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.

    Real source instead of that blog spam: https://blog.minetest.net/2024/10/13/Introducing-Our-New-Name/

      … which you obtained and learned of from this “blog spam” …

        So cite it as “via…” but linking to the original source, especially one without ads and user tracking, is obviously best practice. Nobody in their right mind would deny that, unless there is financial incentive to link to that ad-ridden site.

        Edit: Also “Rule 9: Use the original source”

    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

    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.

      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. :)

      VoxeLibre seems the most familiar and complete. If you played Minecraft you can more or less just pick it up. But it does come with in game tutorials.
