Getting Started

Installation

To play VoxeLibre with the best possible performance and support, we recommend using the latest stable version of Luanti. However, we always make an effort to support at least two earlier versions to keep the game playable for everyone. The development versions of Luanti are not supported for gameplay due to their instability, but we encourage developers to run them to ensure faster support for upcoming engine versions.

To install VoxeLibre (if you haven't already), open your Luanti client, go to the Content tab, press Browse online content and switch to the Games tab located at the top-left corner. From there, find VoxeLibre, open its package page and press Install. It's that easy!

How to play

Basic controls

VoxeLibre makes use of the control scheme provided by Luanti. Depending on your platform (PC, Mobile, or other), the specific keys or buttons corresponding to in-game actions may vary a lot. Open the Settings menu, navigate to the Controls category and inspect the control scheme from there, tweaking it as you see fit.

The Aux1 or Special action is assigned to sprinting.

Starting out

  • Punch a tree until it breaks and collect its trunk as blocks
  • Place the tree trunks into the 2×2 grid (the crafting grid in your inventory menu) and craft wood planks out of them, 4 blocks per trunk
  • Place 4 wood planks in a 2×2 shape in the crafting grid to make a crafting table
  • Press Place (right-click) on the crafting table to access a 3×3 crafting grid for more complex recipes
  • Use the crafting guide (book icon) to learn all possible crafting recipes
  • Craft a wooden pickaxe to dig stone and collect cobblestone, essential for many recipes
  • All tools differ by type and tier. Try out axes, hoes, shovels and swords, crafted by putting different materials in familiar shapes
  • Continue playing as you wish. Have fun!

Farming

  • Find some seeds
  • Craft a hoe
  • Place (right-click) on dirt or a similar block to cultivate it to farmland
  • Place seeds on farmland and watch them grow under light
  • If near water, farmland becomes wet and speeds up growth
  • Harvest mature plants for food and replanting

Cooking and smelting

  • Craft a furnace with 8 blocks of cobblestone
  • Upper slot must contain a cookable/smeltable item (e.g. potato or raw iron)
  • Lower slot must contain a fuel item (e.g. coal)
  • See tooltips in crafting guide to learn about fuels and cookable/smeltable items
  • Upgrade to specialized blocks to speed it up: a blast furnace to smelt metal or a smoker to cook food
