I love Endless Sky, it’s honestly one of my favorite games! I have a pack of cool SciFi art that I found on Nexus and I’ve been slowly replacing the stock photos for my personal game. I’m also a sucker for TeeWorlds, it is delightfully infuriating and hillarious to play. I know that’s baby’s first FOSS games but I’m new to open source games. That’s why I want to hear your recommendations and see what are some other good ones out there.

    My personal favorite advantage of Minetest over Minecraft is the larger world height. Minetest’s worlds are 62000 blocks high, compared to Minecraft’s 384 blocks.

    You certainly don’t need most of those 62000 blocks, but 384 is quite limited, especially with only 128 underground. It means that Minecraft’s caves are all rather flat and there’s practically no challenge in getting to the rarest minerals.

    With Minetest, it’s actually worth going down the more vertical caves rather than just digging, and it’s worth building intermediary bases. Minetest was the first time I felt minecarts and ladders were useful while mining.
    It makes mining challenging and fun, even without mobs.
