The same way that Minecraft is a rip off of Infiniminer.

It's like JavaScript that has nothing to do with Java. But name was chosen because of popularity of Java.
After that billions of times the same question was asked — How Javascript related to Java? Is JavaScript a subset of Java?

i probably asked it a hundred of times. @TheOppostition: you see what does a bad name? Most people ask the same question with Minetest.Sergey wrote: After that billions of times the same question was asked — How Javascript related to Java? Is JavaScript a subset of Java?

Then just give some fricking good name for this project and stop all this discussion.azekill_DIABLO wrote:i probably asked it a hundred of times. @TheOppostition: you see what does a bad name?

You are getting in a loop:
1."Let's suggest names"
2."Those names are bad"
3."Minetest should not change name"
4."Minetest should change name"
5.Just repeat all the same crap
Just decide already.
Have a nice day! :D

Re: Should we rename Minetest? (poll)
you're kinda true, but it's not mein decision, i already tried to purpose names, with sergey and abj and i think i needs to taken to the devs better than only debating for not much here!

What do you think of Fossblocks?

Re: Should we rename Minetest? (poll)
I like the name, it reminds me of my first minetest days...
Re: Should we rename Minetest? (poll)
At the first, I did not read all posts, maybe anyone did said already the same.
I do not like the "Test" in the current name. A test is like a "try" or "experiment" for me, nothing usable/playable. I did avoided the game a long time because of the name and because in base installation (Gentoo-package) without minetest_game it was just a "Test" with "minimal developer subgame" :(
Openminer/Freeminer I do not like too. There are a lot of "OpenXYZ" and "FreeXYZ" games in the FOSS scene, all of them are "Free Ripp-Offs of a closed souce game XYZ". Mostly binary compatible with the data of the "original game". This names are also acceptable for Clone Subgames only. FOSSBlocks is the same category for me.
MT is not "MC-lite" for me, MT is basically the engine that allow much more then MC ever will have. so we need an other name that does not suggest a connection to MC, but a suggestion to the unlimited possibilities. Something like "Cubic Universe (Engine)"?

Re: Should we rename Minetest? (poll)
I did not write FOSSblocks. I wrote Fossblocks, which is not the same thing.
Re: Should we rename Minetest? (poll)
For non-FOSS insiders the Fossblocks suggest "Fossil blocks". It is the desired suggestions for the name proposal?

Not really, though I admit you're probably right.

no, it's weird and not attractive at all. who would buy a game with a math formula on it?
