Have you checked out the wiki? There is a 'Getting Started' guide: https://wiki.veloren.net/wiki/Getting_Started

The game is extremely open-ended: there is no overarching objective, and you are free to interact with the world as you please. For most players, this means a combination of exploring, crafting, conquering challenges (dungeons, caves, etc.), finding rare items, and socialising with other players.

The game is 100% free so you have no reason not to jump in and give it a go if you're curious!

Veloren has an open procedural world with a history generation system. Although work on the history simulation is still very much ongoing, the world already more cohesive than those of many other voxel games. Our end goal is a world that feels as rich and as complex as that of Dwarf Fortress. Whether we end up succeeding is still to be determined!

> How is it similar to Minecraft?

Veloren is a voxel game, so... cubes and open-world exploration. Not much more to say about this one.
