Minetest, a voxel game engine created to be something like a Minecraft clone, is finally smashing apart the chains to become more its own unique thing.

    The main thing holding it back as far as I can tell is the dead modding scene. Minecraft has the best modding scene of any game ever, hands down. You don’t even need to compete with that, just have a small modding scene and the game gets way better.

      It does have a decently-sized modding scene, though? Like, it cannot compete with the popularity of Minecraft and therefore doesn’t have as many modders.
      But it has a modding API, which makes it a lot easier to mod and means that the mods don’t break with every new version, so the effective output of those modders is actually pretty good.
