It's always been a Lua-powered game. They're just making it more in-your-face.

Sure, but I think it's better to make people think of Minecraft style gameplay than Lua programming when mentioning the name.

It makes snese they want to distance from the Minecraft name for that. Engendered annoying "but muh Minecraft" expectations, and there's already the Mineclone2 aka Voxelibre "subgame" for grabbing that attention.
