== [[Minetest]] ==
The main difference are the goals. While Minecraft is a proprietary sandbox/survival game, Minetest is a free software '''game engine''' which supports various voxel games in the likes of Minecraft, InfiniMiner, etc. See [[Games]] for more about this. It also allows '''[[Mods|modding]]''' at its core.

Other differences of Minetest compared to Minecraft:

* Designed for low-end hardware
* Native [[Mods|modding]] support with the Lua programming language
* Mods work server-side, you can join any random server and it will work out of the box, no matter what amount of crazy mods the server is using
* Supports protection systems (to protect your buildings from griefers)
* World size is ca. 60000 blocks in all 3 dimensions
* More [[Map generator|map generators]]
* [[Crafting]] recipes are not automatically mirrored
* [[Smelting]] time of items may differ on a per-item basis
* No dual wielding
* A rather small base set of [[Server commands|server commands]]
* A sophisticated system of [[privileges]]
* Simpler [[Liquid|liquid]] physics
* Built-in [[minimap]] and radar (press <kbd>F9</kbd> to view, <kbd>Shift + F9</kbd> to cycle between a square and round shape)

See also [[Minetest]].

=== Gotchas ===
* No game modes. Everything is configured with settings
* [[Creative Mode]] does not disable damage. Creative Mode and damage are two different settings, so damage must be disabled separately
* Creative Mode does not enable flying. To fly, you must have the “fly” privilege and press the “fly” key (see also: [[Controls#Movement modes]])
* Liquids in general do not protect you from fall damage if you still hit the floor

== [[Games/Minetest Game|Minetest Game]] ==
Note: Minetest Game does ''not'' want to be an exact clone of Minecraft, but it is still influenced by it. Minetest Game is more meant as a “modding base”, and intentionally doesn't have much gameplay. If you expect a faithful Minecraft clone, you will be very disappointed by Minetest Game - but remember that Minetest Game is only one of many games for Minetest.

If you're looking for a more faithful Minecraft clone, try [[Games/MineClone 2|MineClone 2]].

=== Major gameplay concepts ===
* Different [[blocks]], [[items]], trees, biomes, etc. (obviously)
* No [[mobs]]
* No redstone or redstone-like mechanisms (but there's [http://mesecons.net/ Mesecons])
* No enchanting, experience, hunger, status effects, potions, armor or brewing
* Eating food heals instantly
* No “dimensions” or portals
* Maximum build height of ca. 30000
* Can dig as low as ca. 30000 blocks

=== Gotchas ===
* When a player dies, [[Bones]] are created and all items are stored inside
* [[Torch]]es ''can'' be attached to the ceiling
* The top row, not the bottom row in your inventory represents the [[hotbar]]
* Dropped [[Item stack|item stacks]] must be [[Punching|punched]] to be collected, the player is not a magnet ;-)
* When [[Mining|mining]], items directly go into the player's inventory, unless the inventory is full
* [[Hoe]]s can be used on [[Desert Sand]]
* [[Wheat (plant)|Wheat]] and [[Cotton (plant)|Cotton]] don't grow at all when the soil is dry (→[[Soil]], [[Desert Sand Soil]])
* Some tools or items are used on left click instead of right click (for example: [[Bread]])

=== Crafting and smelting ===
* The '''crafting grid acts like an inventory'''; the items don't drop when you close your inventory
* '''No crafting table'''
* Players have a '''3×3 crafting grid''' in their inventory at all times
* The furnace has 4 output slots instead of 1
* Very different burning and smelting times, see [[Smelting]]

=== Blocks ===
* [[Water]] and [[Lava]] have a flowing distance of 8 blocks
* Some blocks can be owned by players: [[Locked Chest]], [[Steel Door]], [[Steel Trapdoor]]; with [[Skeleton Key]]s player can share access.
* [[Rail|Rails]] can have T-junctions and crossings

=== Inventory ===
* Players have 32 inventory slots
* [[Chest]]s have 32 inventory slots
* The item stack size is 99 for most items and 1 for tools
