Just a simple question:
Why did you change the name from Mineclone2 to Voxelibre?
I wanna know because this could make people angry about it, while with no name change, nothing would happen. If you're not forced to keep the new name, you could change it back, or else tell clearly why you can't in the description.
Because the original name was very bad. Every time I hear it, it just sounds like "bad Minecraft copy 2". It's not a great brand to have.
We've discussed this for over a year on Discord which is bridged with Matrix and on our issue tracker. Most of our community were aware of the change, and voted on it. The vast majority are happy with this change. While there may be some that won't be happy with this change, you cannot neccessarily please everyone. Keeping it the same and people would have also been unhappy, so there is no perfect option.
We've classed our game as "inspired by Minecraft" rather than a clone for over a year now, and MineClone2 is misleading and sometimes used as a stick to beat anyone with if they contribute anything that isn't perfectly like Minecraft. It needed to go, and we've polled it, it is changing, and isn't being reverted. I would hope people understand that reasoning and get on board with the change.
