I’ve been trying to play Minecraft with different launchers but they all ask me to login with a Microsoft account. I don’t wanna install TLauncher but I can’t find a free option. ¿Do you know how I can do it?

    I agree that none of the games in Minetest have anywhere near the level of polish as Minecraft. And as we’re comparing a pretty niche game engine built on by hobbyists vs Microsoft, it’s very much to be expected. I also agree it shouldn’t be recommended as a Minecraft alternative.

    But the from the first half of your post I think you misunderstand the point of Minetest. Its not meant to have an overarching game design. It’s a game engine. Its designed for people to use to make their own games.

      I’m aware that it is just an engine. And the point still stands - OP is asking how to play a specific game in Linux (Minecraft), and gets a reply like “play that engine instead” (Minetest). The reply does not specify which game (Minetest modpack) the replier sees as an alternative, nor addresses the fact that even the closest equivalents (probably MineClone2) are considerably inferior to the game OP is talking about, and thus not really a good alternative.

      Please, note that I’m not singling out the person who suggested Minetest - I’ve seen other posters across other platforms doing the same. Frankly it feels like the people recommending Minetest as an alternative to Minecraft never bothered playing either for more than fifteen minutes.
