@mia @lucy its very bug and clunky and even with tons of mods it doesnt have the depth of beta minecraft
but it can be fun sure

@xXpaulaXx @lucy i’ve been playing that for a long while with lexi. she has a very ambitios mod project (sorcery) for it too, but it’s unfinished

@xXpaulaXx @lucy she’s also contributed a few things to minetest upstream (new particle animation system and stuff)

@mia @lucy if i were to do a minetest server id for sure make my own mods for it
i recently reopened a mc server i had, one of the main reasons was i wanted to make plugins for fun stuff
but it was too hard and basically impossible because of the way mc plugins works

@mia @lucy id also need to mod some other stuff
- the jump feels super clunky, i dont know if its the gravity or jump height but it feels awful comparted to mc
- the inventory suuucks, i'd probably want to completely rewrite it if i could

@xXpaulaXx @lucy yeah the GUI and inventory systems are super bad in minetest and need a major rework. lexi has infodumped about that so much…

@xXpaulaXx @lucy the thing with minetest mods is that due to how the API “works”, it’s all very wild west. there literally is no namespacing for instance. everything can conflict and break random stuff

@xXpaulaXx @lucy lexi also said contributing was a pain. encountered a lot of resistance with everything

https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/11545#issuecomment-1185586885 this is basically the only time she got really positive feedback
