I think it’s f to go forward one page, b for back. Down arrow goes down a line etc.

How can you feel good about yourself if you aren’t shaming people with less technical capabilities? Next you’ll say something crazy like believing in yourself. Nonsense, crazy person. Get out of here.

You’ve nailed this here, yet get downvotes. The amount of times I’ve gone to a man page and my eyes glaze over. Really handy to learn new flags or if you forget, but as an introductory material. They don’t work for everyone. People learn in different ways, sometimes by doing and my brain isn’t wired this way.

VoxeLibre has intended to not be Minecraft clone for a long time now. There has been burgers in the base game for 17 months now. Unfortunately, every time someone tries to do something different, they get a hostile reception. The name is a liability, and not representative of what the project plans to be. The name change is about where the game plans to be, not where it was in the past. MineClone2 is a dreadful name. It’s like calling it rubbish MC rip-off 2.

Very aware about Gitea, and unfortunately when we tried to migrate to Forgejo on Codeberg, the migration script got stuck in a repeating loop. Apparently it’s a known issue and we got very little help with this so unless we abandon all our issues including 850+ open ones, we’re in a bit of a pickle.

The new name followed those rules.It’s voxel and libre, sharing an L. Only debate is about how people pronounce Libre, and we ain’t that precious.

I would love everyone to use Matrix. I created the space and maintained it. We are now up to around 45 users ish. Discord has over 500. In gaming, it just operates at a different scale.

I’m as much of a FOSS enthusiast as you, but when you run big projects, you have to represent more than just your own personal view. You represent your players and contributors. Now and in the future. If you want new FOSS users, you have to reach them where they are. Best way to further FOSS software is to get new people using it. With over 350k downloads. I think we’re doing a pretty neat job.

It’s tempting to think your views are right and everyone else is wrong, but it’s no basis to be functional and collaborative. Are you running any large FOSS communities? Want to share info on how you’ve done these things and how effective it was?

You seem to not like the name or the things we do. Maybe tell us more about what you like…

We had the poll on Matrix also which is FOSS, and our issue tracker built on Gitea. The minetest forums are notoriously sluggish and many there don’t play VoxeLibre. We reached out to players in all areas. The fact remains that 80%+ of our players choose discord and ignoring them is not a helpful. A lot of people do not check the forum frequently, and that policy would be exclusionary and unjustifiably dogmatic.

We make extra efforts to reach out to our members in FOSS communities and do more than most to keep away from non-free software like Github and keep our channels bridged to matrix.

I can assure you the effort is non trivial and takes away from actually writing open source software. Very recently it lost all the data and we had to manually bridge 15+ channels again when I had waay too much other stuff going on. Many projects abandon these bridges because they are unreliable.

It was done by a poll on Discord, Matrix, and our issue tracker. I think over 120 votes were cast. It was a polling majority…

I’ve said goodbye to the MineCraft I once knew, if we want something better, we make it, improve it and share it! :)

I think the other response was quite accurate. Different language and architecture makes it harder. There are mods made for minetest that can work with MineClone2, so there may be some stuff you’ll enjoy, but usually they have to specify it’s available for MineClone2. Here is a page if you want to have a look: https://content.minetest.net/packages/Wuzzy/mineclone2/hub/

Minetest modding is actually quite nice to do from what I’ve heard.
