- This isn't Minecraft. It's Hytale.
Just kidding. Today I am playing the open source Minecraft, Minetest. It features a lot of the core mechanics of Minecraft with some interesting changes. For example the best place to find Minecraft diamonds is normally -64, where as in Minetest the diamonds don't start until -1024! It also has a mod called Mesecons which adds the ability to use 'redstone', although it functions very differently. This Minecraft clone gave me serious Minecraft nostalgia.

MINETEST! www.minetest.net/
Thanks for your patience on the new vids!
I dedicated myself to solving my pop/crackle audio issues that have persisted for years (and multiple PCs and operating systems!). Using a custom output on OBS worked, but it lead to some horrible issues where 3-4 seconds would be cut off the end of each clip... a nightmare for someone who records in 3-4 second clips 😭
Can't wait for the next hermitcraft video
sick vid, love ur videos
wot
Hope you fix it Mumbo!
Great to hear! I’m so excited for more videos to cone
So important thing to note is that Minetest is a bit more like an engine than a full game. The survival Minecraft-clone-thing is mainly a proof of concept.
You don't need a proof of of concept for a thing that has already succeeded
@@randomcatname7792 Proof of concept for the engine. It proves the engine works and provides a testing ground for development.
@@randomcatname7792 Have you seen many opensource 3d voxel game engines other than minetest?
From what I understand, you have to mod in the mobs and the Minecraft survival elements.
@@randomcatname7792 it also acts as a demonstration for how to use the actual system - kinda like sandbox in gmod or the builtin mods in teardown
Ah, I’ve actually played minetest before. One of the cooler features was the fact that signs could be placed on the floor like welcome mats, if I remember correctly.
And yes, there are no mobs in vanilla minetest.
@dontreadmyprofilephoto5550why?

I have played it too, and i can safely say there is enough mods that i couldn't even download them all
damn
Just wanted to point out, as someone who worked in the minetest community for years, the project focuses more on being a platform for people to make their own games (through modes or entire games made in it) and the basic subgames provided are generally very simplistic and just showcase basic code patterns. There's a lot more to check out!

@@Myticalcattnip of course, there's many ways to do that. I can't really direct you to one precise workaround at I've quit for so long I'm sure they changed everything around, but you could ask on the forums and you'd get a quick answer!

@@jan_harald oh ty, I'll try play minetest
I am not a child anymore. Minecraft hurt me through betrayal, and I haven't been able to recapture the magic with minetest yet.
Fun fact: worlds in this game actually go from 32k blocks down to 32k blocks up. Pretty insane!
64 km seems a bit excessive. 4 km is probably more than sufficient.
@@jursamajone can probably just move the generation height to a higher y coordinate tho
@@jursamaj 4km wouldn't be enough to make the Abyss from Made in Abyss.
Well, it’s just 32k (2¹⁵) in every direction, which makes the World smaller than Minecraft’s. V7 mapgen can generate floating islands up in the sky. Though there are mods that implements realms by partitionating the height, MineClon2 implements Nether and End that way. "Dwarf Fortress style caverns" implements cavern layers underground and "Other Worlds" generating asteroid layers in the sky, both have various biomes per layer. @@jursamaj
@@jursamaj you don't need to use all of it. worldgen can be configured to use all of it though, massively tall mountians etc

Lol
"Original"
In 10 years from now everyone will be playing MineTest, and the kids won't even remember what a Minecraft is.
This is literally just MincedMeat tho
FYI the base minetest game is more of a modding engine than an actual game. For a more Minecraft-clone experience, you can use either Mineclone 2 or Mineclone 5, but there are plenty of other mods with completely different gameplay from Minecraft
I have massive respect for everyone involved in Minetest. Given that I'm already seeing some of my favorite mod creators start developing for Minetest, I feel like a decent chunk of the community will have somewhere to pivot if Microsoft ever _truly_ kills Minecraft.
it will happen sooner or later
Minetest is the basic engine. Where the real work is at -- the Games that it can play, like Mineclone 2. That's where the real hard work has occurred. I know, I made a few parts of Mineclone 2 over the past year (ish).
Given the new changes to EULA I'd gladly switch to Minetest just to not have to deal with all that nonsense Microsoft is trying to impose, like banning accounts.
HAHAHAHA mojang updated the eula with newer version to make less people aware of the change
Fun fact: mojang can false dmca people and they will do it if you step out of line
@@eliescobis9922 I mean, that's nothing new. What happened with Ray's Works is made even more disturbing by the twin facts that:
- it appears to have been a mistake
- it took Ray something like *three months* to get ahold of the person at Mojang who could _actually correct_ the mistake
And that's for a channel with 378,000 subscribers.
So kind of mumbo to answer his own question before we even click the video 🙏
Alright tokito

Seriously, I've commented about this on other videos, but I much prefer videos that have straight to the point titles or answer their own question in the thumbnail. For me at least, it creates much more intrigue as to how we arrived to said answer to the question being posed as opposed to simply asking a question that could go any way. Narrowing down the subject of a video creates more interest in my part. And it's funny.

