MineClone 2

An unofficial Minecraft-like game for Minetest. Forked from MineClone by daredevils. Developed by Wuzzy and contributors. Not developed or endorsed by Mojang AB.

Version: 0.24.0

Gameplay

You start in a randomly-generated world made entirely of cubes. You can explore the world and dig and build almost every block in the world to create new structures. You can choose to play in a “survival mode” in which you have to fight monsters and hunger for survival and slowly progress through the various other aspects of the game, such as mining, farming, building machines, and so on Or you can play in “creative mode” in which you can build almost anything instantly.

Gameplay summary

  • Sandbox-style gameplay, no goals (for now)
  • Survive: Fight against hostile monsters and hunger
  • Mine for ores and other treasures
  • Use the collected blocks to create great buildings, your imagination is the limit
  • Collect flowers (and other dye sources) and colorize your world
  • Find some seeds and start farming
  • Find or craft one of hundreds of items
  • Build a railway system and have fun with minecarts
  • Build complex machines with redstone circuits
  • In creative mode you can build almost anything for free and without limits

How to play (quick start)

Getting started

  • Use the world generator “v6”!
  • Punch a tree trunk until it breaks and collect wood
  • Place the wood into the 2×2 grid (your “crafting grid” in your inventory menu and craft 4 wood planks
  • Place the 4 wood planks in a 2×2 shape in the crafting grid to make a crafting table
  • Rightclick the crafting table for a 3×3 crafting grid to craft more complex things
  • Use the crafting guide (book icon) to learn all the possible crafting recipes
  • Craft a wooden pickaxe so you can dig stone
  • Different tools break different kinds of blocks. Try them out!
  • Continue playing as you wish. Have fun!

Farming

  • Find seeds
  • Craft hoe
  • Rightclick dirt or similar block with hoe to create farmland
  • Place seeds on farmland and watch them grow
  • Collect plant when fully grown
  • If near water, farmland becomes wet and speeds up growth

Furnace

  • Craft furnace
  • Furnace allows you to obtain more items
  • Upper slot must contain a smeltable item (example: iron ore)
  • Lower slot must contain a fuel item (example: coal)
  • See tooltips in crafting guide to learn about fuels and smeltable items

Additional help

More help about the gameplay, blocks items and much more can be found from inside the game. You can access the help from your inventory menu.

Special blocks

The following blocks are interesting for Creative Mode and for adventure map builders. They can not be obtained in-game or in the creative inventory.

  • Barrier: mcl_core:barrier
  • Command Block: mesecons_commandblock:commandblock_off
  • Monster Spawner (WIP): mcl_mobspawners:spawner
  • Huge mushroom blocks: See mods/ITEMS/mcl_mushrooms/README.md

Use the /giveme chat command to obtain them. See the in-game help for an explanation.

Installation

This game requires Minetest 0.4.16 (or later) to run, so you need to install Minetest first. Only stable versions of Minetest are officially supported. There is no support whatsoever for running MineClone 2 in development versions of Minetest. To install MineClone 2, move this directory into the “games” directory of your Minetest data directory. Consult the help of Minetest to learn more.

The MineClone 2 icon has two grass blocks.

Bonus features (not found in Minecraft 1.11):

Technical differences from Minecraft:

  • Still very, very incomplete and buggy
  • Many blocks, items, enemies and other features are missing
  • A few items have slightly different names to make them easier to distinguish
  • Free software (“free” as in freedom and free beer)
  • Different music for jukebox
  • Different textures (Faithful 1.11)
  • Different engine
  • Height limit of ca. 31000 blocks (much higher than in Minecraft)
  • Horizontal world size is ca. 62000×62000 blocks (much smaller than in Minecraft, but it is still very large)

Project description

The main goal of MineClone 2 is to be a clone of Minecraft and to be released as free software. The focus on this clone lies especially on gameplay and to reflect it as good as possible. Ideally, no gameplay features will be added or removed. A secondary goal is to make modding easy as pie. Minetest is of great help here! Trying to stay faithful to the original look and feel is a side goal, but not an important one. If deemed neccessary, MineClone 2 will deviate from Minecraft in interface issues. There's already a built-in crafting guide and a full-blown in-game help system. Finally, any limitations found in Minetest (the game engine) will be written down in the course of development.
