MineClone2
An unofficial Minecraft-like game for Minetest. Forked from MineClone by davedevils. Developed by many people. Not developed or endorsed by Mojang AB.
Version: 0.79 (in development) Gameplay
You start in a randomly-generated world made entirely of cubes. You can explore the world and dig and build almost every block in the world to create new structures. You can choose to play in a “survival mode” in which you have to fight monsters and hunger for survival and slowly progress through the various other aspects of the game, such as mining, farming, building machines, and so on Or you can play in “creative mode” in which you can build almost anything instantly. Gameplay summary

How to play (quick start) Getting started
Punch a tree trunk until it breaks and collect wood
Place the wood into the 2×2 grid (your “crafting grid” in your inventory menu and craft 4 wood planks
Place the 4 wood planks in a 2×2 shape in the crafting grid to make a crafting table
Rightclick the crafting table for a 3×3 crafting grid to craft more complex things
Use the crafting guide (book icon) to learn all the possible crafting recipes
Craft a wooden pickaxe so you can dig stone
Different tools break different kinds of blocks. Try them out!
Continue playing as you wish. Have fun!
Farming
Find seeds

Barrier: mcl_core:barrier
Use the /giveme chat command to obtain them. See the in-game help for an explanation. Installation
This game requires Minetest to run (version 5.4.1 or later). 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

Target
Crucially, create a stable, moddable, free/libre clone of Minecraft based on the Minetest engine with polished features, usable in both singleplayer and multiplayer. Currently, a lot of Minecraft Java Edition features are already implemented and polishing existing features are prioritized over new feature requests.
With lessened priority yet strictly, implement features targetting Current Minecraft versions + OptiFine (OptiFine only as far as supported by the Minetest Engine). This means features in parity with the listed Minecraft experiences are prioritized over those that don't fulfill this scope.
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 beta stage. It is playable, but not yet feature-complete. Backwards-compability is not entirely guaranteed, updating your world might cause small bugs. If you want to use the development version of MineClone2 in production, the master branch is usually relatively stable. The testing branch often features some experimental PRs and should be considered less stable.
The following main features are available:
Tools, weapons
Armor
Crafting system: 2×2 grid, crafting table (3×3 grid), furnace, including a crafting guide
Chests, large chests, ender chests, shulker boxes
Furnaces, hoppers
Hunger
Most monsters and animals
All ores from Minecraft
Most blocks in the overworld
Water and lava
Weather
28 biomes + 5 Nether Biomes
The Nether, a fiery underworld in another dimension
Redstone circuits (partially)
Minecarts (partial)
Status effects (partial)
Experience
Enchanting
Brewing, potions, tipped arrow (partial)
Boats
Fire
Buidling blocks: Stairs, slabs, doors, trapdoors, fences, fence gates, walls
Clock
Compass
Sponge
Slime block
Small plants and saplings
Dyes
Banners
Deco blocks: Glass, stained glass, glass panes, iron bars, hardened clay (and colors), heads and more
Item frames

The End
And more!

Bonus features (not found in Minecraft):
Built-in crafting guide which shows you crafting and smelting recipes

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
Saplings in chests in mapgen v6
Fully moddable (thanks to Minetest's powerful Lua API)
New blocks and items:
Lookup tool, shows you the help for whatever it touches
More slabs and stairs
Nether Brick Fence Gate
Red Nether Brick Fence
Red Nether Brick Fence Gate
Structure replacements - these small variants of Minecraft structures serve as replacements until we can get large structures working:
Woodland Cabin (Mansions)
Nether Outpost (Fortress)
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 are missing
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)
Different engine (Minetest)
Different easter eggs
… and finally, MineClone2 is free software (“free” as in “freedom”)! Other readme files
