Minetest
- Minetest is a work-in-progress, there is still much work ahead
- World size is ca. 60000 blocks in all dimensions (including height)
- Built-in modding capability based on Lua (considered one of the core features of Minetest)
- Mods work server-side, you can join any random server and it will work out of the box, no matter what amount of crazy mods the server is using
- Crafting recipes are not automaticlly mirrored unless there's an explicit recipe definition for it
- Smelting time of items can differ on a per-item basis
- No dual wielding
- Built-in minimap and radar (press F7 to view)
Gotchas
- The Sneak Glitch (does not apply to all subgames)
- No game modes (damage and creative mode are treated seperately)
Minetest Game
Major gameplay concepts
- Different blocks, items, trees, biomes, etc. (obviously)
- No mobs
- No redstone or redstone-like mechanisms (but there's Mesecons)
- No enchanting, experience, hunger, status effects, potions, armor or brewing
- Eating food heals instantly
- No “dimensions” or portals
- Maximum build height of ca. 30000
- Can dig as low as ca. 30000 blocks
Note: Keep in mind that Minetest Game does not want to be an exact clone of Minecraft, but it is still heavily influenced by it. If you feel many features are missing Minetest Game, you might either try out a different subgame or add mods. Remember that Minetest Game is only one of many subgames for Minetest.
