Luanti said its Android app is currently unavailable on Google Play after a DMCA notice submitted on behalf of Microsoft by Tracer.AI alleged infringement of Minecraft copyright.

The open-source voxel game-creation platform said the notice did not identify allegedly infringing assets and that its app contains no proprietary Minecraft code or assets. Luanti said it has filed a counter-notice and noted it successfully appealed a similar 2023 notice from the same company.

It said the app remains available through F-Droid and direct APK downloads.
