Hi folks, I'm thinking of streaming or making videos about Mineclone since I like it a lot. But I'm unsure if the textures I use will get me in hot water. I am helping with a Minecraft-like texture pack (NS-Textures) and using that normally since I dont like changes in visuals. I own Minecraft but mojang probably wont like if i stream (on twitch, youtube, peertube or whatever) or make videos with them. Anyone got takedowns or other experience with this? Legal perspective would be best but no illusion that a random lawyer is in this community.

Bonus Questions: How much would I have to alter the textures to be safe and would making them high res instead of minecrafts low res any difference?

Thanks for reading and have a great day! :)

Hi there! I‘m Haui and I recently discovered mineclone for me.

I‘ve been an og minecraft player since 2009 and a content creator on youtube and recently peertube.

I didnt like the direction Mojang and Microsoft are taking Minecraft so I voted with my feet and started to play through mineclone2. Its a little rough at the edges at times but I think it has great potential.

So much so that I started helping with the NS textures texture pack. I‘m also planning to look into modding to help out with intgrating more of the stuff I liked in MC.

Feel free to let me know if you would enjoy a lets play series on mineclone or streams.

Maybe I've just missed the info I'm looking for, but is there an option to have MineClone2 run above 60fps?

Editing for possibly relevant info:
I'm playing using the community-built Minetest Flatpak on EndevourOS xfce, with an Nvidia card running the proprietary driver.

My monitor runs at 60Hz, so vsync being applied through something outside of the game itself could very well be it, after all.

A slightly delayed update, but MineClone2 had a big release recently! :)

It looks nice to see minecraft biomes with different map generators, but a lot of stuff is sadly missing still.

A huge generated multi-level dungeon in MineClone2 with a huge cave cutting through it. An amethystgeode was generated right next to it with two spawner rooms. The amethystgeode is cut open by the cave. One overlaps with the amethystgeode itself, which means they both cut through each other. The other one is directly below them. There is another big dungeon visible in the radar map not far from the current one.

This links to a pixelfed gallery with 9 screenshots. So it’s also a bit a test how good lemmy and pixelfed work together.

Village on a cliff with overhang. Massive pillars generated below the houses.

Did somebody get Everness working with MineClone2?

I only get

ModError: Failed to load and run script from ~/.minetest/mods/everness/init.lua:
...test/games/mineclone2/mods/ITEMS/mcl_doors/api_doors.lua:197: attempt to call method 'match' (a nil value)

Did it break with 0.83.1 or 0.84?

Shout out to the guys who did the awesome Minecraft art (not us). It was only appropriate as a FOSS Minecraft clone, to join as neighbours :).

I found this video series for a MineClone2 Let's play. Enjoyed it and there is some funny lines in there!
