Highly-moddable open source game through easy Lua scripting, with an active community. Its openness is its key feature, and many fantastic and unique worlds have been made with it, giving boundless creativity!
Superior to Minecraft in the way that respects the user: Good for low-end users, INTEGRATED MODDING, no dealing with large corporations, no need for a third party client to add mods.
To give you an idea of just how moddable it is, someone made a small barebones OS on it
It's a great engine, although some of it's API is a bit weird and it is annoying to add player controls
I adore this game. It has the classic Minecraft feel and it runs fantastically even on low-end machines.
It is highly customizable and moddable, making it suitable for players of all ages and preferences.
I like it because it is user-respecting and offline-ready.
it is not just an rip off it is an open source platform
