I’ve just watched the video. I find it pretty outrageous. The word about it should spread.
I wonder how well the open-source Minetest would serve as an alternative for people who aren’t happy with Minecraft in 2024.
Mintest is a game engine actually. The actual Minecraft clone is MineClone2
Minetest is an interesting project, but it’s not a replacement for Minecraft. It’s more similar to Minecraft Beta but with modding.
I play a lot of MineTest, using the Asuna “game” (big modpack) and a huge custom set of mods, and have a game that’s like MineCraft but utterly different. Others play the MineClone2 game, and it’s fine, like MC 1.12 + some stuff. Repixture is an adorable mini-minecraft-like. There’s a lot of people who use it more as creative, and many servers with various games.
It’s definitely a little harder to set up the specific thing you want, but it’s incredible how much variety there is.

All the mods are processed hostside; the block info and etc. is sent over the network. This limits what can be delegated to clients, but lets joining completely ignore your mods, making it incredibly easy. Installing mods is also a few clicks, and there’s a built-in mod browser. Finding mods is the hard part. (also games are effectively modpacks)
Mineclone2 has been retired in favour of mineclonia
I stopped playing around release 1.8, the Minetest games I’ve tried mimic the features/style that I disliked (annoyance of hunger and inventory clutter at least). Nothing close enough that makes me want to refine it into my own vision.