@@Arya-no2qc minetest has an ended dragon? Is it in the ended dimension?
There were actual logic gates there tho, so if you studied Boolean operators you can understand those at least :v
@@ColinPaddockyou’re funny
It's because he uses MacOS
The game is open source so that means everyone that discovers it now through this video could theoretically contribute and make it better.
This is huge for the community, thanks for making this video. We'll be dealing with the aftermath of this video for years to come.
Mine test is designed to not just be a base game, but it's designed to be highly modable. Where it's strength lies is that it allows mods so much more flexibility than in Minecraft, because it's directly supported. That's pretty much the whole premise
the real issue with that approach is that people aren't going to mod it if people don't play it. Mods typically build off of a foundation to enhance a pre-existing experience, but minetest is intentionally trying to be a blank slate for mods.
@@robonator2945 WHich is great, because there is a large library of mods for people to play. It's open source, so people have made full games based off the engine. What you are saying isn't really an issue at all, because people *are* playing it.
@@interstellar_1Compared to Minecraft, nobody plays Minetest.
@@winxwest2964 Compared to breathing air, nobody plays minecraft. frame of reference is important, and minetest is decently popular in the frame of open source 3d voxel engines
@@Diabhorkthe first sentence is the funniest way you could’ve responded
Glad to see other people trying out minetest! For those who don't know, this "game" is more like an engine, and then you build your own game on top of it by installing different mods. There's a bunch that try to recreate normal minecraft survival, and there's loads of other kinds as well. It's really cool! And best of all, it's open source! Thanks Mumbo for introducing more people to this project :)
It's not only open source, it's *free software*, which means much more.
So kinda like early roblox then
I love it that he showcases new voxel/block games to people.
I just cant wait when he showcases vintage story to people lol
@@samuelpaquin7160except not exploiting child labour
@@Tile32684I mean, free software is kinda a given with open source, because if it’s not free people will just compile it themselves and redistribute it
Fun Fact: most Minecraft clones that exists are built upon minetest, which is why they're all so similar
Clearly, the Hermits need to play together in MineTest for a humorous "season 9.5."
Yes! Please! That would be so cool!
i'd love to see that!
Vouch ! 👍
That would genuinely be great. Especially with all the mods that can be added. Honestly with some mods it can feel like a Minecraft 2(just with bad graphics lol.)
if they do it would be great if they just act like there's nothing abnormal and that they're just playing normal minecraft
FYI There are Minetest modpacks that attempt to achieve a closer parity to actual Minecraft, with textures, mobs, & overall functionality. A bit like playing on Bedrock after years on Java, but maybe one version behind. Otherwise a very similar experience. Although this was back in Minecraft1.16 days, so no idea where they are at now.
Instead mod, we called it a game mode called mineclone, and it has nether too
@@sherkhan_5050 To expand on that, there's Mineclone 2 which focuses on stability, and Mineclone 5 which is more about adding features. The former is meant to be more or less equivalent with Minecraft 1.14, but are now adding stuff up to 1.17 or higher I think. I know it's got axolotls now, for what that's worth.
EDIT: Turns out Mineclone5 is no longer maintained, so Mineclone 2 has passed it in features and continues to add more.
So random dudes are making bedrock, actually trying to fulfill the goal of optimized moddable version of the game. It's a little bit sad, that Microsoft couldn't do it.
@@Resursatoryeah it's kinda funny.
Minetest is still way better optimized despite being a tiny indie project and also being written in C++, and uses normal lua scripts with a singular unified api provided by the engine itself for modding purposes.
Kinda makes me wish Minetest had taken off instead of Minecraft Bedrock.
@@UnknownGamer40464 Probably with fewer bugs than bedrock too
You should turn on the dynamic shadows and bloom. 😊 That, alongside waving plants, leaves and water are in the settings tab.
That's so cool I've just tryed it out and it's a gamechanger.

