https://www.minetest.netopen source, C++ , it's already adept at recreating the magic of early Minecraft. lets get some games going and some new players to try it out.
>>1432848this shit sucks, it looks and feels so cheap and fakeis this the power of open source?
>>1432855It's good though, which package are you using?
>still relying on shitsql>still no multidimensional support>still extremely limited world size (60k x 60k)>fucking LUA for modding>shit support for mobs and weatherAt this point I'm confident minetest is just a controlled opposition. Even Minecraft 1.7.10 is better and it was released ten fucking years ago
>>1433183>60 thousand blocks high and long is extremely limiting
>>1433228>highunless there's tons of flying islands with ways to traverse them other than building dirt bridges, or miles and miles of caves like the mines of moria, or gigantic made in abyss pits, I literally do not care about world height. notch's minecrap was able to get by with 256 world height for years
>>1433228Even if you count the height the volume of a minetest world is still 0.0007% the volume of a Minecraft world.
>>1432848>not just playing early minecraftwe even have a server for it >>1153028
>>1433258>256 world heightthat's extremely limiting, Minetest was better years ago
>>1433993cope
>>1433993>extremely limitingdo you even game bro?
floating island overseeing a large water bowl, huge mountain ranges with large cavern entrances sprinkled all over, a ship wreck down below, a natural weeping obsidian portal to the nether off to the right. perfect place for a base of operations.
anyone remember the worldedit lua exploit?
It's a game engine, not a game
i've been playing minetest and the worldgen is terriblereally hope they improve it because it works well and modding is fun
>>1445967What did you not like?
>>1432848Sure, share a server link or something. It certainly captures the feel of playing singleplayer minecraft for me. >>1432855My only complaint is the movement, no matter what mods i use it always feels more rigid and weightless than minecraft.>>1433228>>1445967This is the main reason i kept playing this game and didnt return to Minecraft yet, mountains are massive and caves can go on forever. You can climb five hundred blocks and then turn up your render distance until your game becomes a power point and still not see the sea level. Caves go on forever, and its not like in minecraft where you can just dig up to save yourself, because you are three thousand blocks deep and alreday went down several twenty block deep shafts, they really feel like places man wasnt meant to reach.>>1433258There's a few mods that add sky islands and even asteroids with low gravity and no air. You can build a space station on the stratosphere and mine so deep you will need to set up outposts deep ubderground. Reaching the bottom of the world or the top are achievements equal if not greater than reaching its borders, wich you probably wont do either, because 60k blocks is a lot. >>1433183Compared to MC most mob mods arent that good either, but the Animalia mod seems promising, and there are others serviceable enough to have a good time anyways. Climate mods, despite being comfy, seem to be mostly atmospheric and not affect gameplay too much, and you can notice their limitations compared with minecraft's rain. You wont be able too see rain if you are under a tree because it wont rain if you are under a roof, or you will notice, with other mod, that rain stops rendering once you are under a certain height because its not supposed to rain underground.
Any cool shaders yet?
Volumetric lighting is coming soon. You could also try Reshade on it.
>>1455343I need more
any good mods?
is voxelibre a good place to start with minetest? the base "game" maintained by the minetest devs seems like it'd be a snoozefest with no mobs
>>1461624yeah VoxeLibre is great, you can check out public servers in the client, if I'm not mistaken you will have those games for offline use after trying them out. So you could continue the play the ones you like.
>>1460979These are some of my favorite minetest game mods: Techage, Farming Redo, Apercy's vehicle mods, Witches, Air currents, Ambiance, Jukebox, Fishing RodMinetest game has barely any content so you need to mod the shit out of if you want it to resemble the level of gameplay Minecraft has besides block breaking and block placing. To give you an idea of how much modding is needed, i use over a 100 mods on my game. Most of them are tweaks or QoL, but without then the game would not only be a snoozefest, but a clunky one too.

Thoughts?
What social media is that? They alreday removed minetest game as the default game and now they are changing to a random name. Its gonna make the game more obscure and the dinstinction from minecraft clone even more petty.
>>1469904looks like matrix (element) to me but i could be wrong
>>1464072>Minetest game has barely any content so you need to mod the shit out of if you want it to resemble the level of gameplayIsn't that supposed to be the point?
new name kinda sucks
>>1432848more of an engine than a game
>>1468645.....I hate that name. I would prefer if they went ahead and took SkyBlock, since Microflaccid is on some fuck-shit and need put in their place.
