For players familar with Minetest Game, this is a list of differences when playing MineClone 2 :

(As observed on Mark Server - MC2-Survival, 2019-12 .. 2020-02)

Apperance

  • Graphics and textures
  • sight underwater is very poor
  • Sounds
  • HUD - the hotbar is the bottom row

Control & Inventory

  • Digging - the player must use proper tool/weapon (otherwise no effect, or no drops).
    E.g. you can break stones by hand (slowly), but then you get no drops.
  • Picking up stuff - nearby stuff is collected 'magnetically'.
    That also means, you have to throw away unwanted stuff.
  • Inventory - size is 4x9, Stack limit is only 64 for most items.
  • Crafting - player's crafting grid is only size 2×2, and doesn't work as inventory space.
    E.g. after crafting, its contents are put back into inventory, or dropped (if the inventory is full).
  • Eating - put food on hotbar, eat it with rightclick.
  • Torches - cannot be placed in water.
  • Death - the player is moved back to spawn (or last used bed), at full health, with inventory intact.
    Note: documentation says that inventory is lost / dropped to floor !
    So, this might be a server-setting.

Mobs

Mobs can spawn on trees, and inside player-houses. Monsters prefer darkness. Mobs can also move thru teleporters and portals.

  • Friendly/Animals (they all drop different, edible kinds of meat):
    • Rabbit - easy to kill, drops rabbit-hide. These hides can be crafted into leather.
    • Chicken - lays eggs & drops feathers / meat must be cooked. Can be tamed with wheat-seeds.
    • Pig - dies with a loud squeak.
    • Sheep - drops wool (white, gray, lightgray, black, brown). Can be tamed with wheat.
    • Cow - gives milk (use bucket), drops leather. Can be tamed with wheat.
      Can be milked several times each day.

As opposed to minecraft, redstone-signals here dont have a strength, and no range-limit. There is also no redstone-comparator (yet?).

    • Machines that react to a redstone-signal:
      • Doors, Trapdoors - open&close.

      • Deployer - Places/shoots/drops an item from its inventory. Exact action depends on itemtype.
      • Dropper -

Note: some of these can be used to build traps !

Hopper: At a rate of about 1 per second, it sucks in items from the block above, and feeds them to a block with an inventory below or to the side.
This output-direction must be set when placing it (can be seen at the tip of the funnel).

So, a hopper above a furnace feeds stuff into the furnace's inputslot (and gets items from a chest above),
a hopper below a furnace gets the items from the furnace's output (and puts them into a chest below),
and a hopper at the side of the furnace feeds into the fuelslot.
A redstone-signal, eg. from a lever, stops the hopper from moving items.
So, to automate cooking&smelting, we need 1 furnace, 3 hoppers and 2+ chests.

    • Signs, Billboards and banners
    • Protection API support (needs sepa itemtype.rate protection mod)
      • Protection-block - secure an area, and chests within that range
    • Useless Stuff (purely decorative / in current version - but maybe I missed some details :)

      • Zombie-heads (gray, green)
      • Bookshelf - digging it only gives a book
      • Cauldron & waterbottles
      • Snow/snowballs (no effect/no damage)
    • Fun:
      • Jukebox - plays a music-cd (eg. found in a treasure-chest, or from an admin-shop)
      • Noteblock - plays a note when clicked - needs a redstone-signal to work, and air above it.

Sound-effect depends on the block under the noteblock:

  • stone -
  • glass -
  • wood -
  • sand, gravel
  • other - piano

Rightclick to change the note, Leftclick to play.

Builtin Mods

  • Help and lookup tool - Shows info about blocks, tools, etc.

World

  • Worldsize
    • clouds are at height 64
    • bedrock is at depth -64
  • Mapgenerator
    • lots of sliced-up landscapes (eg. hills/islands cut in half...)

  • Generated structures:
    • Mobspawners in small dungeons, often with random treasure-chests.
    • Old mines with wooden beams, rails and sometimes treasure-chests.
  • Nether - below depth -28900. To reach, use an upright portal.
    The nether also has bedrock at the bottom.
  • the End - below depth -26900. To reach, use a horizontal portal. (The programming is not yet finished).
Spoiler

Inspired by minecraft, there is supposed to be a 'story', were players have to reach&defeat 'the end'.

To find/make/repair a portal to go to the end-dimension, they need eyes-of-ender.

To make those, they need ender-pearls and blaze-powder.

Ender-pearls come from endermen, blaze-powder comes from blazes in the nether.

To make portals to the nether, they need steel&flint and obsidian.

To mine obsidian, they need diamonds, to make a diamond-pickaxe.
