Minetest

Genre: Sandbox · Platforms: Linux, MacOSX, Windows · License: Free/Open Source

Minetest is one of the first InfiniMiner/Minecraft(/whatever) inspired games (started October 2010), with a goal of taking the survival multiplayer gameplay to a slightly different direction.

This game is still under development, and as of now, the game does not really differ from Minecraft except for having a lot less features. Still, playing is quite fun already, especially for people who have not been able to experience Minecraft.

Features:

• Survival mode with inventory and crafting. This mode is being currently developed.
• Creative mode with infinite blocks at your disposal. This is a by-product of making the actual game and not the actual focus of development.
• Multiplayer support for many players
• Awesome dynamic lighting (quite similar to Minecraft)
• Almost infinite world, limited to 31000 blocks in all directions at the moment. (Minecraft Alpha has a height restriction of 128 blocks)
• Infinite map generator
• Runs natively on Windows, Linux and OS X (C++ and Irrlicht. No Java.)

Still under development:

• Quite limited range of craftable items
• Mobs suck
• No sounds
• ...And probably many more. It's basically at the state at which Minecraft was in the early Infdev days.
