How is mine test these days? I haven’t tried it since I was in a kid and couldn’t afford Minecraft

    With the current fork of Mineclone 2 it’s identical to Minecraft (Mineclonia).

    Considering what M$ has done to Minecraft, that's immensely AWESOME to know! I really need to put some time into Minetest / mineclonia...

    It’s a nice shot of nostalgia if you’ve dropped out of Minecraft for a while. I didn’t realize how hard the game was haha. Died so many times just trying to build a base.

    Had wood floors down and came back onto the server to find a lightning storm caused a fire and burnt down all my trees and exposed wood floors 😭

    Oh cool, can you link to the github repo? Because I am not sure which fork we are talking about :P

    There’s no GitHub link, the add-on is inside Minetest when you search all available community plugins. Just type “mineclone” into the search bar and you’ll find two plugins. I use Mineclonia but Voxelibre is another one. Haven’t tried it though so can’t recommend.

    I'm also confused, in the mod browser I see Mineclonia and Mineclone2 but no Mineclonia2. Which is better?

    I guess its named just Mineclonia. You can still try search it here: https://content.minetest.net/

    Mineclonia is a fork of MineClone2, last time I tried them, they were quite simmilar (obviously). As far my experience goes, the saves are not 100% compatible (textures broke, but it remembered blocks) and same with the mods, some work, some fail. I would try both.

    I'm probably the only person in the world who hasn't played Minecraft.

    We have a family Minetest server runnning Asuna since Summer 2023. Usually based around just crafting different things. Even for a few months we just put on creative mode and built two huge cities about 8,000 blocks apart and sky train connecting them, and then a third underground cave city about 2,000 blocks away.

    We've had major upgrades of both Asuna and Minetest within the past few weeks so it's pretty exciting.
