Hi! The volume scatter shader hasn't been ported to LuxCoreRender. For what reason do you need it? You could achieve the same with a 'Null' Material and a homogeneous scattering volume. The volume can be added with the 'add' button next to the interior volume input in the output node as FiatLux wrote.

We can read your messages even if the text is not bold.
The scatter material is not good for making clouds.
Use a null material with interior volume.
Use a hetereogenous volume.
Texture the scattering color with a volumetric texture, and raise the scattering scale.
Or: use the Blender smoke simulator.

Making realistic clouds is a very complex task.
I think we could give better tips if you describe more closely what you plan to do: Do you need the clouds as background objects far away, or is a plane flying through them and they need a lot of detail? Do they need to be animated? etc.
