### Gameplay
|
2022-06-06 23:56:25 +02:00
|
|
|
|
You start in a flat world made entirely of cubes. You can explore the world and
|
|
|
|
|
dig almost every block in the world, and can use cobblestone to create new
|
|
|
|
|
structures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keeping true to the exact version of Minecraft that this is cloning, it's pretty
|
|
|
|
|
bare. There are only grass and cobblestone blocks. Press the action key to
|
|
|
|
|
respawn.

## Installation
|
2022-03-16 12:38:04 +01:00
|
|
|
|
This game requires [Minetest](http://minetest.net) to run (version 5.4.1 or
|
2022-06-06 23:56:25 +02:00
|
|
|
|
later). Older versions might work, but this is untested. So you need to install
|
|
|
|
|
Minetest first. Only stable versions of Minetest are officially supported.
|
2022-06-10 03:57:58 +02:00
|
|
|
|
There is no support for running MineCloneJEpC on development versions of
|
|
|
|
|
Minetest.
|

|
|
|
|
|
2022-06-10 03:57:58 +02:00
|
|
|
|
To install MineCloneJEpC (if you haven't already), move this directory into
|
|
|
|
|
the “games” directory of your Minetest data directory. Consult the help of
|
2019-03-07 13:51:21 +01:00
|
|
|
|
Minetest to learn more.

## Target
|
|
|
|
|
- Crucially, create a stable, moddable, free/libre clone of Minecraft
|
2022-06-06 23:56:25 +02:00
|
|
|
|
`old_alpha rd-132211` based on the Minetest engine with polished features.
|
|
|
|
|
No other features will be added.
|
2021-11-04 13:14:35 +01:00
|
|
|
|
- Optionally, create a performant experience that will run relatively
|
|
|
|
|
well on really low spec computers. Unfortunately, due to Minecraft's
|
|
|
|
|
mechanisms and Minetest engine's limitations along with a very small
|
|
|
|
|
playerbase on low spec computers, optimizations are hard to investigate.

## Completion status
|
2022-06-06 23:56:25 +02:00
|
|
|
|
This game is currently in **pre-alpha** stage.
|
|
|
|
|
It is playable, but has too many features.
|
2021-04-12 14:03:51 +02:00
|
|
|
|
Backwards-compability is not entirely guaranteed, updating your world might cause small bugs.

These things need figured out, and I don't know how to do them:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* In this edition of minecraft, a left-click places, and a right-click mines.
|
|
|
|
|
(opposite of later versions, and of Minetest defaults)
|
|
|
|
|
* A way for modpacks to change values in `game.conf` (This will only effect how mods expanding this game function)
|
2022-06-10 03:57:58 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* mapgen
|
|
|
|
|
* gamemodes
|
2022-06-08 05:01:20 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
2022-06-06 23:56:25 +02:00
|
|
|
|
The following main features are available (including features I must now remove):
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-06-10 03:57:58 +02:00
|
|

|
2022-06-06 23:56:25 +02:00

2018-01-27 02:35:45 +01:00

|
2022-06-10 03:57:58 +02:00

Technical differences from Minecraft:
|
2017-02-10 17:24:33 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
2017-07-25 23:18:22 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Height limit of ca. 31000 blocks (much higher than in Minecraft)
|
|
|
|
|
* Horizontal world size is ca. 62000×62000 blocks (much smaller than in Minecraft, but it is still very large)
|
2018-01-27 02:35:45 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* Still very incomplete and buggy
|
2022-06-10 03:57:58 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Blocks, items and other features that shouldn't be there
|
2017-02-08 18:17:11 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* A few items have slightly different names to make them easier to distinguish
|
2017-07-25 23:18:22 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Different textures (Pixel Perfection)
|
2022-06-08 05:01:20 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Different sounds (various sources) (TO BE REMOVED)
|
2017-07-25 23:18:22 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Different engine (Minetest)
|
2021-04-12 14:03:51 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Different easter eggs
|
2018-01-27 02:35:45 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
2021-11-04 13:14:35 +01:00
|
|
|
|
… and finally, MineClone2 is free software (“free” as in “freedom”)!
