Thoughts on minetest? (beehaw.org)

Have been enjoying making silly mods lately for it, but was wondering what other people thought of it.

Minetest is really cool but it's always struck me as kind of a shameless Minecraft clone instead of trying to do something new. The graphics are identical, the UI is similar, the gameplay is practically the same, there isn't a huge reason to play it compared to Java Minecraft + mods. It is free and open source though, which is cool.

I'm more of a Vintage Story enjoyer myself. It has its fair share of issues but I appreciate how it's not trying to be Minecraft.

Makes sense, though i would not really call it a minecraft clone, it's more of a voxel engine. At least, as a developer, that's what i have always thought of it.