I actually played mine test for 3 years with my dad and we modded the heck out of the game and had so much fun and built cities and stuff. Very nostalgic seeing mesecons being used on contraptions just like my dad and I made.

Is this a different Industrial Craft? I might be sold :P (I mean into trying NodeCore - I play Minetest almost a year already.)
@@vintprox Yeah, Nodecore's big thing is that it contains bespoke mechanics that you have to learn as you play, from crafting to automation and more. It's very much a technical puzzle game bent on making you think outside the box.
@@vintproxyour brain will be turned to mush if you play too long
Minetest was the introduction to minecraft for my son and I. Many hours were spent adding mods (incredibly easy to add) until our world was a broken mishmash of imported structures we destroyed in mechs, cars boats, planes etc... i highly recommend the 'balrog' and survival with access to all items. Great times

i dont think "bad minecraft clone" does this game what it deserves. it's not supposed to be a clone of minecraft, it's supposed to be a platform for devs to make their own voxel games inspired by minecraft, and it does a pretty good job at that.
MINETEST!!!!! Oh my gosh I never expected you to cover this game!!!
I'm really into Minetest as I really love open source software. It's really cool to see it get more exposure from a TH-camr as big as you!
The project is still pretty small without a lot of developers, but it really has so much potential and I hope more people get into it!
Something to clarify: "Minetest" isn't actually a game. It's kind of confusing right now, but Minetest is actually a voxel-based engine. Minecraft-like games have been made for it, obviously- and the default game, "Minetest Game", is one of them, but an even better one is actually MineClone2, which you can find on the content database. It gets as close as possible to Minecraft. It's a lot... jankier, than Minecraft, to be fair, but it does have the Ender Dragon fight and everything iirc and is compeltely playable.
Also, I really like playing Minetest games because if there's ever a problem with it I don't like, like a block that's annoying difficult to break I can literally just go into the game files and just change a few numbers around in any text editor. Anyone can mod their games and add on new things very, very easily compared to Minecraft.
ALSO also also (I keep editing this with new things to say lol) shoutout to Wuzzy, a community member who made a really well-done platformer with the engine for last year's game jam. Not just Minecraft games can be made with Minetest; there's a lot one can do with it ^_^ !
It's good that at least one commenter is familiar with this game.
Yeah, I use Xed, and I can write fairly advanced mods with minimal effort in comparison to Minecraft.
I worked out raycasting in this when I was 12, to give some context on how easy it is to mod. I wanted to make a builder’s wand mod, but I lost the files at one point and gave up
Imagine Mumbo figuring out Pipeworks or Technics. If mese blew his mind...
Yeah minetest is super cool!
There is a mod pack called techage modpack, which has a quite a big learning curve but it adds a unique technology aspect to minetest! It is quite interesting and definitely worth exploring if you are doing this again.
Always good to see a big content creator taking a look at Minetest. When just starting out visiting servers is a really good way to get an idea of the myriad of different mods that exist that you can then use to create your own custom worlds.
6:35 return of Mumbo "Killsalot" Jumbo
I say it was a very chubblesome kill.
If you want more of that "I don't know what I'm doing" nostalgia, I HIGHLY recommend Better Than Adventure! It's a mod for beta 1.7.3 that essentially aims to imagine what minecraft could have been like if the adventure update never happened
BTA seems really cool, but it would be preferable if it was made for Minetest rather than being a mod of a beta version of Minecraft.
It's funny you mention BTA because I literally just watched a video about it from Paladin Ryan. That guy was how I heard about Better than Adventure in the first place.
Reindev is also very cool
Or Better Than Wolves!
@@Eddies_Bra-att-ha-grejer as far as I'm aware, minetest was even less well known at the time.

Bring on Hermittest SMP for season 10. Even as an April fools next year this would be fun to watch you all play.
Ooh, that might be the trick. One day they just switch to Minetest and pretend they were always on it instead of Minecraft.
lmao that would be awesome, april fools there is no big event, but everyone just pretends everything's normal, the mobs are pretty scuffed in minetest, but otherwise, you can use a minecraft texture pack, and you would have a pretty close-looking game, lol

@@theguyfromsaturn Tango would love Minetest. He might not go back if he got too deep.
You should definitely do more of this! Maybe make a series on this game seeing what’s possible with all the Minecraft related circuits, then maybe moving on to the more complicated stuff
It has the same eerie feeling that Minecraft had in its early days. I kind of love it.
In Minetest there's a mod that adds dynamic lighting, so a torch in your hand lights up the blocks around you.
It is called held light I think. Great to pair with visible weild item and skinsDB.
You know, the feature from Optifine that Minecraft tried to buy that one time XD

