Cool idea.
On the topic of FOSS, and promoting it, could we possibly get a MineClone2 server hosted, please?
We set up a community here and favour it over reddit: [email protected] (edited in proper URL)

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Is the server going to be accessible to people who play on TLauncher or other cracked minecraft launchers?
Edit: ok, as long as the game is not owned by some evil company.
Changed my mind a bit. God damn Microsoft suck a shit company. Keep your money and pirate minecraft
Meh, I wouldn’t really care now that Microsoft owns it
Good thing Microsoft bought it and not Google
I mean since it’s Microsoft now it’s not really a big deal, also after they introduced the chat reporting featu6 which was (and still is to an extent) easy to abuse by malicious actors.
I know that debates about chat reporting tend to get very ugly and hostile so I’ll just link to videos explaining the problem, rather than dive into a heated debate (I won’t debate with people, and I certainly won’t respond to ad-hominems or baseless accusations).
(Not YewTube or piped links, sorry)
Though I will say running a cracked or Offline server is much harder and requires more effort and using an Alternate Service like ely.by to authenticate users means it’s harder for people to join, so I know why most people aren’t committed to doing it. It’s either too much effort or way too limiting.
I bought both minecraft version on PC, but I use TL launcher, I prefer it to the main one.
re-edit: just use Prism Launcher, that’s where the polyMC’s devs went to. old comment:
there is that one other launcher…
eeeh can’t remember the name right nowit’s polymc . but it’s basically as good as the official one as far as connecting to server goes.PolyMC has a toxic lead dev. Google it to learn more. PrismLauncher forked from it about a year ago taking nearly all the active devs, and it remains my favorite launcher of all those I’ve used.
Fuck PolyMC.
PolyMC is great, has easy access to Mods, Offline mode (No Account), and separates versions into separate .minecraft folders called instances, very useful if you want to load up and play older versions.
Only downside is some issues with Music Playing and World Icons not saving correctly.
Nope.
Missed opportunity with not calling it minecraft.world, though I imagine that has probably already been taken lol
It seems to be available actually. I suppose they could use it if they wanted but I’m not sure how much it costs.
I think the lemmy.world mods would rather keep their arms and legs, instead of using them to pay for a premium minecraft domain lol
Very true, I’m not sure how much it costs, could be extremely expensive.
Usually popular domain names are around $50+ a month. Hopefully by using .world they can keep it below $10 a month.
Also this would probably be breaking the EULA pretty hard if they were to buy it.
How so?
It’s a copyrighted name, so it would be copyright infringement.

Still a good point, might be an issue to use that domain.
I can’t fucking believe people are just allowed to swear up in this bitch. Gone are the good ol days when a motherfucker was safe from the shitty reality of the world and it’s fucking pottymouth when they logged into a Minecraft server…
What is the average age on this instance? Maybe I was too old already when Minecraft came out, but I thought it was a game for 10 year olds.
You’re never too old to start enjoying things. It’s nice to escape from being an adult for a while and just have fun.
I see old people on the minecraft server but young ones too :) You are welcome ;)
I’m 50. But my kids of 9 and 10 are also on the server.
There’s no age limit for enjoying things. I made that mistake once, and I realised afterwards that those enjoyable things make me feel alive.
I’m 40. Minecraft is so good. I play harbored games mostly like Elite Dangerous and a ton of RTS or FPS games. Minecraft is different but it’s magic.
Damn, I feel like a child, being 18 and all, so many 40+ people here haha
If it was a game for 10 years old, and it’s been 10 years from release, then we get 20 years olds :) Also its like Lego, anyone can enjoy it
44 and I play with my 9 year old 🫡
Hi5! I’m 45 and I have played MC from the beginning, still play it more than any other game. Now my little kids play it with me and it’s their favorite too.
Well there’s room on our server! We’re friendly ;)
I’ll probably hop on when I’m feeling froggy
So around 27 🤣
Me and my army buddies all discovered the alpha version of Minecraft in 2011 while deployed in Afghanistan. One of our Intel guys brought it back on an external drive from R&R and we all installed it on our laptops. Soon, the entire camp was playing it when off shift, including old, crusty infantry platoon sergeants. It’s an ageless, timeless kind of game. Like someone else said, it’s like building stuff with Legos.
it’s like building stuff with Legos.
I got Minecraft when it was still in beta, for exactly that reason. I was in college, I had some free time, and I liked messing around with the demo - it reminded me of all of the fun I had playing with Legos as a kid. I think it cost me maybe $15?
Now, a decade later, I still play it fairly often, and given all of the content that’s come out since then, it might be the most worthwhile $15 I’ve ever spent.
Appreciate it, but why not Minetest? It is open source and more customizable than Minecraft.
It’s a completely different game lol. It’s like announcing a chess tournament and saying why not minesweeper.
