Luanti

We are looking into the possibility of creating a #Luanti for Edu/Kids edition which would be a new app on the play store and a new download from luanti.org. It will (1) provide tools for parents/teachers to manage kids (2) achieve a lower age rating, aiming for age 6.

We're looking to get in touch with someone who know about age ratings and our obligations. Perhaps someone from #IARC/#USK/another board who also knows about open source. Does anyone have any connections we could talk to?

@Luanti Wouldn’t that be a PERFECT opportunity to massively extend the game’s possibilities regarding client customization and setup/permissions, instead of creating a new client in parallel to the currently existing client?

Most of these capabilities would be available in the normal Luanti client. The problem is that to achieve a lower age rating, the client needs to be safe by default. It's not enough that you can turn unsafe stuff off, otherwise the current Luanti client wouldn't be 12+. We don't want to reduce the possibilities of our main client, so would like to make a new client specifically for this purpose

This would be amazing! Luanti (formerly Minetest) has so much potential for educational use. Would love to see curated content and simplified UI for younger learners. 🎓🎮
