Anyone got a summary? I really wish people would stop posting links to videos without providing a synopsis.

TLDR: The creator prefers minetest to minecraft.

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks, friend! Also, are you saying the creator of Minecraft, the creator of Minetest, or the creator of the video?

Curse you, syntactic ambiguity!!! xD

Notes while I'm watching:

  1. The "vibe" is different - in my head I translated this to "he likes the GUI more"
  2. Minetest has zero "story" / progression (so no Ender Dragon to gear up for & fight) - it's purely a sandbox experience.
  3. better performance, apparently runs on potato laptops pretty well
  4. Mods are built-in, and don't require tools like Forge or whatever to tweak a jar file ⬅️ THIS is cool!
  5. Customization via the Settings menu

The "built-in support for mods" caught my eye. That's pretty slick, and a headache with MC.

tl;dr - it runs on just about everything, and focuses on giving the player an easy-to-mod "sandbox" to play in.

All the mods are written with Lua and run in a sandbox afaik so it isn't really the same as Minecraft mods
