FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Welcome to Minetest! Here you'll find a great community (minus a few....shall we say....rough edges....(people)), mods, and plenty of cool people with cool talent!

What draws me to MT? The fact that it's FLOSS, it doesn't have magic and undead (puke) in it by default, it's EXTREAMLY customisable, constantly getting better, has a great community, and it's JUST PLAIN AWESOME!

I love to see the game grow and new cool editions to it!

0.4.14 should be out relatively™ soon, maybe you'll see some of those additions.

Why I came to Minetest ? I hadn't played any voxel-game since Wine stopped making work my MC hack

A quick Google search for "free version of minecraft" brought me here, and mods/modding and VanessaE's creative server keep me here.

Oh, wow!

Fun. That's all. I suppose I could go to rigs of rods, or ... well, the (mostly) great community is also a big pointer.

First, off, yes it's free, open source, and is not restricted by height, but in addition to all of that, there are some other things too. Like the multiplayer server system, for instance: I never need to worry about making sure everyone is up to date on all the mods, and I'm the only one who needs to even know how to set it up.

Also, minetest is a do-it-yourself game. I get to decide exactly what I do and do not want in my world. If I don't like some aspect of a mod, change is just a few keystrokes away. And not only does no one care if I hack and edit the &!#$ out of mods, they'll help me do it!

And finally, the full minetest game works on android devices. Not some lightweight pocket edition, but the full game.

Minetest is never quite precicely what I'm looking for, but I can make it into whatever I want.

AceWill, does the expression "game" really fit to minetest?
