Minetest, a voxel game engine created to be something like a Minecraft clone, is finally smashing apart the chains to become more its own unique thing.

    Any recommendations on games using this engine? I’ve been playing Java Edition again lately but am always open something new.

      It’s not the same engine but Vintage Story is a TerraFirmaCraft inspired standalone game, if you ever played that mod. The next big update is current in pre-release beta too.

        Wow that looks so involved! Will definitely look into this.

      I like playing “Asuna” as a minecraft-adjacent experience, with a bunch of nice world generation mods already packed in. But I also have concocted my own modsoup on top of that, so it’s also pretty far from the vanilla of that. There’s other games that come up mostly ready for play, like Mesecraft or Voxelibre (that one being mostly an actual MC clone, also renamed) look around the content DB tho, there’s a ton of nice stuff around.

        Looks gorgeous! Thanks. You’ve got me exploring what there is to explore. :)

    Seems like a decision for the better, so long as they have the name Mine attached to it there will be higher expectations and lower initial trust than with an entirely different name

      I feel like it was the “test” part…

        That certainly didn’t help either
