      I already fired up a game. So much nicer than Minecraft from first glance. Way faster and simpler.

        You can install add-ons too. Which makes it all that much more expandable.

        I've never dug to far into it, but the mods I saw we're pretty cool looking.

            From the setting up a server page: Residential Internet connections tend to be unreliable and also have less upload speed.

            What kind of connection is required for a few players?

              The same kind of upload you would use for MineCraft.

              Being on ComCrap with 2.5 mb up ain't gonna work 🙂

                it looks like it's not quite up to MC in features, but interesting.

                  I've never played before, I have no idea what kind of resources it requires lol :man_shrugging: I've always wanted to try it, just haven't for whatever reason.

                  I have a DL360 G7 at home, with 100/15 internet, would I be able to host a world for a couple players?

                    For maybe 5 players or so, yeah.

                      yeah- but the sound and electricity wouldn't be worth it. A more modern box would cost you so much less in the long run.

                        Depends on what you consider features. Open, fast, just works, can run your own server.

                        I've only played with it for a minute, but "official" MineCrap is pretty awful. The basics are so flaky or they block the key features. Looks like it's Minecraft that needs to catch up.

                          You must mean in mods, as in terms of features the original MC game is pretty plain too.

                            Looks interesting. Free is always good.

                              redstone for one is missing. There seem to be mods that add some of that back, but not everything. Also, nether and the end.

                                So while I can agree that some things are missing, there are alternative approaches through mods in the game.

                                MineCraft doesn't have Mese Blocks therefore that game is lacking

                                  And in MC i can only dig or build 256 blocks deep. What is this, child's play. Minetest I can go 31000 blocks up or down!

                                        honestly, that part alone makes me want to try this. I always thought 256 was way way too short. It totally throws off the scale of things, and that fact that worlds were +/-30 million in X and Z made it even more distorted. I know there was the cubic chunks mod in MC, but as I understand it, lighting is a big part of why MC does't have a taller limit currently. I always wanted Large mountains, but even the ones that look good in MC still aren't really that tall IRL.

                                            from what i read, the minetest worlds are 60k cubed. I can't think of any good reason to even go out that far on a standard MC map. The vertical distance is a big deal.