Just one look at the thumbnail and I immediately knew what you were playing. Gotta lot of nostalgia for minetest, it being my first "minecraft" It is really good with the mods in it, and nice that an influential like mumbo is giving it some love. Also the "redstone" mod is called Mesacons.

open source, and with apparently pretty great modding, this really doesn't seem bad at all. Sure, it's "just" a clone at the baseline, but I mean open source alternatives often are and are still great
Plus, it’s free
it's not really any more a clone, than checkers is a clone of chess, imho
it is a voxel engine, a block-based game...that's about all the similarities there are, lol
oh, and it includes common ores, and dirt, grass, stone, wood and other common natural blocks, I guess
it is a great engine, nice old project, and you can do more or less anything, some people play it in the style of minecraft, others play completely different gamemodes, there's even demo videos demonstrating e.g. "what if the world was a donut/torus" instead of a flat plane, by modding the minetest engine (deeper level than the normal mods can, but that's the beauty of open source), which is really really cool, etc etc

Minetest is pretty intresting I haven’t really played it myself but the fact it’s a open source game is fun
I've been dying to see big Minecraft TH-camr such as yourself covering Minetest. Glad you enjoyed playing it! I really want to see this game going mainstream, because IMO Minecraft is getting boring and very bloated (I have to install performance mods just to play it). Also, because if more people play it then more devs/modder will join the community and the overall quality of the game/engine increases. The fact that it's free will save so many parents money and decrease the act of pirating Minecraft.
Another thing I'd like to add is that Minetest engine is arguably much better than Minecraft. It is written in C++ so it's going to be much faster than Java, and I don't think Mojang will fix Java Minecraft performance problems at this point. It has a modding API built in, with mods manager/downloader right inside the game, so you don't need to mess with a custom launcher. I also feel that mods don't weigh down the game as much as they do in Minecraft. There's also built in shader now which is amazing.
Nice to see another minetest fan!
Yep, Minetest is better at most things besides having a really high quality default experience. Not that the default experience is bad, but compared to a game as big as Minecraft, it is hard to accept some of the flaws. Such as really janky mobs.
Mumbo! One really cool thing is that Minetest's modding capabilities are extremely integrated. Essentially, all mods are run server-side with no mod installation on the client, so there's no need to send modpacks around! All you need to do is join the server, and all the necessary mods will just work. I'd heavily suggest looking into them if there will be a "Hermittest" mini series since they can add anything from mobs, to achievements, to minecraft-like gameplay, to teleporters and trains!
Yep, and mods stay compatible for years unless a major version change removes or renames a really old function. This happens very rarely. I don't know if they even will do another major version number.
Mumbo, you've barely scratched the surface of Minetest. I'd love to see what you make of a game like Nodecore for instance. Or Pixture. Or mix-n-matching a bunch of mods on top of the base (and very basic) game that you tried. There's a lot to see, even a pretty credible Minecraft clone (two really). Hoping you keep exploring what the engine has to offer.
Mineclone 5 is abandoned unless I am mistaken. All major improvements it brought were forked into Mineclone2. Unless you mean Mineclonia which recently was picked up again and focuses on a lighter, more stable, and smaller gameplay setup.
@@JoeEnderman Has it been abandoned? I've basically stuck with Mineclone 2 and didn't pay much attention to 5 for quite a while, so I didn't know.
To be fair, I play stuff like Nonsensical Skyblock or Hades Revisited or the recent Survivetest that Wuzzy has been enthusiastic about mostly.
Oh, man, Nodecore. So tedious.
@@jonadabtheunsightly I never got into it because the gameplay loop just wasn't fun for me.
@@JoeEnderman Right, my conclusion was that it's the voxel equivalent of one of those nineties graphical-adventure games where you wander from room to room finding items, but you can only hold three items at once and have no idea which items you need to carry to which rooms in order to solve which puzzle in order to advance the game's progression one more step, so you spend all your time retracing your steps to retrieve things you had to leave behind so you can try each of them in combination with each other one for each puzzle until you find the magic stupid combination that unlocks the next thing.
The fact that you can mine so deep is actually super cool omg
The limit if I recall is somewhere around -32K blocks. There’s even a mod that adds special giant caves in the -4k to -12k range.

