I don’t get it. I got Minecraft when it was still beta, then played it with friends and fam when aether mods were a thing, that was like 6 to 8 years ago? What has changed about Minecraft that Libre is something that needs to exist?
I mean, the bulk of the work on this happens for the fun of it. The underlying game engine, Luanti, has a really lovely community. Some folks love creating mods/content, others love playing that content.
If you really want a hard reason, it’s that Microsoft bought Minecraft and has forced changes, such as a Microsoft account being a requirement now.
Microsoft has a long history of being extremely hostile to the open-source / libre software community, so after the news broke the community definitely bundled together even moreso to create our own Minecraft, withblackjack and hookersscrewdrivers and mese.
Vintage story is pretty cool too, if you’re looking for a longer advancement ramp
Fair warning though: Vintage Story is vveeeeeerrrryyyyyy slow paced and involved. Making a pickaxe for ex requires you to find copper nuggets scattered on the floor, making a mold, heating the copper in a crucible, casting it, then waiting for it to cool.
Yep. The long advancement ramp should be seen as the enjoyable point of the play, not a speed bump. If you aren’t built that way, it won’t be fun
