Minetest

[Chaosmancer]

Minecraft has a legion versus that community.

I'm guessing that by 'better' he means kinder, as in the people there aren't looking to fill the creatiom that took you several hours to build with TNT and find a way to make you unknowingly flip the switch/flip the switch themselves. Or fill your house/mineshaft with bedrock, or something.

Griefers are going to grief. I don't consider them as part of the legion of minecraft players.

And besides, I'm talking about on the forums. The people are pretty kind and helpful last time I checked.

I know, but it depends on whether you go by observing the community, or whether you take stories about a few people and then say that's the majority of players.

Ugh why do people rip off Minecraft so much, it isn't even funny.

This is designed for older computers that CANT RUN MINECRAFT. IT IS NOT A RIPOFF

Trying to say it is not a ripoff is like me making something like Devil May Cry, except replacing all the models with really rubbish models, releasing it for free and saying it isn't a ripoff because it is designed to work on older machines.

Its coded in C++ and Lua.
And its not just the graphics
Minecraft servers need 4 GB of RAM
Minetest servers can run comfortably on 128 MB of RAM

PAHAHAHAHA


no.


My server has 1GB of memory to play with. 4GB can easily cope with 60+ people on the server, with animals, explosions etc. Hell, i've seen servers with 256mb for a few friends to mess about on. 4GB is overkill. Besides, what makes this game 'better' than Minecraft? Just because it can run on old machines doesn't mean much at all.

And thats how much i pay attention to minecraft.
PLus, its easier to mod.
And it has a better community.

You don't mod. Minecraft is also easy to mod. You cannot compare the two, as you have no idea what you're talking about


Define 'better', in the context of a community.

Not being full of 6 year olds.
But if you don't like this game, then why are you talking about it?
Leave the thread for people who like it.

It's not full of 6 year olds, good sire. If anything, those 6year olds will more likely be looking for a free minecraft clone for crappy laptops.

I think he gets that from all the videos on Youtube of young kids playing Minecraft. Which are from the Xbox version of Minecraft.

[playzooki]

i made a house in the shape of firestorm V

[Hydro]

Very nice! I am going to install this game on my flash drive so I can play something worthwhile.

Edit: Still too low performance. Oh well.

[playzooki]

try turning some stuff off

[Hydro]

I did!

[Badger]

I'm pretty sure this game was only made because the programmer wanted to chLlenge himself. If he has made it run a little better than Minecraft, then good for him. However the only reason I can see for playzooki liking this is because it's free. Or because he's a hipster.

[playzooki]

The reason he made it is because his friends said he couldnt.

Im playing tjis because
1) i dont like the way to pay for minecraft.
2)Sometimes, it is fun to mess about with this. Once, someone set airto flammable and set the world on fire.
3)Its open source.
4)I dont really like the potions and dimensions in minecraft.
5) IMO mesecons> redstone.

[Badger]

1) Fair enough, you don't want to pay for MC
2) Fair enough
3) And? You're not a programmer/modder, being open-source means nothing for you.
4) Dimensions? And you can just use MCnostalgia to go back to beta/alpha before potions
5) From the sounds of it mesecons = redstone

[playzooki]

3) Actually i an. Ill show my lol fail block from 0.4.6 when i get on my computer. I dont tend to release mods, i just do it for fun. I am making a rickroll block which plays never gonna give you up and kills you.
4) Nether andend and all that. Ive tried classic, didnt really like it.
5) Microcontrollers, luacontrollers, lightstones, logic gates. Dunno if you get sticky pistons in MC.

[playzooki]

here we go again...

5) Microcontrollers, luacontrollers, lightstones, logic gates. Dunno if you get sticky pistons in MC.

You do get sticky pistons. And a lot of those other bits sound a lot like other Minecraft components - for example, Logic Gate = Redstone Comparator, Lightstone = Redstone Lamp, etc.

[Badger]

Wait, luacontrollers? Lua as in the scripting language?

Anyways, my main point is why play a game that's trying to be identical to Minecraft when you can just play Minecraft?

Edit: BTW, what is this game coded in? C++? C#?

[playzooki]

The main engine is in c++, the mods are in Lua.

And i play this because i want to. I have played minecraft - and i didnt like it



BTW, lightstone is those lights in firestorm.

[Badger]

Fine, if you're having fun, go at it. I just don't understand why this is more fun to you than Minecraft.

[playzooki]

Make the rickroll block in minecraft.

And do it in 10 minutes.

And i think that some pf you should try it. I sometimes mess about on vanessae.mine.bz port 30000

[cephalopod]

I don't want a rickroll block in Minecraft...
