With the current fork of Mineclone 2 it’s identical to Minecraft (Mineclonia).
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 😭
Oh cool, can you link to the github repo? Because I am not sure which fork we are talking about :P
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".
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.
After trying both, I think Mineclonia is the better recreation
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
I'm also confused, in the mod browser I see Mineclonia and Mineclone2 but no Mineclonia2. Which is better?
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.
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.
