      What actually is this? The Website is rather unhelpful. Its just a Minecraft clone?

        It started as minetest, an open source minecraft clone. It has since developed into a full voxel engine, supporting community made game modes and modpacks.

          Thanks, that’s exactly what I was talking about. What does that mean? Its a Minecraft clone?

            It is a Minecraft clone, but it does a lot more. People are building new games with the same engine. It’s called a voxel engine, because that the type of 3D that was popularized by minecraft.

              I don’t play Minecraft or Roblox, but this sounds like what I heard of the latter, not the former. You make games and they are available for people to play, or is there a difference I’m missing?
