I pnly tried mineclonia mostly and tried voxelibre once,i know that mineclonia are fork of voxelibre,but i wanted to know other mod

First off, I want to clarify right at the start: I am not trying to build a 1:1 Minecraft clone. I love Luanti for what it is and respect the unique direction of its community.

That being said, I’ve been playing around with VoxeLibre and Mineclonia, and I am wondering what modpacks or sets of content you all recommend to bring the playability, ease of use, and overall polish up to the same standard we see in modern Minecraft.

Are there specific QoL mods, UI improvements, or content packs you consider "must-haves" to smooth out the gameplay loop and make everything feel highly intuitive and cohesive?

Heck, I’m also very interested in the graphical side. I know Luanti’s engine supports things like dynamic shadows and volumetric lighting out of the box now, but what are your go-to high-res texture packs, visual mods, or specific settings that make the game look absolutely beautiful?

Can't forget those sharks ✌️😔

Recently i have been wanting to make a game with procedural generation and with a voxel art themed but making my own engine or using existing ones require me to spend a lot of time building my own one. Until i found out about- luanti. Can i make my own game in this and fork the engine and make it an .exe and then can i sell it on steam and other platforms? i am also going to add my own textures, if can to make it fit my aesthetic more. I also heard making the game multiplayer in this would be fairly easier compared to others.
The game idea i have is basically

kill and combat with almost most npcs (yes they all have their own animations)

trading with merchants, go dungeon delving

Night time introduces dangerous creatures

bounty hunters who chase you when your killcount reaches a certain threshold

procedurally generated worlds from already existing data

many weapons

some type of emergent gameplay

quests system

have floating sky islands (i'll model and make them using magica voxel) -- and player starts out at sky islands and then when the player descends down to the planet that is when the real twist and new core gameplay loop starts.

very low on lore, no cutscenes...just think like Minecraft or just cryptic lore

Been building a large building. In creative mode my kid decided it would be fun to dump a bunch of dragon eggs all over the place. Now I can't get rid of them, because breaking them just makes them teleport a short distance.

Anyone know a reasonable way to get rid of them?
