I’ve tried to do research and found games that exist, but not many opinions on them. I don’t wanna rely on one singular opinion just to find out that the game is for them but not me. Classicube ie too simple. Cubys is like Minecraft’s Arch, and Luanti with Mineclonia seems the most promising, but have done the least research from. Eaglercraft isn’t fully open-source liscense-wize, Android java launchers like Mojo use too many resources, and PC launchers require a Minecraft install and a Microsoft account. I don’t wanna just straight up pirate the game directly either. How are your experiences woth those complete alternatives?

    Vintage Story is a Minecraft-like that’s fantastic. It’s only source available but it’s fully replaced Minecraft for me. It feels like “Minecraft for adults” since it’s a lot more intense in terms of survival and building

    Mineclonia (running on Luanti) is quite complete for a WIP, and tries to mimic Minecraft as much as possible in the engine. (Disclaimer: I have contributed to this repo)

    There is no good open source alternative in my experience, but hytale is a decent non-microsoft one

    yes but except you are a diehard free software fan there is no reason to not just play minecraft. it has basically no DRM, source code is no longer unobfuscated and it can be easily modded.

    Been playing Luanti Voxelibre, and been very content with its creative mode. But it spawns far too little ores, which makes the survival mode a pain. Or maybe I’m doing something wrong, idk.
