From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Haven't watched the video - just my thoughts...
Minetest (specifically Mineclone2) is an impressive feat, and a very faithful reproduction of the original. I pretty much used the Minecraft fandom wiki to progress through the game. Hours of fun was had without handing money to M$.
I only really stopped because the redstone functionality wasn't fully implemented.
Hats off to the devs on that project regardless
Just fyi Minclone2 changed its name to Voxellibre
And it is no longer trying to clone Minecraft. They are moving beyond.
And there's a separate effort called Mineclonia.
Anyone got a summary? I really wish people would stop posting links to videos without providing a synopsis.
TLDR: The creator prefers minetest to minecraft.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks, friend! Also, are you saying the creator of Minecraft, the creator of Minetest, or the creator of the video?
Curse you, syntactic ambiguity!!! xD
As it clearly states it is obviously god, who is often referred to as the creator.
Minetest gets scary when you look at the code and see that the engine they use is basically abandoned and will never get Wayland support. Afaik?
It's not like they're stuck on some outdated proprietary engine like RPG Maker. Minetest is under active development, with a small list of dependencies that are also under active development. It is under no particular rush to get off of X11/Xwayland.
Xwayland
Is that a typo or is that distinct from just straight Wayland?
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/xserver.html
It provides backwards compatibility for running X apps under Wayland.
