Cube World was hyped quite a bit, particularly because the solo dev made huge promises. Then he released an Alpha build, made a bunch of money from that and went into radio silence.
Veloren basically set out to build the game, that Cube World was promised to be. And well, they've long surpassed what was in that Alpha build.
When I went to look up the gane I accidentally typed verloren.net instead of veloren.bet and got a weird German website about the author losing something so that explains it
It's voxel based, but definitely nothing like Minecraft. If you're looking for something similar to Minecraft that isn't just a clone of it you could try Vintage Story. It's closer to the Terra Firma Craft mod for Minecraft than the unmodded game.
I would still recommend trying Veloren as it is fun. Just don't expect it to be anything like Minecraft.

Never heard of Veloren. Looks like everyting CubeWorld was supposed to be but never delivered on.
Only downside I see is no server download to run your own.

Veloren is FOSS and volunteer-developed so running your own server can’t be too hard

Velorens repository has a
server-clifolder with docker files, seems like a good place to start looking ^^jackr@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 228d

Is Veloren the game that started as a minecraft clone and was renamed later?
Btw "Verloren" is german for "lost" or "gone"

Nope that's Luanti (formerly Minetest). This one is written from scratch.

Veloren started as a clone, or perhaps rather spiritual continuation, of Cube World: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_World

I think you need to get a Phoenix feather to craft it, and despite playing enough to get endgame equipment, I only ever ran into one.