Minetest was actually released in 2010, only a year after first Minecraft release.
@@lmaorxenix7329 Did the developer forget that they made it until recently or this the product of over 13 years of work?
@@captainsprinkles6557 Well, Minetest is more like the game engine. There are a lot of mods that add mobs and blocks and a lot of other stuff. Some ModPacks are very similar to vanilla Minecraft, some are different. It's more like a system where you have to put all the plugins together instead of whole game where they balanced out all the functionality and bundled them together for you.
@@captainsprinkles6557 What you're looking at is a default, VERY stripped down game which is intended to have many mods applied to it for mobs, block variety and so on. So obviously it's gonna look bare-bones, it's basically the blank slate that comes with the engine.
That said, there are a wide variety of more developed games *for* Minetest that can be easily found with the built-in content browser and just as easily installed. Some of them change the mechanics rather wildly, like the popular NodeCore, while others stick a lot closer to the basic Minecraft-like concept but with a personal twist, like Voxelgarden or Pixture.
Hence the name "Test" I get it now. Thanks
Hermitcraft Season 10: All the hermits playing minetest
good idea
Mumbo, it's so good to see someone playing Minetest! I discovered it several years ago and played with it a little, but the community is so small that I haven't put much time into it. The strength of Minetest is how easy it is to mod. This is because they expect you to mod it. It is more of a voxel game engine than a game by itself. There is even a whole modpack out there to turn it into a pretty decent Minecraft clone! I hope to see some more of this sometimes :)
I personally prefer to work from Minetest's strengths, and I like Asuna because it accepts that Minetest isn't Minecraft. Whereas Mineclone2 thinks it is Minecraft, and ends up feeling a little off to me.
Mumbo, do more! It's especially fun when you are on a server! I could probably show you around one, as this game's strong suit is the modding potential.

