What do you do when people call minetest minecraft?

[12Me21]

Whenever someone sees me playing minetest they say: "cool, minecraft!" or something like that. It kind of annoys me but usually I don't correct them because when I do they are usually either dissapointed, or they just keep calling it minecraft. I wanted to know what other people do when minetest gets called called minecraft.

[PilzAdam]

I start telling them about how the engine works. They usually walk away then.

[tinoesroho]

I don't do much- I let the game speak for itself. I've modded mine to a crazy degree- the illusion of minecraft lasts right up until a mob comes around the corner and I pull out the Peacemaker. Back in the old days, before I'd gotten into remaking it, I used to just say "On steroids."

Some people say to me "Hey look, Josh is playing minecraft!" then i tell them "This is minetest, a free open source alternative to minecraft" Then they say "I dont understand" or something like that.

[onpon4]

It hasn't happened to me, but if it did, I would say that I would never play Minecraft because it's proprietary, and that what I'm playing is instead a free clone called Minetest.

[aldobr]

i dont say anything, as i myself started playing minetest because at the time i couldnt pay a minecraft licence.

now i much prefer minetest moding system using lua.

[webdesigner97]

When I play Minetest people say "Oh, you play Minecraft?". Then I answer: "This is Minetest. It's free and better than Minecraft". They say: "No, minecraft is great, minetest is ***". Then I say: "Oh, you just think Minetest is *** beacuse you already spent 20 € for Minecraft"

Lol

[Evergreen]

I usually just don't say anything, even though it erks me. I just can't really think of how to introduce minetest to them, so I'd probably make a bad impression on them. So that's why I usually stay quiet.

[VanessaE]

I tell them "No.. it's similar to minecraft and its free." i.e. I don't even mention the name.

[mauvebic]

If its house guests (people i know) i usually don't bother to correct them - i wouldn't want them coming here and associating me with some of the personalities/politics they'd find

[stcrafts]

"block?minecraft !"
"Nooooo, I don't know how to download java,That's Minetest"

[Chinchow]

When this happens to me I say "No this is Minetest a free open-source block style game that is much more lightweight and basic the Minecraft."

[snakevenom]

I smash their face with my moniter.

[Mossmanikin]

Mostly I say something like: "Minetest! It's a Minecraft clone which is free and open software. On one hand it has less content, because it's still in a quite early development stage. On the other hand it has elements which Minecraft has not. I find it better!"

People who see me playing MT usually know I've been playing MC for over 2 years and that I loved it ( I still like it, but I'm in love with MT now).
First they're a bit confused, when they seem interested I tell them more details and how I came to play MT, sometimes they stay confused.

[BorisGrishenko]

Since Minecraft is extremely famous, clones that looks like it, people will usually make that mistake. I'd explain them what it really is. But if their stubborn I'd give them a bitch slap.

[Dan Duncombe]

I just explain that it is pretty much the same but free, with a much simpler modding system and that runs faster. Then I show them some amazing mods.

[Mihobre]

I scream at them and say: "This is Minetest!!! It's so so so so so better than Minecraft because its free and it easier to make mods!!! Minecraft isn't free, but Minetest is!"

[Jordach]

I chainsaw their heads off. With technic:chainsaw

[bdjnk]

Nobody in my family knew what minecraft was. Now they all call minecraft minetest.

[DaN]

I'd laugh in their face and they'd say, "What?"
or
I'd say "Nope, not Minecraft, but kinda like Minecraft, and open source." (and then they might ask what "open source" is...)

[Dan Duncombe]

I change what I previously said... I compress them till they change into peanuts, then I gradually squeeze them till they shatter and spray peanut everywher4e

[Splizard]

Its the opposite, when people I know see Minecraft they call it Minetest... XD

That's funny: it's usually when I start talking about the engine that my friends start to have an interest in it
The main point that made my brother switch to minetest is when I told him there's not a bit of Java in its code!

(and I don't talk here about geeks, most of my friends don't know what a source code is)
