So, fuck Microsoft. How are you guys playing Mc with friends? Id like to load up my old (7 ish years) world again and play like the good times before ms ruined it all.

Am I stuck with mineclone?

Have you been keeping tabs on the mineclone projects these past few years? Mineclonia and voxelibre are both excellent Foss alternatives. Most people would struggle to be able to identify MCLA with a MC texture pack as any different from real deal.

I havr them all!! Trouble is convincing others haha

We would also like to play some of our old maps, i am guessing we could convert them?

Yes theres absolutely tools to convert mc worlds to minetest/luanti worlds. using these tools probably requires some willingness to run terminal based shell commands though.

This post motivated me to check in on minetest and its various games. I fired up a mineclonia world. First time I've played a minecraft-like game in some years, and I'm happy to report that it's quite good, especially with controls mapped to my steam controller.

I think I might even start hosting a persistent server.

Also, fuck Microsoft. I had tried to transfer my Mojang account back in the day only to be met with various obscure errors. Never managed to get it to work.