And yes ore depths in the default game are horrid. I would love to see you play one of the other, better balanced Minetest "games" (mod-packs) like SurviveTest or even one of the MineClones.
There's a great "capture the flag" server that runs on Minetest I used to play all the time. That's pretty much all I know. Oh, and it had the shooty sticks that Mojang recently TOSed.
I used to play there, I’d dig underground and try to bring the flag through a secret tunnel
With their AND gates and things like that, this Minetest plugin actually teaches people how electric circuits work. That's fantastic. 😃
Loving the compactness of it all compared to OR/AND/XOR gates made with... multiple torches and dust each? One can dig deeper and try Lua controllers for extra craziness.
thank you for answering the title straight away 🤣
youtube?
@@mihindissanayakeyes
How does the is have 3 likes. Let me fix that.
ratio
@@crazy_wwwwit's only a 5:4 like-to-comment ratio rn.
Yes finally! I've been waiting years for a big redstone TH-camr to make a video on Mesecons!
You should try Scrap Mechanic stuff next! It's a $20 game and I think you'd enjoy the mechanics, as they are really simple and easy to learn. There are also many mods, so you can have more parts, aerodynamics, etc.
Mumbo playing Scrap Mechanic would be so cool
@@cl4655 I second this. Scrap Mechanic is amazing.
@@4megii It really is, but the physics suck.
The "oh gosh" after Mumbo murdered a a poor innocent butterfly made me DIE of laughter, was hilarious
I'm always excited to see open source software
I can't believe Mumbo is quitting Minecraft for Minetest perminently!
I kind of want Mumbo to run around in Hermitcraft for a day in that skin to see if anyone says anything. LOL
Minetest Sam is the name. And, yeah, that would be fun. It stands for Sam Ain't Minecraft.
I love how the name of the skin/character is a recursive acronym.
@@AceFuzzLord kinda common with open source shit honestly. GNU popularized them a bit
@AceFuzzLord very common trend in open source projects. The acronym GNU stands for GNU's Not Unix. Other software on the Linux OS has those names like WINE (Wine is not an emulator) and JACK (Jack audio connection kit)
@@llynxfyremusic there's also AROS, which had to change its name to AROS Research Operating System
I'm so happy you covered this game! This game offers more freedom than Minecraft and I urge everyone who didn't like the new chat reporting system to consider this game/engine. The massive amounts of mods for Minetest is great.
Minetest is actually barebones on purpose, there are mods you can install that extend it or you could just make your own minecraft clone or your own game.
there is a mod that tries to recreate minecraft 1-1 called mineclone.
there is a redstone mod
you can also install mobs as a mod.
I recognize this immediately. Love the game, great community. I've even talked to the devs and they're very nice
I intentionally crashed a major server on this once. Even talked to the owners about it later, good times
I believe Minetest is generally considered a game engine, upon which other Minecraft-like games are built.
This is super fun! I'd actually REALLY enjoy watching you experiment and discover more..seeing what you come up with. You might get cross-pollinating ideas/inspiration too. Anyway, I think this was fascinating!
Nice! Minetest!
Minetest content, but doing redstone stuff (Mese stuff) is nice idea. I hope i can watch more stuff like this soon. :D
That was fun. I'd genuinely enjoy seeing you play more of this game, even though it looks like a really close clone of MC.
A new Mumbo upload honestly just brings so much joy! Brightens my day and makes it better!
Minetest is a game engine in which you can build your own games. I'm wanting to build a true 3D terraria-like game. Same side view 2D looks, but being able to move in and out of further depth dimensions.
Mineclone is a minecraft clone built in Minetest. It has mobs, items, etc, farming, the lot of it. I hope you'll give that a try as well, since it'd be closer to a minetest experience.
Also, don't try and find the bottom of the world. It's very very deep. 1000 depth is not even barely scratching the surface.
The darkness levels are actually super cool in this game, that was actually scary when you got to that huge dark area
Hey hey! It's good to see more people discover free and open source Minecraft 😁
Yes, it is. I wonder what the impact of this video will be? Probably we will get some new mods, and a lot more downloads if I had to guess.
@@JoeEnderman Yeah definitely. I'm just so happy to see this underrated game get some more attention. I'm chuffed to bits after watching this 😂
You should definitely play more minetest in future. Especially looking at more of the mods and maybe seeing how close a redstone mod is to minecraft redstone.
Block type of redstone dust is what I have actually needed.
Minecraft should introduce it.
Minetest is pretty great, at least in theory.
Everything is a mod, and the mods are written in Lua instead of a made-up scripting language.
And the world height is sixteen bit. You can literally dig your way to the Nether instead of using a portal.
If you installed the Nether mod.
I have played minetest more than minecraft, so easy to use, lots of very cool mods and very easy to make friends in the multiplayer servers.
minetest is seen more like a platform for server admins to build upon than a complete game experience, basically modders heaven
I've never seen a game like this before, woah! This sandbox game where you can build and do whatever you want looks so fun!
I mean, it is a pretty popular category of game. Even if you say Voxel.
Excited to see Mumbo's soft launch of becoming a minetest youtuber!
I actually played minetest before purchasing minecraft back in like 2013 or maybe earlier than that.. it was around version 1.7.2 that I started minecraft. There are a bunch of mods that add so much to minetest.. including dropping blocks when mined so you have to pick them up like in minecraft.. some mobs.. tons of new ores and quasi-dimensions, etc. It is definitely worth playing if you grab the mods that enhance the game in a way you would like to play it. Mods are relatively easy to edit, as I seem to recall it uses LUA as a programming language instead of java. It has been many years, however, so my memory may be off.
In any case you will likely have times when you want to play it again, I am sure.
Yeah, they stull use Lua, and despute a few old mods being deprecated, the new ones are worth it, and most of the good old ones have been picked up by new devs or replaced.
the engine itself is programmed in C++ with the modding API in lua (a lot of games are like this, since it's really easy to include lua in C/C++ projects).
Now to wait for Mumbo to get into other voxel games like Vintage Story
Hoping to see more minetest in the future, as it's probably the coolest voxel-based engine/game out there. I've played it occasionally with the MineClone2 mod.
I've been playing minetest for almost a year now! (Too broke for minecraft) If you do this again, build something with coloured lightstones, there light redstone lamps but, color. One other cool feature is the Screwdriver that can rotate blocks, similar to the debug stick, but can also make sideways stairs and vertical slabs
Or, my stones mod...
If you don't want to see someone talking about thier own stuff, do not click to see more. Final warning.
Too Many Stones. It gives a lot of decorative potential. I try not to brag about it too much, but I put a lot of effort into it, and I am proud of its current state. Over 77 stones, each with several variants, some glow, optional geodes, and biome specific spawning. I also translated it into French and Russian. But, TMS is not for everyone.
@@JoeEnderman That's you? Well done on a great mod! Clean and polished content. I don't personally use it now (I built a custom game for family, different stone generation philosophy) but I would 100% recommend your mod to anyone looking for huge variety of stone, with great and interesting distribution around the terrain. It's really novel to come across a cliff or digging down and to see 2 or 3 different blobs of new stone colours and textures, dreaming of new builds made possible with such variety. :)
@@FortisConscius That is what it is for for. I just really missed digging down and running into Granite, Diorite,Tuff, Basalt, Blackstone, and Andesite.
