MineCloneJEpC
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 the collected blocks to create great buildings, your imagination is the limit
- You can build almost anything for free (no cost) and without limit
How to play (quick start)
Getting started
- Mine any block with right click
- Place cobblestone with left click
- Walk around
Farming
None built-in.
Furnace
None built-in.
Additional help
None built-in.
Special items
None built-in.
Installation
This game requires Minetest 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 MineClone2 in development versions of Minetest.
To install MineClone2 (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.
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)- Node selection
- Mapgen?
The following main features are available (including features I must now remove):
- Crafting system: 2×2 grid, crafting table (3×3 grid), furnace, including a crafting guide (TO BE REMOVED)
- Most blocks in the overworld (TO BE REMOVED)
- Weather (TO BE REMOVED)
- Status effects (partial) (TO BE REMOVED)
- Experience (TO BE REMOVED)
- Enchanting (TO BE REMOVED)
- Brewing, potions, tipped arrow (partial) (TO BE REMOVED)
- Fire (TO BE REMOVED)
- Buidling blocks: Stairs, slabs, doors, trapdoors, fences, fence gates, walls (TO BE REMOVED)
- Clock (TO BE REMOVED)
- Inventory menu (TO BE REMOVED)
- Creative inventory (TO BE REMOVED)
- Commands (TO BE REMOVED)
- And more! (It's a lot of work to remove)
- In-game help system containing extensive help about gameplay basics, blocks, items and more (TO BE REMOVED)
- Temporary crafting recipes. They only exist to make some otherwise unaccessible items available when you're not in creative mode. These recipes will be removed as development goes on an more features become available (TO BE REMOVED)
- Saplings in chests in mapgen v6 (TO BE REMOVED)
- Fully moddable (thanks to Minetest's powerful Lua API)
- New blocks and items:
- Lookup tool, shows you the help for whatever it touches (TO BE REMOVED)
- More slabs and stairs (TO BE REMOVED)
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, enemies and other features that shouldn't be there
- A few items have slightly different names to make them easier to distinguish
- Different music for jukebox
- 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”)!
