For players familar with Minetest Game, this is a list of differences when playing MineClone 2 :

(As observed on Mark Server, 2019-12 .. 2020-02)

Apperance

• Graphics and textures
• Sounds
• HUD - the hotbar is the bottom row

Control & Inventory

• Digging - the player must use proper tool/weapon (otherwise no effect, or no drops). E.g. you can break stones by hand, but then you get no drops
• Picking up stuff - nearby stuff is collected 'magnetically'. That also means, you have to throw away unwanted stuff.
• Inventory - size is 4x9, Stack limit is only 64 for most items
• Crafting - player's crafting grid is only size 2×2, and doesn't work as inventory space.
  E.g. after crafting, its contents are put back into inventory, or dropped (if the inventory is full).
• Eating - put food on hotbar, eat it with rightclick
• Torches - cannot be placed in water
• Death - the player is moved back to spawn (or last used bed), at full health, with inventory intact.

Note: documentation says that inventory is lost / dropped to floor !
