Many think it's like Minecraft, but it's much better.
Is like MineCraft but it's lighter.
Is like MineClone but much lighter and more stable.
Also is maintained, MineClone is rarely updated or fixed.
In MineClone when you report a bug it is sometimes ignored for months, other times they tell you that that bug is probably caused by a mod and that they won't fix it, even when you don't use mods. But this does not happen in MineClonia.
MineClone2 is also maintained, they're just not doing releases as often - I would recommend downloading the latest master branch at https://git.minetest.land/MineClone2/MineClone2 which is probably better than the current version on contentDB.
Also I suppose our dev team (mostly ryvnf and me) has been a bit more active recently.
The fact that it's lighter comes mostly from the fact that mineclonia does not have menu- and ingame music and has better optimized textures (i think).
That it appears more stable is probably mostly because we're generally quick at fixing issues as they come up - mcl2 has a few critical issues at the moment with fixes available but they have not yet merged them last I checked.

You can migrate from a MineClone world to MineClonia without problems.
MineClonia is Free Software and that will allow everyone to extend it, with mods that Minecraft could only dream of.
To make mods in Minecraft it was necessary for hackers to create external tools like Forge.
To make mods in MineClonia you have thousands of available tools and APIs. You can do anything you imagine ;D

We also backport most changes from Mcl2.
