Minetest 5.9.0 has been released with performance improvements for rendering and map generation, new graphical effects, and much more.

How is mine test these days? I haven’t tried it since I was in a kid and couldn’t afford Minecraft

Very good for certain games. Try VoxeLibre. Its a Minecraft clone turned fork with some differences. A lot of fun though.

I’m probably the only person in the world who hasn’t played Minecraft.

We have a family Minetest server runnning Asuna since Summer 2023. Usually based around just crafting different things. Even for a few months we just put on creative mode and built two huge cities about 8,000 blocks apart and sky train connecting them, and then a third underground cave city about 2,000 blocks away.

We’ve had major upgrades of both Asuna and Minetest within the past few weeks so it’s pretty exciting.

With the current fork of Mineclone 2 it’s identical to Minecraft (Mineclonia).

I’m also confused, in the mod browser I see Mineclonia and Mineclone2 but no Mineclonia2. Which is better?

That’s my bad. It’s Mineclonia that you want. I confused the names since Mineclonia is a fork of Mineclone2. You can also check out Voxelibre. Apparently it’s also a clone.

I guess its named just Mineclonia. You can still try search it here: https://content.minetest.net/

Mineclonia is a fork of MineClone2, last time I tried them, they were quite simmilar (obviously). As far my experience goes, the saves are not 100% compatible (textures broke, but it remembered blocks) and same with the mods, some work, some fail. I would try both.

Oh cool, can you link to the github repo? Because I am not sure which fork we are talking about :P

There’s no GitHub link, the add-on is inside Minetest when you search all available community plugins. Just type “mineclone” into the search bar and you’ll find two plugins. I use Mineclonia but Voxelibre is another one. Haven’t tried it though so can’t recommend.

btw, what texture pack do you use with Mineclonia to make it look more like Minecraft? Or you just use original textures?

I just use original textures. I’m sure there’s a texture pack that mimics Minecraft but I haven’t bothered

After trying both, I think Mineclonia is the better recreation

you can just use the content tab to install minetest “games”, which is what they call the thing most people would probably call a “modpack”.

Considering what M$ has done to Minecraft, that’s immensely AWESOME to know! I really need to put some time into Minetest / mineclonia…

It’s a nice shot of nostalgia if you’ve dropped out of Minecraft for a while. I didn’t realize how hard the game was haha. Died so many times just trying to build a base.

Had wood floors down and came back onto the server to find a lightning storm caused a fire and burnt down all my trees and exposed wood floors 😭
