Minecraft is a clone and evolution of Infiniminer.

  Notch has stated that he originally wanted a game like Dwarf Fortress in tone before he stumbled upon Infiniminer[1]. I think you are right in that it's more correct to say Minecraft is a clone and evolution of Infiniminer, but was heavily inspired by Dwarf Fortress.

    Oh definitely. I didn't really mean to say it wasn't, even if it sounded a bit like it.
