2026 Luanti Game Jam

Rules

A little magic, a little game

You are to brew a small Luanti game, or a few. I recommend using an ingredient from the pantry, or two. Embrace rough edges, and share what you make. A simple idea is all it should take.

You have until Nov 30, 2026, 12:00 AM UTC. We are here to share novel experiences and mechanics with each other, so don't stress over it.

Pack your spellbook and share your brew

Each entry must live in its own repository on a supported public git host, with these files at the root:

The contents of JAM2026.md are up to you, the file just needs to exist to count as a jam entry. I recommend including some interesting notes about your development journey!

Target Luanti 5.18.0. Please follow ContentDB licensing requirements. Each entry will be approved by staff before appearing on the brew shelf. To update a game, submit its repository again. Save your status link for the review decision and any moderator feedback.

Supported hosts (contact administrator to add more): github.com, gitlab.com, codeberg.org, git.minetest.land, bitbucket.org
