MultiCraft2 is a free open-source voxel game engine with easy modding and game creation.
MultiCraft is based on the Minetest project, which is developed by a number of contributors.
This is best used as server, as it allows both clients with 0.4 and 5.0 versions to connect to it.
Steps:
The official MultiCraft2 git repository can be found at: https://github.com/MultiCraft/MultiCraft2.
$ wget 'https://github.com/MultiCraft/MultiCraft2/archive/refs/heads/main.zip'
$ 7z x main.zip
$ cd MultiCraft2-main
Alternatively you can git clone the master branch:
$ git clone https://github.com/MultiCraft/MultiCraft2
$ cd MultiCraft2
$ sudo apt install g++ make libc6-dev libirrlicht-dev cmake libbz2-dev libpng-dev libjpeg-dev libxxf86vm-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libsqlite3-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libfreetype6-dev zlib1g-dev libgmp-dev libjsoncpp-dev

Make sure you are in the MultiCraft2 source code directoty:
$ cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=TRUE -B build
$ cd build
$ make -j$(nproc)
RUN_IN_PLACE parameter will let MultiCraft2 to run directly in the source directory and the make parameter -j$(nproc) will utilize all your CPU to make the compilation faster.
