    But can you join Minecraft servers with minetest? The community aspect is pretty important for lots of players.

          It’s a different game so if they ran that instead of Minecraft you would avoid the Micro$oft issues

          As a player you could suggest the migration and see how people react

            Oh that’s a totally different take then. Nobody is going to suggest to a MC community to uproot, install a new game and transplant there. That’s not a thing that ever goes well. Plus, it’s not about one community in particular, it’s about this whole ecosystem of independently owned and sometimes interconnected minecraft servers. As i said the social culture is very present in the way many people enjoy the game.

            Now if there was a mod for minetest that could spoof the MC protocol (it is openly documented on the internet) and allow me to join a MC server, i would definitely do it, especially if minetest is more lightweight / hackable.
