www.minecraftforum.net

When a developer leaks its own game a few days early, we think that should just be called a release. But hey, what do we know?

1230238 2011-09-12 23:57:00 What about the clone version, Minetest c55 ? :lol:

Doesn't use Java so it's a lot faster

1230239 2011-09-13 00:39:00 Oh wow no java! I like the sounds of the c55 clone already :D

Will grab it tonight and give it a whirl. That's the worst about minecraft is the insane memory requirements. For a 'basic' game, the system resources it consumes is insane!

1230240 2011-09-13 00:50:00 Yeah the only problem is it's pretty early\buggy - there's a package for Ubuntu and OSX but for Windows looks like you have to compile it yourself.

The testing version is called Minetest delta and it probably crashes even more.

Still, the performance is certainly a lot better, it uses a proper 3D rendering system (Irrlicht 3D)


Best of all, it's free!

Clearly I cannot read.

There IS a compiled Win32 executable at the top of the download page....
