|
||
|
||
An unofficial Minecraft-like game for Luanti (formerly Minetest). Fork of MineClone 2 with focus
|
||
on stability, multiplayer performance and features. For information about
|
||
migrating from MineClone 2 to Mineclonia, see [MIGRATING.md](../../../src/branch/main/MIGRATING.md).
|
||
|
||
Version: 0.109.1
|
||
|
||

||
### Gameplay
|
||
You start in a randomly-generated world made entirely of cubes. You can explore
|
||
the world and dig and build almost every block in the world to create new
|
||
structures. You can choose to play in a “survival mode” in which you have to
|
||
fight monsters and hunger for survival and slowly progress through the various
|
||
other aspects of the game, such as mining, farming, building machines, and so on
|
||
Or you can play in “creative mode” in which you can build almost anything
|
||
instantly.
|
||
|
||
#### Gameplay summary
|
||
* Sandbox-style gameplay, no goals
|
||
* Survive: Fight against hostile monsters and hunger
|
||
* Mine for ores and other treasures
|
||
* Magic: Gain experience and enchant your tools
|
||
* Use the collected blocks to create great buildings, your imagination is the
|
||
limit
|
||
* Collect flowers (and other dye sources) and colorize your world
|
||
* Find some seeds and start farming
|
||
* Find or craft one of hundreds of items
|
||
* Build a railway system and have fun with minecarts
|
||
* Build complex machines with redstone circuits
|
||
* In creative mode you can build almost anything for free and without limits
|
||
|
||
## How to play (quick start)
|
||
### Getting started
|
||
* **Punch a tree** trunk until it breaks and collect wood
|
||
* Place the **wood into the 2×2 grid** (your “crafting grid” in your inventory
|
||
menu) and craft 4 wood planks
|
||
* Place the 4 wood planks in a 2×2 shape in the crafting grid to **make a
|
||
crafting table**
|
||
* **Rightclick the crafting table** for a 3×3 crafting grid to craft more
|
||
complex things
|
||
* Use the **crafting guide** (book icon) to learn all the possible crafting
|
||
recipes
|
||
* **Craft a wooden pickaxe** so you can dig stone
|
||
* Different tools break different kinds of blocks. Try them out!
|
||
* Continue playing as you wish. Have fun!
|
||
|
||
### Farming
|
||
* Find seeds
|
||
* Craft a hoe
|
||
* Rightclick dirt or a similar block with a hoe to create farmland
|
||
* Place seeds on farmland and watch them grow
|
||
* Collect plants when fully grown
|
||
* If near water, farmland becomes wet and speeds up growth
|
||
|
||
### Furnace
|
||
* Craft a furnace
|
||
* The furnace allows you to obtain more items
|
||
* Upper slot must contain a smeltable item (example: iron ore)
|
||
* Lower slot must contain a fuel item (example: coal)
|
||
* See tooltips in crafting guide to learn about fuels and smeltable items
|
||
|
||
### Additional help
|
||
More help about the gameplay, blocks items and much more can be found from
|
||
inside the game. You can access the help from your inventory menu.
|
||
|
||
### Special items
|
||
The following items are interesting for Creative Mode and for adventure
|
||
map builders. They can not be obtained in-game or in the creative inventory.
|
||
|
||
* Barrier: `mcl_core:barrier`
|
||
|
||
Use the `/giveme` chat command to obtain them. See the in-game help for
|
||
an explanation.
|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
This game requires [Luanti](http://minetest.net) to run (version 5.6 or
|
||
later). So you need to install Luanti first. Only stable versions of Luanti
|
||
are officially supported. There is no support for running Mineclonia in
|
||
development versions of Luanti.
|
||
|
||
To install Mineclonia (if you haven't already), move this directory into the
|
||
“games” directory of your Luanti data directory. Consult the help of
|
||
Luanti to learn more.

## Project description
|
||
The main goal of **Mineclonia** is to be a stable and performant clone of
|
||
Minecraft released as free software.
|
||
|
||
* Minecraft is aimed to be cloned as well as Luanti currently permits without
|
||
resorting to hacks which are too heavyweight or complicated to maintain
|
||
* Cloning the gameplay has highest priority
|
||
* Cloning the interface has low priority. It will only be roughly imitated
|
||
* Mineclonia will use different graphics and sounds, but with a similar style
|
||
|
||
## Completion status

This game is currently in **beta** stage.
|

||
replacements until we can get large structures working:

|
||
* Different sounds (various sources)
|
||
* Different engine (Luanti)
|

|
||
|
||
… and finally, Mineclonia is free software (“free” as in “freedom”)!
