There's also Project Zomboid. Which doesn't really come close to Minecraft, but it's also developed in Java with a Lua engine on top.

Why? Well, I have absolutely no clue...

Heh, thanks for bringing that to my attention; based on the video alone, I think that'd be right up my alley (linky-linky: https://www.gog.com/game/project_zomboid and it's on Steam, too, if you're into that)

> Why?

From the GOG page:

Works on: Windows (10, 11), Linux (Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04), Mac OS X (10.9.0+)

is almost certainly "why," and I'd guess the lua part is because it seems to be the lingua franca of game modding, so meet folks where they are

Lua is very common - the OpenComputers mod for Minecraft exposes a Lua machine.
