How is mine test these days? I haven’t tried it since I was in a kid and couldn’t afford Minecraft
- With the current fork of Mineclone 2 it’s identical to Minecraft (Mineclonia).
  
  Considering what M$ has done to Minecraft, that's immensely AWESOME to know! I really need to put some time into Minetest / mineclonia...
  
  Oh cool, can you link to the github repo? Because I am not sure which fork we are talking about :P
  
  I'm also confused, in the mod browser I see Mineclonia and Mineclone2 but no Mineclonia2. Which is better?
- I'm probably the only person in the world who hasn't played Minecraft.
  
  We have a family Minetest server runnning Asuna since Summer 2023. Usually based around just crafting different things. Even for a few months we just put on creative mode and built two huge cities about 8,000 blocks apart and sky train connecting them, and then a third underground cave city about 2,000 blocks away.
  
  We've had major upgrades of both Asuna and Minetest within the past few weeks so it's pretty exciting.
- Very good for certain games. Try VoxeLibre. Its a Minecraft clone turned fork with some differences. A lot of fun though.
I just fired it up on an N4000 potato, the whole thing is amazing!
Does minetest have factory mods like industrial craft and thermal expansion?
- The traditional one is Technic, but there is also a newish one Techage. Technic has many more compatible extension mods due to it's age.
are Minecraft mods compatible?
