Great project, which has sorely been in need of a better name.

"Luanti" works. Unique, pronounceable, alludes to Lua ties.

The "n" obscures the notional reference to "lua". "Lua" is two syllables, but "luan" is just one. The name makes me think 乱, not an element you'd want to include in the name of most projects.
For non-chinese speakers 乱/亂 is pronounced luan4 in Chinese and means disordered.
Lu-anti seems like two syllables to me
Anti is two syllables, isn't it?
