Open source free minecraft

[Imperator Ferrum Princeps I 66]

I have been playing a game called minetest for some time now, it is similar to minecraft but open source and free.

It is also moddable in luascript and has texturepack support, the game even has it's own servers, it also has a much taller height limit then MC.

Just wanted to let anyone browsing this forum about minetest before they dish out all that money on minecraft, as minetest is a viable alternative to minecraft unlike some of the lower quality clones out there.

Had it been the first post of the account and/or been for something commercial. When it's by someone who has posted relevant non-advertisement posts previously, and for something free (and open source), it's certainly not a problem.

No the individual deleted the post, I am not referring to the minetest post, someone named downloadapps encouraged other users to visit their site. I am referring to this user @downloadapps

(Thanks to the one who flagged downloadapps as a spammer.)

Ah, yeah, it would have helped if you had been more specific, but that does indeed qualify  For the same reasons I mentioned in the reply above  (I usually just read the forums via the View New Posts list, and since I had already taken care of the spammer via the reports - if you feel like something is violating the rules that is a good system to use as it notifies us immediately - I was taken directly to your post so I assumed that you meant the entire topic. In general, I would recommend just using the report system for posts though, spammy topics usually stand out enough to get noticed immediately anyway.)

Okay thanks, I will do so in the future!

I haven't tried this game yet but will get to it as soon as I get hold of my PC. Looks good and interesting that too for a free game.
