Minetest-c55 is inspired by InfiniMiner, Minecraft and similar games.[2][7] and is focused on creativity and building, allowing players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D world, also known as a voxel world.[2][7]
Gameplay in its most recent release has two principal modes: Survival, which requires players to acquire resources themselves and maintain their health; and Creative, where the player has an unlimited supply of resources, the ability to fly, and to teleport.[1][8]
Minetest-c55 can be played in singleplayer or in multiplayer mode,[1][2][7] both of which can run in either survival mode or creative mode. It has multiple objectives, including having an open and simple modding process using Lua and running natively on old and new machines.[1][2]
