          That’s not Minetest. That’s just on game running on the Minetest engine. There are tons of games and mods. The Minetest development team doesn’t necessarily make mods.

    Love Minetest. Unfortunately, though, like with many other FOSS projects, it’s hard to find anyone else using it…

    Anyone got a server for us lemmings?

    this will probably get downvoted to hell but im just gonna say it: minetest is just not as good as minecraft (and tbh i don’t think it ever will be)

    now to be clear im not happy what microsoft is doing lately with minecraft but i really like the older versions of the game (1.7 era) and those are way better than what minetest offers - also minecraft has a larger player base so there are tons of free/open source mods

    Any mod recommendations for a 5 year old? He’s got a laptop with Debian on it and I’d like to set him up with MineTest, but I’m not sure he can handle the full MineClonia experience.

      There are plenty. I would look at Minetest Education along with some of the games.

      You also could look at the KDE kid games app

    It’s kind of hard to me playing Minetest. Not only for the fact that I don;t think Minecraft is that much fun, but also because the Android version has a confusing UI and weird controls.

    I’m restricted to playing the Android version because, I don;t have a PC, duh!

      I don’t play minecraft because 1. I am not creative and am at a lost without a objective goal and 2. I get dizzy with the open world.

        I don’t play Minecraft because it is too trippy alone.

        I build this Moria kind of place and realize it’s scary to the point I am constantly glancing behind me in the tunnels.

        I usually either play games 12 hours straight or not at all (adhd?). They all become slightly trippy but Minecraft is seriously eerie after such time and solitude becomes unbearable.
