I was looking for alternatives of MC that are atleast usable, and found a thing called Minetest. This apparently is a Voxel Engine/Scriptable game, where you create games, that consist of mods/modules and other resources.
The cool part of it is, that mods and games etc. get handled by the game itself in a package manager type fashion, so the only thing you as a user have to do is selecting them in the ui, and putting them into your world.
It's this easy because the content is managed by a content database. This engine is built with multiplayer support by default.

Now comes the interesting part: apparently a few devs sat together and made a whole MC clone in this engine, and have called it Mineclone 2. I was testing it recently on a server and have to say, that it doesn't appear to be some low effort clone, but to my surprise is an actual playable and nicely looking game. So far i'm having fun with playing and even modding it.

Since the core is written in C++ and the mods and games content is written in LUA, you can easily writte new stuff for it, and even look at other mods stuff, to find out how to make it compatible or how to do certain things. The licenses usually allows to reuse and redistribute.

If you're looking for something like that, give Minetest + Mineclone2 a spin.

    Did you try 7 Days to Die?

    It is a zombie survival game - but in a voxel world. It is in early access since the dawn of time (but it is well playable since years). It is somewhat modable but paid closed source though.

    Embarking on a quest to bring the magic of arcades into my home, I encountered a website multi game arcade machine https://pandoraplatinum.com/multi-g... that exceeded all expectations. This virtual emporium of gaming treasures provided an extensive range of multi-game arcade machines, complete with authentic joysticks, buttons, and an impressive library of games. It was a game-changer for any arcade enthusiast seeking the thrill of nostalgia and the joy of discovering new gaming gems.

    Looking for Minesweeper websites that offer both traditional and modern versions of the game. Which sites provide the best mix of classic gameplay and innovative features?

    I've discovered a few of websites that do an excellent work of fusing old gameplay with brand-new features if you're seeking for somewhere to play both Minesweeper original and enhanced. A personal favorite of mine is https://www.1000mines.com/. Its creators, who obviously have a fondness for vintage games, have produced a few free-to-play contemporary adaptations. They incorporate some intriguing tweaks without sacrificing the vintage vibe. Minesweeper Online is another exceptional choice. It's really simple, ad-free, and allows you to choose the board size, which is something I truly value.
