I never did get into Minecraft - is Mineclonia a better place to start if I did get into it?
Only insofar that it’s free.
It does suffer from FOSS (fully open source software)-iness, since you have to install Luanti, then go into the content downloader (like Minecraft’s mod store) and install Mineclonia.
There’s also less documentation on Luanti than on Minecraft but Mineclonia is pretty 1:1 so you can use the MC wiki for pretty much everything.
So actually now that I write it out yes lol, that way you’re not having to pay $30 to see if you like a game.
ETA: Luanti also has Voxelibre, which started as a Minecraft clone but has diverged into its own game. Also less documentation but if you want different gameplay there’s a lot more you can install for free!
