Minetest ain't Minecraft!
Minetest ain't Minecraft!
Let me get something straight - Minetest is not Minecraft. Yes, people do make Minecraft-like mods on Minetest, which is fine. But it's just that many people say Minetest is Minecraft.
Minetest is a open source program inspired by Infiniminer, but mostly by Minecraft. Modding is really easy in Minetest, so this differs from Minecraft's annoying modding. Its really easy to register a node, unlike Minecraft.
About Sam, the 3d Character of Minetest. I saw some posts about Sam, and it's phrase was 'Sam Ain't Minecraft'. A player assumed this in IRC (I think).
It's just that, people always make a fuss about like 'Minetest is the worst game in the world, since it's copying Minecraft'.
Please reply to this topic.
Edit: Sorry 'bout the mistake. Hehe.

Lay this one to rest In the past two years i've seen plenty of moves to emulate MCs' gameplay, and every once in a while everyone chants in unison that we are not copying MC, even though it's plainly obvious that we are. None of my guests could even tell the difference, and I rarely have the energy to explain that our obsidian recipe is different

Minetest sure isn't Minecraft.
Minetest is open source and free, while Minecraft is proprietary and paid.
Minetest is written in C++ while Minecraft is written in Java.
Minetest has a modding api, while Minecraft does not.
While Minetest is a Minecraft clone, it is based on early Minecraft gameplay. Minetest focuses more on science, while Minecraft focuses on magic.
There you have it.

I agree. I fell ready to close very topic that comes up with this. So many saying the same thing.mauvebic wrote:http://pinetarpress.com/wp-content/uplo ... orse-2.jpg

Now for my thoughts. Minevraft will always be a better, more complete game than minetest art any point in the future unless minetest gets all the little things done and makes minetest_game more like a game and less like a test run(minimal game).

Minecraft is always going to be more complete. Eventually, the Minetest-engine and minetest_game will have matured enough to allow devs to focus on creating a new fork of minetest_game, possibly steampunk themed.* We're about two years from that point, however. Until then, Minecraft will be the standard survival, voxel-based game.jojoa1997 wrote:I agree. I fell ready to close very topic that comes up with this.

In a steam punk universe, internal combustion engines - like those in cars - never happened. Instead, the world got more efficient steam engines, and analog mechanisms became smaller. I imagine gigantic robots, better vehicles- basically, like the Roman Empire era, except with vehicles.
And "robots".
And "robots".

XD I never knew the player's name was Sam. I'm new to Minetest, so I have yet to learn its differences with Minecraft.
