MODERATORS
Mojang is owned by Microsoft. Both versions of the game are developed by Mojang which is beholden to what Microsoft's goals for the game are.
I don't like Microsoft but don't think I can run away from Minecraft. Got a server with my friends and I really like the game. What would even touch it as a competitor or alternative?
Closest is Terraria. 2D, yes, but very expansive and tons of content
Yeah, I've easily got 10x the time in Terraria vs MC.
I wish the maps were bigger though.
Minetest. The game is way more open and customisable, and you can add in whatever rulesets you like.
