NOTE: All in-game screenshots in this article (next page) are Mineclone2. NOT Minecraft.
Several issues ago, I took a look at a free game called Minetest. It’s based on the ever popular Minecraft. It’s the same basic (blocky) look, but it lacks the gameplay where you’re running from creepers, zombies, et al. Well, Minetest now has an add-on called Mineclone2 which will make Minetest just like Minecraft complete with creepers and the like.
Installation
First, you need to install Minetest. This can be done either by downloading it from the Minetest site (https://www.minetest.net) and installing it, or, better still, use your distributions package manager.
Now that you have Minetest installed, you need to install Mineclone2. Download the latest version (0.39.0 - for Minetest 0.4.16 as I write this) from: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=16407.
The download is a ZIP file. Open this either by double-clicking it, or using a right-click and choose ‘open with archive manager’. Whichever your desktop uses.
Now, in your file manager, look in your /home directory for a folder called .minetest. This will probably be hidden and will need you to show hidden files. In Ubuntu this is done using the window menu (top right), then choosing ‘show hidden files’.
Now that you’re in the .minetest folder, create a folder called ‘games’. Go in to the .minetest/games folder.
Drag the Mineclone2 folder from the archive manager into that .minetest/games folder.
That’s it! Mineclone2 is now added to your Minetest.
Running
Now, as normal, start Minetest.
The trick to getting Mineclone2 is to click the two little ‘dirt’ blocks at the bottom left of the shaded area.
That will tell Minetest to use the Mineclone2 add-on.
New Game
Starting a game in Mineclone2 is just the same as in Minetest. You choose ‘New’. Give the world a name and a unique seed. I use Mapgen v7 as I find the worlds are more unusual looking. Oh, and make sure that Mineclone2 is selected before you click ‘Create’.
Now, choose your game and click ‘Play Game’.

I think you’ll agree that the developer of Mineclone2 has done a fantastic job of making Minetest look like Minecraft. Yes, there are things that aren’t in Mineclone2 yet, but it’s a one-man operation, and it seems to be a case of the dev continually adding and tweaking existing add-ons to get it just right.
All the basic stuff is there; digging, crafting, animals, enemies, and repeatedly dying.
Just watch out for the Creepers. They’re even more lethal here than in Minecraft!
