Not returning ever since they forced microshit

I left after the Java chat/sign/whatever filtering controversy. Never got into bedrock edition, so I never had to worry about it. Don't know if they backed down on it, though.

And the microtransactions are also absolutely abhorrent as well. Never felt with them, but I don't know a single sane person who actually like them.

How else are you supposed to play Minecraft?

Edit: are we talking Java edition?

Mojang is owned by Microsoft. Both versions of the game are developed by Mojang which is beholden to what Microsoft's goals for the game are.

I don't like Microsoft but don't think I can run away from Minecraft. Got a server with my friends and I really like the game. What would even touch it as a competitor or alternative?

Closest is Terraria. 2D, yes, but very expansive and tons of content

Yeah, I've easily got 10x the time in Terraria vs MC.

I wish the maps were bigger though.

Minetest. The game is way more open and customisable, and you can add in whatever rulesets you like.
