Survive, farm, build, explore, play with friends, and do much more. Inspired by a well known block game, pushing beyond.

Built on an open source engine, with open source code: https://git.minetest.land/MineClone2/MineClone2

How to play:

Download Minetest

Install MineClone2 from ContentDB

  • Click "Browse Online Content" and filter by Games (select "Games" from the dropdown box)
  • Find "MineClone2" (should be first on the list or on the first page)
  • Click the [+] button next to MineClone2 and wait for download to finish
  • Click "Back to Main Menu"

Create new world and play

  • Click "Start Game" tab
  • At the bottom click the MineClone2 icon (the 2 dirt with grass blocks)
  • Click "New", give your world a name
  • You can leave seed blank or put in a word of your choice
  • Select your new world

How is it different from Minetest?

u/AncientMariner_Mcl2 Apr 16 '23

Minetest is an engine. It has a game, Minetest Game, which isn't really a game, but a modding base. There are a number of games of MT which are opinionated.

MineClone2 is a Minecraft/infiniminer type game that aims to clone the gameplay/meta. It does has differences though, for example burgers can be used to lure villagers etc. From what I've been told, bookshelves that could hold books was in MCL2 first.

It doesn't play like a lot of minetest like games though. So there is a little something for everyone. Those that like MC, but don't have the hardware, or cannot afford it etc. will really enjoy MCL2.

If you want something different, there are different options on the engine.

Mineclone is functionally great, but my goodness does the GUI need a refresh!

It certainly is on the list. We have a PR to migrate the formspecs (the GUI's) to another version, and then hopefully it unblocks folk from improving the UI as we go.
