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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They probably meant MineClone2 which was renamed to VoxeLibre

Source code: https://github.com/VoxeLibre/VoxeLibre

I believe your supposed to download minetest then install VoxeLibre by moving their files into minetest

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

btw, what texture pack do you use with Mineclonia to make it look more like Minecraft? Or you just use original textures?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I'm also confused, in the mod browser I see Mineclonia and Mineclone2 but no Mineclonia2. Which is better?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

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.
