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.
