I just don’t “get” Minetest devs decisions to change the name and make themselves more distinct from Minecraft.
That was the appeal in the first place. If you’re not trying to be a Minecraft clone, you’re just another ripoff that doesn’t come close.
MineTest came close, but now they’re going in a different direction? Sounds like a self inflicted death spiral for the project…😳🤦♂️

@BeAware@social.beaware.live Yeah, but without the breakout hits like Prop Hunt or TTT, Garry’s Mod would have stayed in obscurity.
Even I, definitely a techy person and interested in a libre Minecraft replacement, have bounced off of it regularly because it was simply not an enjoyable game.
Which content packs have compatibility with which other content packs is completely intransparent. Let alone balance considerations and stuff. Who knows if I have to run this on bare-bones Minetest or Mineclone (1,2,3?)?
@lianna@mastodon.gamedev.place for sure, I haven’t dove deep into all the different content packs and mostly have stuck to 2 or 3 of the Minecraft clone ones but that does sound frustrating and confusing.
These changes they’re making won’t fix that though as far as I can tell.
