Lakeridge Minecraft Using Luanti, a free Minecraft Alternative
Video games are big in the culture of 10-year olds (e.g. recent Minecraft movie), and it's hard for parents to manage a kid's access.
But why can't we set up our own minecraft, for local kids, with fun worlds?
It could also be a place where kids can socialize with friends.
Luanti is a similar to Minecraft but better...
Luanti is Free.
So everyone can log in and play. (Minecraft is $30 each)
Easy Set-up.
Any parent can play too. Login and play a video game with your kids.

Invitation only. No bad language. Group chat on your own zoom channel.
How?
- Download Windows/Mac/Linux/Android from https://www.luanti.org/downloads/ (It's time to get rid of the iPad and use a keyboard, for posture's sake.)
- With this installed, log in to the Lakeridge Elementary Server.
- Use Zoom to connect with friends at the same time. You can, because you are using a computer now.
- Contact me at ben at mathroo.org and I'll walk you through it.
Still wary? Check out the game at https://www.luanti.org and wrest your child's life from profit-seeking companies.
