Whilst looking like cobble, stone is infact minecraft:stone.
Block's ID are aliased to their "modern" Minecraft name.
Select mapgen singlenode for a truly flat world.
Mapgen v6 unsupported.

change the following in your minetest.conf:

2025-10-14 - Inventory order
Fix inventory order system.
Probabbly unnoticable, but this should play nicer with other mods now if they use it.

Change back to node_dust, it's more faithful.

Use node_top rather than node_dust for mapgen.
Figured out why it wasn't working.
Unfortunately, this means new mapgen is 1 node lower, causing a ridge in existing worlds.

2024-10-14 - Inventory by mods
Inventory order is now alphabetical by technical name (meaning they're also grouped by mod).
It used to be non-deterministic. Items speficying order come first, as before.

this is the game of all time
i approve of this game
Fun one minute distraction
While it's certainly not a game with much (or any) gameplay it still does what it says on the tin - be a somewhat accurate recreation of Cave Game. The textures look nice although I might be a bit biased. :P
Continuing in the same vein I'd like to see a RubyDung/RubyRevived-esque game on Minetest which would take the game down a completely different path than Minecraft ended up becoming.
Nice Idea
I think it's a nice idea to add cave-game It's a nice joke. Maybe add a cavegame-serverd :D
Good
Nice simple and fun :)
I tried to mod it for kicks, don't
It is unique I guess. It is 100% moddable, but the inventory does not agree with mods at all. It will randomly select some nodes from the installed mod(s) and the first two are always the normal grass and stone blocks. The rest will be whatever it felt like grabbing on launch. It is definitely playable, but so simple I doubt I'll do much with it.
everything is good but...
you cant press aux to summon steves
