This package is hardly a game because there's almost nothing to do in it.
The world is static, quiet and emtpy. There are no mobs and structures that spawn are boring "dungeons" that are basically small rooms from mossy cobble with chests and that's all.
In the caves there are only minerals that bring no value because there's nothing intresting to build from them.
The caves go as far as -31 000 nodes but barely anything changes as you go down.
The only thing you can do in this "game" without installing mods is building cities with nothing inside.
This package is a bad advertisment for Minetest and made me drop it for 4 years because I simply thought it's not finished after playing. "I'll wait for them to add some mobs" I thought.
The only good part about this package is that some biomes look nice, but that's about it.
This empty husk of a game is a bad attempt at reproducing Minecraft that ultimately fails. The only innovation is that apples grow on trees.
As far as the "modding base" fairy tale goes, this game has no gameplay on its own so why use it as a base?
A base like this has no philosophy on its own which makes it essentially a dumpster for mods, perfect for creating mod soups and Frankenstein games.
If you want a Minecraft clone, play MineClone2. Want something original? We have NodeCore, Exile, Glitch, Hades.
There are so many better options than this.
On a side note, I wouldn't be judging MTG so harshly if not for its back then official status that made people believe MTG is the best thing Minetest has to offer. It is still pretty boring by default though.
