I suspect you don't have kids? Either way that is a hilarious recommendation, for a number of reasons.
If my kids asked to play Minecraft and I installed that game, it would be a bit like them asking for pancakes and serving them bran flakes and a grapefruit.
They're not even remotely similar games, and have wildly different levels of appropriateness for children -- though that obviously depends on parental preference.
In any case, there's not even a slight their friends are playing it, and that is probably the most important factor for most kids.
- rpdillon 3y agoFWIW, my 5th grader read this comment and got actively agitated at the comparison. He adores Minetest and wanted to convey that he "has a great community to play with". Of course YMMV, but I thought his take was worth mentioning.
- jahsome 3y agoJust in case my comment wasn't clear: I think Minetest -> Minecraft is at least a fair comparison, even if there are some glaring omissions in Minetest. My bran flakes -> pancakes statement wasn't referring to Minetest. I was referring to the Age of Empires clone the parent comment recommended instead of Minetest. P.S. Kudos to the young one for being open minded and independent about alternatives in the face of heavily-marketed-and-heavily-peer-used things! I can tell they're already wise beyond their years =)
