Microsoft, via Tracer AI, has withdrawn its DMCA copyright takedown notice against Luanti's Google Play listing, and the app has been reinstated. The withdrawal means the case is dropped and no lawsuit is planned.

In a twist, Microsoft actually uses Luanti for research. Project VEGA from Microsoft Research & XBOX uses Luanti as its testbed, and a paper from Microsoft Research & University of Edinburgh prefers Luanti over Minecraft for its open-source design and Lua API.

These projects highlight Luanti's potential as an open, flexible platform. While the situation was resolved promptly, it consumed significant time to fight. The team thanks users and readers for support, hoping future updates focus on features, not legal matters.
