenes, trailers, gameplay recordings
- Multimodal Agents - Autonomous systems that combine all capabilities
- Custom Tools - Task-specific agents for code generation, world building, story writing, bug hunting, performance optimization, and literally anything else we can imagine
We don't limit ourselves - if an AI can do it, we're finding a way to integrate it into our gaming experience.
Nothing is off-limits! From reality-bending entities to talking pets, if we can imagine it, we try to build it.
