Clean room or not can't Mojang squash this at will?

I am not overly concerned about this. And a rebrand would be minimal work. Microsoft does not own voxels.

If this means easier modding, that's awesome. Also the server is cross compatible with regular minecraft installations? Interesting...
[–] dottel [S] ago
I am eagerly awaiting the modding api.

Not to try to belittle this project or anything, but for anyone who doesn't know, Minetest is also a pretty decent Minecraft-like game: http://www.minetest.net/
No Java (runs natively), and also has binaries available for multiple platforms (including Android). It exists in some Linux distro's repos as well (was a real nice surprise to see it in Fedora).

After a quick Minetest verse Truecraft Google search, I came across http://terasology.org/ ....Probly going to have to jump ship over to that.

He mentions that this will not have the end, but wasn't the end added back in version 1.0.0?
[–] tekk_ ago
In 1.0, this is beta 1.7.3. The End marked the end of beta, iirc.

Once the game comes along a bit more I may indulge in running a small server for a time. Take me back to those happy old days of extensive, and entirely useless, tunnel making.

Minecraft sans Java? Does that mean it actually runs well?
[–] Nepoxx 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Minecraft runs pretty darn well no? As much as I'm not a huge fan of Java, Java is fast and Java is portable. We have Minecraft running on every damn device known to man (for better or for worse), gotta thank Java (and OpenGL) for that.
[–] ReverendJ1 ago
Java runs on everything, yeah. It doesn't run well on anything though. Minecraft is many things, performant is not one of them.

If that impresses you, look into Minetest too.
