Oh, worth mentioning, if anyone is interested in playing, someone spooled up a server for Beehaw. https://beehaw.org/post/21062542
Too old what do those words mean
Luanti is an open source game/platform for voxel games like Minecraft. VoxeLibre is an extension that makes Luanti play almost exactly like Minecraft.
OK, so your providing an OS alt. For playing minecraft. You should post a link.
It's in the OP
Yup. A slight correction on the OP's suggestion. Since the person replying to me didn't notice, that explains their confusion to my post, which certainly would have seemed abstract.
Yeah @beejboytyson@lemmy.world is confused haha.
I understood you were just correcting the OP and not recommending anything.
I don't think you understand Roblox if you recommend Minecraft as a substitute. Roblox isn't a Minecraft clone. It's a platform like Steam. There are thousands of different games.
i tell people that roblox is a kid friendly garys mod clone
Kid friendly, except the predatory parts.
Friendlier* lol
ooh yea in fact the people behind gary's mod is making s&box which is closer to be a roblox alternative
Nothing stopping kids from making games within Minecraft
Same reason goes for open source alternatives developed by the community
So there's a Blender like CAD environment tied to a scripting language for those open source Minecraft clones that let you pick and place assets from a menu and then add code?
Every Roblox install installs this development tool. It's ridiculous to compare it to the java programming needed to make a Minecraft mod.
And when you are done you hit "publish" and it uploads it to their servers ready for everyone to play.
MCreator and several other WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) style editors exist for Minecraft, yes. There are even educational versions of Minecraft that teach programming beyond using simple WYSIWYG tools, geared toward young children, officially made by MS.
MCreator is amazing but it still Minecraft. You can create your own items that are crafted with your own recipe or paint a mob to look like soemthing else. Again anyone suggesting Minecraft doesn't understand that Roblox isn't a Minecraft clone. It makes no sense to compare a single game to a platform. "Don't play Nintendo, play Minecraft." ???
It's like suggesting that kids shouldn't play Steam games because there's Minecraft and they can make their own modded Minecraft.
Here are some Roblox Games:
It's a mod for minecraft that gives you easy to use modding tools inside Minecraft, the way Roblox's tools work inside of Roblox. "It's still Minecraft" like the things made in Roblox aren't still Roblox? 🤨
A platform isn't a game. Minecraft is one game. Steam hosts many games. Nintendo hosts many games. There are Minecraft clones as games on the Roblox platform.
Recommending Minecraft as a substitute for Roblox is the same as recommending Minecraft as a replacement for Nintendo.
I don't think you understand the full breadth and width of what modding is and can accomplish or what a platform actually is. Roblox is a single game as much as Minecraft is. Both can be used to make something entirely different than the original by modding it. Most games with mod tools or openly available source code can.
I've never seen a Minecraft mod that didn't look like Minecraft. There are all sorts of rendering mods, game play changes, but its still Minecraft.
Do you really not understand the difference between Nintendo and Minecraft? You've never played any game other than Minecraft ever because you can mod Minecraft?
come on.
I've never seen a Minecraft mod that didn't look like Minecraft.
Have you really looked? There are plenty of mods that change the game to be completely unrecognizable as a mod for Minecraft both in how they play and how they look.
Do you really not understand the difference between Nintendo and Minecraft?
I am confident that you do not understand the difference if you think Roblox is like Nintendo. 🤦♂️
There are plenty of mods that change the game to be completely unrecognizable as a mod for Minecraft both in how they play and how they look.
Show me one. I posted several pictures above. Show me a Minecraft mod that is unrecognizable as Minecraft.
if you think Roblox is like Nintendo.
You have a platform confused with a game.
Here's another screen shot of a roblox game:
Minecraft must have a Sonic port that doesn't look like Minecraft. Right??? Because there is Sonic in Minecraft but it still looks like Minecraft. Show me one that doesn't look like Minecraft.
I asked if you play anything other than Minecraft. Because according to you Minecraft can be any game.
There is even a server that allows you to "code" your own minigames using blocks
Its called mcdiamondfire.com
I played Roblox with my kids as I was worried about this. They wanted to hang out with their school friends in Roblox and I was worried about the whole pedo thing so I joined them to monitor what was going on. It was actually really good fun. We played on and off for several years. Didn't come across any pedos.
My kids go on Roblox with their friends to find and report pedos
That's just good wholesome fun.
