So i used to play standard minecraft many years ago when i was a kid but then i got very burnt out and havent played it sense. Minecraft has a bigger community/mods than minetest, but minetest is a neat little lua project. How do i decide? what would you suggest?
You can try both, see what you like.
I still like Minecraft Java more than Luanti.
My main grip with Luanti is world size. You can totally get to the world end in a few hours. I like the infinity of Minecraft.
Isn’t Luanti’s world height way bigger, though? ~62K vs MC’s ~400 are the numbers I see.
I mean I get that’s a different thing, but aside from exploration it determines build height. Also to me it’s a more visible limit, because falling made it obvious how short MC’s maps were.
Yes. But world exploration tend to happen on horizontal.
Also additional height is often used as a way to store alternative dimensions (like nether or end). As there’s is not another built in way to do so.
Anyway it would me nice to have the horizontal extension. But at this point is not a planned feature and it would break a lot of things, so it’s not something that Luanti would likely ever have.
This somehow caught me off guard. How is a world where you have to walk many hours from point A to point B is too small for you? Can you even realistically explore it all?
Of course. I’ve explored bigger extensions of terrain in Minecraft.
Other example, a server like 2b2t would be impossible in Luanti. Or any big multiplayer server.
