Question 1

Is Veloren free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, entirely. Veloren is open-source under GPL-3.0 with no purchases, subscriptions, cosmetics or account requirement.

Question 2

Is Veloren finished?

Accepted Answer

No, and it does not claim to be. Veloren is pre-1.0 and under very active development. Progression systems and combat balance change between releases and worlds are occasionally reset. What exists is enjoyable, but it is a game in progress.

Question 3

Can I host my own Veloren server?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Self-hosting is fully supported and free, with no account or licence required, which makes it a good option for a small private world with friends.

Question 4

Is Veloren like Minecraft?

Accepted Answer

It shares the voxel aesthetic but is a different game. Veloren is an action RPG focused on exploration, real-time combat and character progression rather than free-form building.

Question 5

What are Veloren's system requirements?

Accepted Answer

A dedicated GPU is recommended for comfortable frame rates, alongside a quad-core CPU and 8 GB of RAM. It is more demanding than most games in this catalog.
