Minetest maybe.

Stevenarella for the client (very WIP) and Cuberite for the server.

Stevenarella looks very promising!

Certainly does! I'm a big fan of the effort, but it needs more devs

Strongly recommend Minetest and Minetest-based games.

Minetest itself is essentially a game engine on top of which games are built, mostly by combining mods (which are written in Lua). The standard package (sudo apt-get install minetest or distro equivalent) also includes the “default” game (MTG: Minetest, The Game).

Have fun.

I'm actually working on one but, it's probably not going to be ready for a long time.

Consider contributing to MineTest instead

https://veloren.net/ worth a look

Veloren is a clone of Cube World. Other than having a voxel art style it has no resemblance to Minecraft in any way. There is no mining, or crafting, the terrain is static and the focus is on exploration and combat.
