# MineCloneJEpC
|
||
|
||
> PROJECT NOW ABANDONED. For now, see the https://github.com/rollerozxa/minecraftnt-preclassic repo
|
||
|
||
An unofficial Minecraft-like game for Minetest. Forked from MineClone 2 by Wuzzy.
|
||
Developed by many people. Not developed or endorsed by Mojang AB.
|
||
|
||
Version: 0 (in development)
|
||
|
||
SPECIFIC VERSION OF MINECRAFT CLONED: `old_alpha rd-132211`
|
||
|
||
### Gameplay
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
#### Gameplay summary
|
||
|
||
* Sandbox-style gameplay, no goals
|
||
* Use blocks to create great buildings, your imagination is the limit
|
||
* You can build almost anything for free (no cost) and without limit
|
||
|
||

||
## Installation
|
||
This game requires [Minetest](http://minetest.net) to run (version 5.4.1 or
|
||
later). Older versions might work, but this is untested. So you need to install
|
||
Minetest first. Only stable versions of Minetest are officially supported.
|
||
There is no support for running MineCloneJEpC on development versions of
|
||
Minetest.
|
||
|
||
To install MineCloneJEpC (if you haven't already), move this directory into
|
||
the “games” directory of your Minetest data directory. Consult the help of
|
||
Minetest to learn more.
|
||
|
||
## Useful links
|
||
|
||
Here's the Minecraft wiki page on the version of Minecraft that this is cloning.
|
||
|
||
<https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Java_Edition_pre-Classic_rd-132211>
|
||
|
||
## Target
|
||
- Crucially, create a stable, moddable, free/libre clone of Minecraft
|
||
`old_alpha rd-132211` based on the Minetest engine with polished features.
|
||
No other features will be added.
|
||
- 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
|
||
This game is currently in **pre-alpha** stage.
|
||
It is playable, but has too many features.
|
||
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)
|
||
* mapgen
|
||
* gamemodes
|
||
|
||
The following main features are available (including features I must now remove):
|
||
|
||
* Blocks in the overworld
|
||
* Weather (TO BE REMOVED)
|
||
* Status effects (partial) (TO BE REMOVED)
|
||
* Experience (TO BE REMOVED)
|
||
* Enchanting (TO BE REMOVED)
|
||
* Buidling blocks: Stone, Dirt
|
||
* Commands (TO BE REMOVED)
|
||
* Fully moddable (thanks to Minetest's powerful Lua API)
|
||
* And more! (It's a lot of work to remove)
|
||
|
||
Technical differences from Minecraft:
|
||
|
||
* 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)
|
||
* Still very incomplete and buggy
|
||
* Blocks, items and other features that shouldn't be there
|
||
* A few items have slightly different names to make them easier to distinguish
|
||
* Different textures (Pixel Perfection)
|
||
* Different sounds (various sources) (TO BE REMOVED)
|
||
* Different engine (Minetest)
|
||
* Different easter eggs
|
||
|
||
… and finally, MineClone2 is free software (“free” as in “freedom”)!
