      Erm. It’s mostly a minecraft clone originally based on Pixel Perfection texture pack which was open source licence, but is increasingly getting more of it’s own art, and some unique features. Burgers to lure villagers for example. I was told bookcases that stored books was in the MineClone2 first. It’s a pretty solid game and very playable but certain parts still need to be implemented. Redstone is not quite where it needs to be yet. Mobs are progressing, but need a little work still, but for a FOSS game on a FOSS engine, you cannot go better! :)

      I was impressed by how much content and how playable it was, and it goes from strength to strength.

    really like it … The mobs from pigs to zombies and skeletons, are the best mobs I have seen in minetest yet. now we need some mod makers to make it even more awesome! I know, I know, copying popular minecraft mods seems uncreative, but really would like some technic modpack for this + some Aether Mod. Maybe add some creative spin as well!

    Created an Equivalent exchange mod for default minetest , eventually want to support mineclone as well, for that I need to change some dictionary entries. And to polish the mod, add support to generate unknown EMC values based on recipes.

    I absolutely love Minetest and Mineclone2. It is really sad that Minecraft is slowly becoming “woke” because of Microsoft by pushing political messages in the game and heavily banning anyone that uses cuss words even with just their friends in their own server. Not to mention it is used as spyware and you have to PAY for it too? No thanks.

      Some words should just not be used in certain contexts. Even if no one who would be offended by the usage of these words hears or reads them, they become more accepted and tolerated among those who are confronted with them. That makes them more likely to use these words in places where people are hurt by them.

      Woke originally means being aware of the systemic racism against the Black minority in the american society during the Jim Crow era. So nothing bad about being woke.

          I wasn’t aware that their ban system is so broken. In that case, I agree.

          I don’t think that corporations are pushing that “agenda”, or to be more precise, are the major force that pushes these societal changes. Why would they? They want money, profit. That’s their main goal. Following this trend is only viable if it gives them more money, and that is only possible if a majority of oeople are already for this changes. Or don’t care.