I swear the most annoying part of lemmy are the people who think all open source options are better than all closed source.
Yea they are so weird and annoying
For me it’s the ones complaining about how you spend your own money 🤡
Then why do you prefer Lemmy over Reddit?
Because it’s less addictive than Reddit.
Because it’s not Reddit, and is active enough.
In terms of content Lemmy is definitely inferior to Reddit. So it is, it’s not very old and not very large compared to Reddit. But because of Reddit’s decisions, I’m here instead of there.
I think you should make an effort to use open source whenever possible, even if it’s the inferior option. I don’t believe this out of any ethical or moral obligation - it’s purely selfish reasons. Any proprietary code that runs on your hardware is something you don’t control. For example, we really have no idea what kind of telemetry Microsoft put into Minecraft.
You are essentially taking your hardware - something you physically own and belongs to you - and turning it into a mechanism for advancing the interests of a megacorporation. Me personally, I prefer my hardware to benefit me and me alone. I don’t want it sending data home to Microsoft so they can feed their AI models at my cost.
The more proprietary software you run, the less and less you actually own your computer.
If I could give an award to you I would lol
Not necessarily, there is MineClone2… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aHym2jUB1M
That’s cool and all, but nobody is gonna play that over Minecraft lol
You’re on Lemmy here. There is many people who actually care about privacy and telemetry doesn’t sit well with them. Many have been put off by the recent direction.
We’re talking about video games here. Nobody is going to take you seriously when you are going to try and convince people that game is the foss Minecraft killer. Good job downvoting me on a week old post though.
I’m not trying to convince folk at all. I’m stating a fact that many prefer it because of it being FOSS. I don’t think anyone could ever persuade you of anything. Btw, Karma doesn’t exist here. That and your toxic attitude are better found on reddit.
Yeah I don’t know who this “many people” are lol. Also nice projecting.
🤡
Do we need a Mojang account?
Isn’t microsoft and mojang merged now?
Yes. I ignored all their emails so probably lost my license from alpha lol.
The cutoff for migrating was only a few days ago actually… I think they’ve somewhat extended it so if you want to keep what you’ve paid for, I’d strongly suggest looking into migrating.
If you don’t have access to the email linked though, good luck…
Nice. I’d kinda like to see games like Minecraft become more like the Fediverse, where you could walk between worlds hosted on different servers in-game
Like this rejected Minetest suggestion
Ask Micr*soft to add ActivityPub to Minecraft.
In fairness that task would likely fall on server hosters and server software maintainers as Microsoft and Mojang only provide the Authentication services and Game Jar file repository. They have little incentive to provide more than the bare minimum since their primary concern is updating and maintaining the game itself, servers are a secondary concern to them.
I’m pretty sure server connections themselves are mostly P2P so that would be difficult, might be doable though since there are plugins to allow hopping between multiple worlds on a single server but that’s very different than hopping between multiple servers.
I won’t play since it’s with protection plugins. I’m not a Greifer but this is lame
No worries
No worries, you can grief somewhere else :)
Is there an open source option to Minecraft? Some of the latest decisions Microsoft has been taking with it have been quite anti-consumer.
Yes there is, it’s called Mintest!
Minetest is an opensource voxel game engine. The minecraft-like game made with that engine is called Mineclone2.
deleted by creator
Minetest.
Minetest running Mineclone2 specifically for meee
Edit: mineclone2
There’s minetest, but don’t expect compatibility with Minecraft servers.
What decisions? Legit question, it’s been a while since I last played.
Forcing migration to Microsoft account and the deleting Mojang accounts, forcing chat reporting in all servers along Mojang’s rules, even servers not hosted by Mojang, banning ‘mature’ themed servers - and more
How does chst reporting work if Microsoft isnt running the server?
It’s done both on the server and client side, using signatures and block chain, something like that. There’s videos you’ll find online that explain it much better than my 2c would, and I’d imagine wiki.vg would have it documented in detail if it’s still maintained.
That Chat Filter, EULA changes etc.
Any mod (packs)?
Nope, not for now but in the faaaaar future possibly
Thanks. Not the answer I was hoping for, but I appreciate the response.
Really a missed opportunity to not run and promote a Minetest server (with Mineclone2 or similar).
🤡
LOL how did a clown emoji user get approved 🤣 that’s new
You are absolutely right. I don’t even have a microsoft account so good luck with playing minecraft…
So a Microsoft amount is free, yeah…?
Yeah I’d better not pay with my data. No seriously, why do I need to have a microsoft account to join a random server? I prefer Minetest’s approach where you have a separate login per server. Yes it may be a bit more arduous but in the end I dont play on more than 4 servers max.
Been quite busy with work recently, hopefully I remember this server in a weeks time
Now we just need a Veloren server 🤔
Or a Minetest server.
Oh that’s pretty nice.
