Voxelibre has sprinting. Hold E to sprint, you’ll go a bit faster and use hunger points. There’s also a privilege you can grant yourself to significantly up your top speed. (I think this is more of a luanti thing than voxelibre specific)

Voxelibre’s developers want to start taking it in its own direction such that it’s no longer a Minecraft clone, if you want a more faithful Minecraft experience then checkout Mineclonia.

Also I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that Minecraft java edition will just work on Linux.

I did not expect to see an EMF meme on my home page. I probably should have, given this is the blahaj instance.

You may be interested in a project called “wolf”. Its goal is to run graphically accelerated containers using a Wayland compositor that uses gstreamer as the backend instead of a display. After that, wolf serves as your moonlight server. There are hoops to jump through if you’re using Nvidia, and the software is very young. But I think it shows promise.

I haven’t tried it myself yet, if you give it a go, let me know how you get on. 🙂
