    At first I thought ehh, another Minecraft clone, but the more I watched the video the more this seems kinda awesome.

    Procedurally crafted tools, no restrictions on build height, a massive view distance are all very cool. It has the same problem all Minecraft clones have though… It tries too hard to be Minecraft. The textures and UI are almost 1:1 that at first glance I could swear it’s Minecraft. I hope it becomes its own thing as it gets developed more.

      Procedurally crafted tools, no restrictions on build height, a massive view distance are all very cool.

      I’ll note that the well-established Luanti (formerly Minetest) has no restrictions on build height[1], but I have always wished I could get a longer view distance. And I’ve never seen procedurally crafted tools, but Luanti has extensive mod support, so I wonder if it would be possible.

      [1] Okay, technically it’s restricted, but the limit is something like a 64 km about a 62 km cubic space, which is much more than I could reach.
