From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It isn't that Minetest is good. It is that Minecraft as enshitified

Maybe Bedrock Edition. I've had zero problems with the Java version. Then again, I play alone. Lol.

Idk I run my own PO3 server on Java and everything but the launcher is fine. I'm sure Bedrock is completely molested though.

But don't you need an account?

If you run your own server it's as simple as setting

Online-Mode: false

And installing an account management plugin if you open it to other players (so people can't just easily change names and impersonate someone)

I exclusively played on and ran cracked servers for 6 years (2011-2017), shit rules

I completely get where people are coming from with that opinion, but I've been playing MC for almost 15 years, and I'm having just as much if not more fun with the game now as I did at any other point in its development.

Minetest is super cool and can be very fun. I play a bit on it as well, but exclusively advertising for it on the platform of hur dur mineshit sucks, which isn't necessarily what you're doing, I just see that a lot, definitely isn't the best way to go.

Probably not but I hate that Minecraft us so complicated now. I have the old version

Yes, it's certainly changed for the worse since I've played it. I quit fairly soon after they announced that I would need to eventually migrate to a Microsoft account. Seeing some of the things they've done since then doesn't make me miss it!
