Veloren

Self-Hosted

Open-source voxel-based multiplayer RPG

Overview

Veloren is a free, open-source voxel RPG inspired by Cube World and The Legend of Zelda. It features procedural world generation, dynamic weather, co-op multiplayer, and skill-based combat with character progression. Deployable via self-hosted servers (Docker or manual setup), it allows users to host private worlds for friends or public instances.
