What are some great open source games? (programming.dev)

I'm usually a fan of open source games but rarely do they manage to be actually great. People like giving recommendations like Super Tux Kart that haven't aged well and don't play well. What are some open source games that are legitimately good that I've missed?

My favorites are:

Mindustry
Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart
Powder Toy
GZDoom (and all the amazing mods for it)
Veloren (even though it's still in alpha)

Minetest and several others that I play regularly have already been mentioned, so I wanted to shout out a game I've been following and playing for years, waiting for their 1.0 release: FreeOrion

https://www.freeorion.org/

It's essentially a clone of the Master of Orion series, which are classics in the 4X world.

In (0-100%) how similar is minetest to minecraft in terms of content? I installed it a couple of hours ago and tested it a couple of minutes and it looks identical lol but what about the content?
