ANDROID / ENGINE DOWNLOAD
The engine comes first.
This download is the Luanti engine for Android, formerly called Minetest. It is not a bundle of all the games pictured on this site. Once the engine is installed, use its content browser to add the game you want to play.

Check the processor, not just the version
The featured file is the ARM64 build. Confirm that your device supports arm64-v8a before choosing it. A phone that requires another architecture cannot use this file simply by renaming it.
Android 6.0 or later is recommended. Read the package specifications above alongside that recommendation when using an older phone.
After Android installs the APK
- Open Luanti and go to the content browser. Choose a game rather than downloading random mods first.
- Read the game’s description, install it, then create a world using that game.
- Try a short session before adding texture packs or extra mods. Keep that first experiment small.
Android may ask you to allow installation from the browser or file manager you used. Grant that permission only for the file you chose; there is no need to disable device security checks. If an update reports a signature mismatch, stop and check which distribution your existing installation came from.
