Minetest had a mod to fake spherical planets using a torus.

The main problem with minetest it is that it seems not complete/done on the art assets and main game, and the devs always say that is intentionally not a Minecraft clone yet people come searching one on the subgames.

I think it intentionally doesn’t have a complete/done “main game”, minetest_game is just a base for mods — including complete games (like mineclone) — to be built on.
