I don't actually play Minecraft and probably never will. I've never played World of Warcraft and never will. I don't believe in phenomenon games and I don't have the time to get addicted to games anymore. But I do develop and clone old games that I used to play and I want to say I know there are some very difficult obstacles to overcome in a game like this but every time I look at a screenshot of Minecraft I always say to myself "are you kidding? that's a funsy project and if that is making money let alone millions(?) then I might have to remake it myself because that is absurd."
So I just wanted to say thank you for making a proper open version and giving Minecraft a run for their money. Also that I hope you make this open source so you can end the cloning madness before it starts.

I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.
Great Work!

I have no less than two prototypes for this game in my own "misc" directory. :)
Well done! Love it, I've tried the repos version and the HD textures, gonna have a looksie at the code. I'm already thinking of making simple hack n slash conversions just to get an open world MUD with multiplayer and huge, dynamic maps.
Flippin fantastic! If I can help out in any way with coding (I do C and Python mostly), testing or content, let me know!

I bought minecraft in Alpha. The reason I'm support Minetest over Minecraft is do the simple fact that Minetest runs smoothly and does not crash every few minutes.
Over a year, I'd think Notch would fix some of the weaker coding.
