    Everyone 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!

    SurvivalCraft has a unique feature where you can download and upload adventure maps with ease without needing to pay or use an external application. in general, it's pretty fun to play. However, minecraft is a bit more fun!

    Night is falling and your blockhead is freezing. You haven't yet made shelter and your campfire has gone out. All you have is a spade, some wood and a few sticks. You have only minutes before exhaustion hits. Do you create a bed, dig a cave or refuel your fire?

    What wil.
