What do you think?

[Flying_Chao]

So... It's another Minecraft?

[Badnik96]

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

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

and then it turns out minecraft is just a ripoff of inspired by another game called infiniminer
PLOT TWIST

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

At least this one is free to play.

So it is exactly like Minecraft except less straining on the computer? So if Minecraft had a 'Super Ultra Low' setting for graphics, then it would be Minetest? 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.

It even has the same UI and everything.



And those totally item sprites totally don't look exactly like Minecraft ones.

[Badnik96]

I swear to god that is the exact same sapling sprite

[Sylandro]

I swear to god that is the exact same sapling sprite

It is.

Anyway, i'd give this my 2 cents in, because i have minecraft, and i think this would be nice.

[Chaosmancer]

Same for the torch sprite, and the other sprites look to just be very slightly changed Minecraft Sprites. But it's like a free Minecraft without having to pirate it. Not seen any screenshots that show mobs, but that doesn't mean anything. It seems to have some things from the Tekkit side of things too.



And this game is definitely not Minecraft. I mean seriously, look how different it looks.

[playzooki]

Those screenshots have mods in, which are very easy to install.

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

[cephalopod]

The poor man's Minecraft essentially.

Just because it is coded in a different language and can run at lower specs, does not make it any less like Minecraft. It looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, tastes like a duck, it is a duck. It looks like Minecraft (, it even uses the same sprites), plays like Minecraft, and has mods like Minecraft, that are easy to install like (most of) Minecraft's ones (the only one I can remember being a pain was the Uranium mod), the only difference is the language that it's coded it, that it can run at lower specs, and is free (I can't talk about sounds since I haven't played Minetest). You can't deny that it is a carbon copy of Minecraft. To do so is silly.

Edit: Just did a quick play, and it sounds the same, possibly lower quality sounds.

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.

Yeah, I have a buddy that was had a server on a Linux laptop with 2GB of RAM, with only 1GB allocated for Minecraft.

Minecraft has a legion versus that community.

Besides, the recent updates they've made to minecraft have made it much easier to mod (in the sense of adding mods to it, we leave the whole modding business to the people who actually can)

[Chaosmancer]

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.
