Veloren is an open-source multi-player voxel role-playing game that can be self-hosted (and has more adventure and fun than Minecraft) (veloren.net)

It is inspired by games such as Cube World, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft.

You can play single player or multi-player, standalone or use an online server, or even host your own server in a Docker container, or on a Raspberry Pi. Plenty of options!

You start by creating your character, you can collect items for your inventory, you can craft items, there are weapons and combat, you develop skills, can tame creatures, you can trade with merchants, you can socialise, and lost more. There is no single, specific goal or focus, and the idea is to keep exploring and have adventures.

The game is community driven and actually updates quite regularly.

It is clearly no clone of Minecraft. It is fun and adventure!

Woah this looks really neat. I'll have to try this out. How are the controls?

[–] poVoq 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Keyboard and mouse. Controller sort of works but the inventory etc needs an overhaul to work with controllers.

Gotcha. I'll test it out on my steam deck and see if I can find something usable as far as mapping custom controls

Ah, there was some sort of workaround necessary to start the Airshipper launcher/updater on the SD. Maybe check the Veloren wiki.

I've been using keyboard and mouse but you can remap them.

Good to know! I may give it a try on steam deck since they have a native Linux build.
