    Thoughts about open source Minecraft alternatives?

    Hey, not exactly open source, but Medieval Engineers has great modding capabilities and it well written. Id love to see at least a couple of the bigger mods make a mod for this game, it has such a great atmosphere and so much potential depending on what the community can put in.

    [1.7.10] RusticCraft

    i think not having an objective in this particular pack is good, but hqm could be set up more like an optional tutorial for some of the less intuitive mods that finishes up after it gives you a basic idea of what to do.

    60% of top threads are now spam.

    my favourite captcha is the one that only spambots see, its hidden in the code so humans dont see it but the bots fall for it every time. also, a lot of the spam threads have the same url at the end, surely that can be picked up on

    Thoughts about open source Minecraft alternatives?

    Honestly this is what i feel, minecraft was never planned or optimized to be able to properly handle all of its mods, and people stuck with it because there were so any mods and it was so well documented. it would be fantastic to have a fresh, stable, optimized engine and a strong incentive for...
