One of my favorites recently has been playing MineClone2 with some extra mods (can't remember which) through Minetest.
I've been boycotting minecraft since the news of chat reporting potentially coming to Java and MineClone2 is such a good replacement. Biggest gripe I have is not being able to get any of the mods that add sprint to work. Pretty much the only feature not available in MineClone2 (as far as I'm aware) from minecraft that I actively miss.
i havent done anything with mineclone, but have messed with minetest, it's pretty cool. Whats mineclone like?
Mineclone2 is pretty much a clone of Minecraft, like the name implies. It doesn't have all the current features Minecraft has, but it tries to make itself appear like a clone by having the same features as the official game. It works good enough as a clone. Also, someone here once told me they added sprint in an old update, but I can't get it to work if they did add it. So if you like sprinting around your world like I do, you might be out of luck.
In general it has the same things Minecraft has, but they're plenty of updates behind the official game because (if I recall correctly) I'm pretty sure the people behind it want to make sure everything works before updating the game. Don't recall if that's true, so take it with a grain of salt.
I'd have to check about looking into which features they have since it's been a while since I went into creative to check what they've added. I at least know they have the nether and end since there are achievements for them. Don't know whether they have the end dragon fight, so going to the end might be a bust for anything besides end stone.
ah, so basically, mcpe nether reactor levels of minecraft. Seems cool. Might load it up some day and see whats going on then.
Is there any mod you know for making the world larger/infinite?
I was a big fan of just traveling in Minecraft and finding new areas along the way. But minetest space constrains seems not to fit that playstyle unless there's a mod I don't know of.
idk about mineclone, but in minetest the world size is limited to a cube that is 62k in any direction, or from the center 31000 blocks in any direction. Which may not sound like a lot but even in my techmc world on javamc i've only ever been about 10000 blocks out from spawn, and that's a multi minute commute in the nether (8x faster than overworld) even.
Unless you are literally kurtjmac the likelihood that you will go that far is very small.
Have no clue. I don't even know how far out MC2 allows you to go because I've never gone to the edges of the world before. Only thing I know about world limits is that you can go thousands of blocks down in just the base game Minetest comes with, which doesn't apply to MC2.
Mineclone2 has sprint since the "sprint update" long ago. You get it by pressing "E" (or the "use" key if you remapped it)
I'll definitely have to look into that! That is an absolute game changer that will definitely make the game a lot more bearable for me.
Thanks for the info! I would have never figured that out on my own.
Edit:
Found it in the package manager. I definitely have that selective male blindness where I can look right at something and it won't appear in my vision.
