It took me two tries to get used to Kvaesitso but now I love it. I was using Nova until the Branch acquisition, then briefly tried lawnchair but had to move on as it wasn’t very stable.

I’ve enjoyed playing Mineclonia on Luanti with my kid. I don’t know how it compares to real Minecraft but it’s been perfectly serviceable for our needs. It even has an Android client.

It does some UDP fuckery to bypass NAT and firewalls

I wouldn’t be surprised if they use hole punching. It’s an old but effective technique which Skype famously used back in its heyday.
