Mineclonia has like 95% of the features of Minecraft but is way better because you don't need a Microsoft account, plus modding is easier.

Also awesome:

What's different between Mineclonia and Voxelibre?

[–] shrek_is_love@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

Mineclonia is a fork of VoxeLibre (formerly MineClone2) that adds various improvements:

Differences from MineClone 2

  • Overworld depth increased from 64 to 128 nodes
  • Improved nether portals
  • Improved leaf decay
  • Improved villages
  • Wandering traders and trader llamas
  • Suspicious nodes, pottery sherds and decorated pots
  • Conduits
  • Deep dark biome and ancient hermitage (structure corresponding to ancient city)
  • Functional loom to apply banner patterns
  • Lush caves biome
  • Cherry grove biome
  • No in-game music, twice as small compared to VoxeLibre (formerly MineClone2)
  • No hamburgers (but villagers follow dropped food as in Minecraft)
  • No renamed mobs (e.g. Creepers remain Creepers, not Stalkers)
  • Overhauled mob pathfinding, physics, and AI
  • Custom Lua map generator featuring terrain and biomes that closely comport to Minecraft and which is compatible with Minecraft seeds

From the Luanti/Minetest games, I also like Exile very much.

It is a bit hard and nerdy (you'll have to read the PDF guide/tutorial as you progress), but I found it oddly calming. I recommend single-player only.

In contrast to other Luanti/Minecraft-Like games, in Exile it feels very rewarding just to have found shelter from a storm and a cozy fire going, after you were on the edge of collapsing from exhaustion. Though you're almost certainly out of food and it would be dangerous to go out looking before the storm passes, you're not quite dying yet and you have time to make your mud hole a bit more cozy. (It's not a good game if you want to build huge creative castles, but you'll need to build and improve your home a bit.)

I had only heard of minetest. How does it compare?

An unofficial Minecraft-like game for luanti

Luanti is what Minetest was renamed to so it basically is Minetest

Luanti (formerly Minetest) is a little weird, in that it's really just meant to be the game engine, not the full game. Mineclonia is basically a mod that adds back in all the extra mobs and whatnot Minecraft has.

Oh, now I understand. Thanks so much for the explanation.
