Luanti (formerly Minetest) VS Minecraft
Comments about Luanti (formerly Minetest) as an Alternative to Minecraft
Comment summary: Luanti (formerly Minetest) is frequently praised for being open source, with strong modding capabilities and an active community. It is often considered a leading open-source alternative to Minecraft, offering better moddability, code performance, and compatibility with low-end hardware. However, some users note it is not compatible with Minecraft and highlight it as a game engine rather than a complete game, suggesting improvements in underlying design are needed.Top Positive CommentMost Recent Commentmega-rutEveryone likes Minetest but it is not compatible with Minecraft. I recently googled Minecraft web client and found mcraft fun which is also open source, worked insanely well in my case, and I wish there were more projects like this. Like compatible with Minecraft in any way: make some migrations tools or anything, please! But still a very interesting project with a large community though!
LasertieI like Minetest because it's open source

Comments about Vintage Story as an Alternative to Minecraft
Most Recent CommentSleeves AnonAbsolutely a better game than minecraft in my opinion, but the reality is most audiences who still like minecraft will not like this. It's much more realistic, detailed, and hence more effort is required to play. Also, by default it has much harder survival mechanics, like food preservation and temperature.
Minecraft may have a lot of features, but Vintage Story has a more realistic feel to it. From the videos I have watched, I can tell I will be picking up this masterpiece of a game.
grawolfquinnAn amazing, fun game with great modding support and a ton of good gameplay features.
Great performance and very easy to use in a local network.
