Hello everyone!
I have made a game for the Minetest engine wich tries to copy Minecraft.

Feature list:
  • Removed all not Minecraft stuff from minetest_game
  • Updated recipes to be Minecraft like
  • Deserts dont have their own stone and sand anymore; the default sand and sandstone is used
  • Added itemdrop mod
  • Added workbench; player only has a 2x2 crafting grid in his inventory
  • Added TNT mod
  • Added carts mod
  • Added flint and steel; flints drops randomly from gravel
  • Added undestroyable bedroch, wich spawns at -64; updated ore spawns accordingly
  • Added maximum build height of 192 nodes
  • Added nether mod
  • Changed chests to form doublechests when placed next to each other
  • MC like inventory, 9x4 size and stuff
  • Added some Minecraft-like textures (Note: Not availible as a texture pack)
  • Added beds mod
  • Added some basic redstone; currently indev
  • Added compass mod
  • Changed all digging times to be more MC like
  • Added shears
  • Movement physics tweaked
Compatibility with other mods:
Other mods are generally not compatible with this game.

Contributors:
Zeg9: Awesome MC like textures
Novatux: Code tweaks

nice to see a different game combining textures and mod, good work.

i also don't have MC but here are some details that i think are:

-mined stuff should drop on the floor and be added to inv when walking over it
-i think in MC you can mine stone and ore using your bare hands but you don't get the ores

This is much easier to use than AlwaysCraft because you just have to copy it into the game folder and create a new world. If you want to play AlwaysCraft you have to download the whole engine.

There are some other forks out there, I guess they are risking your proyect also lol

If you want your fork be more popular, make a better and useful mod, fork or whatever and stop complaining.

And please, don't open a new thread every day about your proyect, it's annoying (any mod here?) and it's well known even to the martians lol

I dont want to ruin other projects, but I tried AlwaysCraft and didnt feel like Minecraft. The only thing youve changed are the textures (it seems to me so).
In my MiniTest I realy changed a lot of things in the default mods. It is also a game for the engine and you can easily install and play it (in opposite to AlwaysCraft: You have to download the whole engine (as I mentioned above)).
So MiniTest an AlwaysCraft are two different things: MiniTest is closer to a normal mod and AlwaysCraft is a fork.

Suggestion: install workbenches mod and replace default crafting grid with 2×2.

Says the guy who built an entire website around a fork with few noticeable differences or mention of the original works' author. (just saying :p - i know you fixed it now )

The way i see some people just don't understand opensource. Its about people contributing source code, not re-packaging the same source code with different textures and a different name & credits to offer a competing yet nearly indentical application.

You can respect Jordach's efforts though because he's starting with something completely different (an ancient version) and building up new features from there. If i had to make a fork, i'd take the latest version and start disabling the more power-intensive features.

But if all you are doing is changing the textures, then offer it as a texture pack. I think you'll get more positive attention for your work that way :-)

I agree, working from the source to add highly used mods into C++ is a better job than slow and clunky LUA.

Do you mean the creative_inventory mod?
This is 100% copied from the minetest_game repo from github.
Do you have the latest version from github?

sure native C is gonna be faster than any interpreted language - but lua isn't that slow, at least not for what I run. My textures are all 64p but i keep an eye on what ABMs are running and how often. Some modders just abuse the API with excessive ABMs going off all the time all around you, and alot of users abuse the engine by loading too many mods lol - all mitigating factors :)

Like the node dropping into an item and being picked up when nearby. I think many people would like to be able to add that mod.
