But can you join Minecraft servers with minetest? The community aspect is pretty important for lots of players.

It would be for the servers to change to it

You mean like a server side mod?

It’s a different game so if they ran that instead of Minecraft you would avoid the Micro$oft issues

As a player you could suggest the migration and see how people react

Oh that's a totally different take then. Nobody is going to suggest to a MC community to uproot, install a new game and transplant there. That's not a thing that ever goes well. Plus, it's not about one community in particular, it's about this whole ecosystem of independently owned and sometimes interconnected minecraft servers. As i said the social culture is very present in the way many people enjoy the game.

Now if there was a mod for minetest that could spoof the MC protocol (it is openly documented on the internet) and allow me to join a MC server, i would definitely do it, especially if minetest is more lightweight / hackable.
