Why would I choose this over Luanti/Minetest?
post
That's a sharp looking game sir. I think since it's open source and procedurally generated that there will be a lot of interest.
As a hobbyist, I've tried for decades to get a 0.0.0.0 of my game. It's so tough to do on limited resources and time. I'm glad you made it. Congrats.
so it's open-source Minecraft? I love the idea conceptually! Not sure how much interest i have in playing more Minecraft tho.
At first I thought ehh, another Minecraft clone, but the more I watched the video the more this seems kinda awesome.
Procedurally crafted tools, no restrictions on build height, a massive view distance are all very cool. It has the same problem all Minecraft clones have though... It tries too hard to be Minecraft. The textures and UI are almost 1:1 that at first glance I could swear it's Minecraft. I hope it becomes its own thing as it gets developed more.

I'll note that the well-established Luanti (formerly Minetest) has no restrictions on build height[1], but I have always wished I could get a longer view distance. And I've never seen procedurally crafted tools, but Luanti has extensive mod support, so I wonder if it would be possible.
[1] Okay, technically it's restricted, but the limit is something like a 64 km about a 62 km cubic space, which is much more than I could reach.
64000 Blocks then?
I just looked it up. It's actually 61,839 blocks in each axis.
