I thought Xonotic was the one that was like... Duel-focused only, so I avoided that one if only because I've never been one for 1v1s; but I'm wondering if I'm not confusing it with another Quake-based project. I remember trying Warsow and Sauerbraten; but neither of those really felt populated enough for the kind of chaotic, high-speed deathmatching that I missed. It's like the curse of open-source arenas is there's maybe only a dozen people in 'em tops anymore.

On the Minecraft front, I've been playing heavily modded for so long at this point that I'm not really sure the alternatives can replicate the loops that the mods I run do without a WHOLE LOT of intervention on my part that'd likely mean learning Java myself. I am interested in Veloren though, mostly because I don't believe Cube World will ever come out, and it looks like this achieved all of that project's goals in magnitudes less time

Xonotic has various game modes, including the high-speed deathmatching you like. You're probably thinking of another game.

Also, at the time I read this on the site, it said:

442 players and 654 games in the past day. 77 changes by 13 contributors in the past month.

The game seems to be pretty active still.
