It does have a decently-sized modding scene, though? Like, it cannot compete with the popularity of Minecraft and therefore doesn't have as many modders.
But it has a modding API, which makes it a lot easier to mod and means that the mods don't break with every new version, so the effective output of those modders is actually pretty good.

Or well, just look at it: https://content.minetest.net

Funnily enough, as Minetest/Luanti is written in Lua, it should be easy-ish, in theory, to import some of the simpler roblox games.

Then again, good luck bringing people from Java Minecraft or Roblox over to a FOSS alternative. "Nobody's there".
