What is stopping you from playing Minecraft itself on Linux?
I haven't played it in a while, but it did work perfectly fine last time I tried it. It is written in Java, after all.

What is stopping you from playing Minecraft itself on Linux?
I wanted to try something new.
Voxelibre has sprinting. Hold E to sprint, you'll go a bit faster and use hunger points. There's also a privilege you can grant yourself to significantly up your top speed. (I think this is more of a luanti thing than voxelibre specific)
/grant singleplayer fast
Voxelibre's developers want to start taking it in its own direction such that it's no longer a Minecraft clone, if you want a more faithful Minecraft experience then checkout Mineclonia.
Also I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that Minecraft java edition will just work on Linux.
Voxelibre does have sprint, its 'aux_1' in the settings. Left Ctrl by default I think?
Look at Vintage Story, not really Minecraft other than voxel based, more of a survival game. It's a lot of fun though
Vintage Story is fantastic. It was described to me initially as 'Minecraft for adults' and it really lives up to that description. Also has a very vibrant modding community with a ton of well-maintained mods and installation is a single click on the official website. Highly recommend.
+1 for VS. Still haven't found enough copper, though... Maybe one day.
If you mean "enough copper to make a pickaxe and hammer", panning is by far the most reliable method. If you mean "Enough copper to make everything I want to make with it", are you using a prospecting pick? (If not, do so.)
I am using a prospecting pic (poorly).
I never really learned how to prospect. I guess I'll read the guide again
If we're going that far from Minecraft, don't forget the impressive Veloren ;)
i feel ashamed to have thought it was just a modpack for minecraft initially but looking at a few videos it really is an entirely different beast!
The authors first built Minecraft mods so it is an evolution of it!
