No one wants to play Minecraft, they want to play dragons reloaded two, or harvestcraft, or whatever. Minecraft is really kinda bad as a stand alone thing, that's why people will still get excited when they hear the name hytale. The modding community is what people buy the game for, and that isn't replicated anywhere else.
Hard disagree, of i play Minecraft, it's for vanilla Minecraft. Clones just don't capture that arm feel and vibe of Minecraft either

Fair enough. It looks like Minetest has about 1,620 mods:

And Minecraft 169,849 (assuming that Curseforge is comprehensive):

Though I also see a lot of stuff online saying that Minetest also has considerably better performance and is a lot less buggy, so...shrugs
...What kind of idiots...?
