All existing links have been written into content/wiki/references.toml with bf86f31 ... still needs some cleaning!

I don't know to which extent it falls under the category "voxel resources" but:

• Cubzh is an open-source voxel game engine (currently being open-sourced to its fullest) and an UGC gaming platform
• Scripting documentation of Cubzh

I don't know to which extent it falls under the category "voxel resources" but:

* [Cubzh](https://cu.bzh) is an open-source voxel game engine (currently being open-sourced to its fullest) and an UGC gaming platform

* [Scripting documentation of Cubzh](https://docs.cu.bzh/)

That appears to be a voxel project! Could you add it to the projects listing via pull-request?
