From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is good news! Anyone here played it recently? How far has the game come in terms of content compared to Minecraft or Vintage Story?

it's just a framework, it depends on the mods you use. you can use mineclone2 if you want all the features of minecraft

Btw, mineclone2 also rebranded as Voxelibre, months ago, and for the same reasons. Voxelibre now actively moves away from copying Minecraft exactly.
If you want the closest copy (and my personal recommendation) check out Mineclonia.

Mobs kinda suck, because the engine has no native mob API.

There are great mapgens who take advantage of the 1000's of blocks world height.

You can use the mod lib from contentdb. Also it is worth pointing out that they are moving towards a subgame focus not a mod focus. The original game has been discontinued and isn't preinstalled. You install a game like Asuna to get gameplay and content.

Of course you can still use Minetest game as a base for mods. I do that for simple worlds.

No, mobs, not mods. Monsters, animals, NPC's. The lua libs are nice and all but they are always glitchy in hitbox and position.

Edit: you meant the second sentence? My bad.
