My simple reason why Minetest is better:
In Minetest you get to pick and choose what features you want, where Minecraft a crazy developer adds features for you (90% of the time its something you don't like and can't remove, and if you add some you like, it winds up broken on the next update).

Looks nice so far, as a suggestion add Pipeworks support to your to-do-list, since a lot of people use that mod.

Re: [mod] Vehicles [vehicles]
I think the reason why the "E" is named "use" is because of other games that have it assigned to that function such as games made by Valve and Bethesda, plus quite a few small developers, so it might just have that name since that is what a lot of players are used to.

Re: Gameplay: efficent mining
I just dig a two block wide diagonal shaft grabbing any ores I see along the way and exploring any caves I break into (I sometimes find huge cave systems with a lot of items), I only stop that shaft when it opens into the ceiling of a lava pit then I start a new one.

Re: [mod] Vehicles [vehicles]
How well do these drive on natural terrain when you don't have any roads built yet?
I'm considering adding this mod to my collection since it might come in handy.

Re: What makes Minetest unique?
Minetest is easy to mod and customize and the developers do their best not to break mods during updates.
Also since Mintest and it's mods don't require installer files, you can put it on external drives with no problems.

I usually just clone Github items directly to the appropriate folders, that way when I use the sync feature, it automatically updates the right items with out extra steps (this trick works on Windows very well).

There seems to be some kind of conflict with this mod and the default doors on the most recent version, when I have any part of MyDoors enabled, the game crashes and the debug text is pointing at scripts for both the mod and a default game one.

This mod could use a crafting recipe to make it use-able in survival mode, and less confusing instructions for adding more sounds/music (possibly an example of the format needed in the script).

A mod to be able to recycle metal items would be useful, by putting the object in a furnace and you get the ingots back (anything other than metal gets burned off when you do this). Now if the item has some damage on it, you may not get all the metal back when melting it down. (This would also be us...

If you are still looking for Minetest compatible skins, the MC Skin Viewer program can help, you type in a username to see the skin related to it and you can save a copy through the same program.

Re: [Modpack] Display Modpack
There seems to be a bug in the gravestone part of this mod, I get a cryptic error message from the Nodes.lua file when Minetest loads.
I have no clue how to track this down, the message points to something on line 20 of the code.
