Saw this on Reddit, figured I'd share it here too.

The devs behind the Custom Edition overhaul mod Halo SPV3 have been working on a new total conversion mod for ODST, which they've finally decided to officially unveil.
In this case, their goal is not an overhaul of the game's campaign like with their previous work. They're more aiming to create their own game using ODST as an engine.

I recommend people to check out the linked blog post. It goes into a lot of detail on the project.

Testing something, please ignore

A dark bolt of lightning streaks across the sky.
The first demigod arrived at the mountain peaks, listening to the counsel of destiny.
The final meteor pierced through Evernight, becoming the sword that defies calamity.
At that time, they were still waiting:
Or perhaps a chess piece biding its time,
An after echo of a wave,
A hem of a skirt not yet sewn,
A gold coin with different faces on each side.
Or a butterfly perched on a branch,
A paradoxical retort,
A gentle warm ray of light,
A migrating lion,
An unnamed sword.
...
The Chrysos Heir who opens the "path,"
Your soul shall be sundered by divergent paths
— But dawn will arrive.

• Feature: For multiplayer servers, added a connection queue for when a game server is full (Experimental, off by default. Set MaxClientsInQueue in serverconfig.json to a value above 0 to activate it - the number determines how many players are allowed to sit waiting in the queue)

• Feature: For multiplayer, added a ModWhiteList for better control of used mods on game servers (set via serverconfig.json)

• Tweak: The decorative chimney block now covers entire bottom of block, and provides a solid downward face for creating a room

• Tweak: Interactions with a tamed Elk, such as mounting/unmounting and attaching/removing attachments, is now only possible for the Elk's owner. (As a reminder, attach a medallion to an Elk's brow to claim ownership)

• Tweak: Further reduced spawn quantity of new mobs during Temporal Storms

• Tweak: Some animals need to be of a certain generation before they can be roped. Goats are now rope tieable

• Tweak: Added tongs transforms to a large number of metal and ceramic items

• Performance tweaks:

  • Fix a source of server-side lag spikes (Technical info: Addresses 5-200ms despawn times for individual entities, entities should now be despawning in microseconds)
  • Reduce server RAM use by approximately 82MB through reducing duplicate Block/Item/Entity data
  • Doubles the client side framerate around lots of entities, e.g. when spawning 2000 chickens
  • Reduce overkill butterfly spawn attempts

• Tweak: Reduce error log spam when too many sounds get loaded, now prints a notification 2x per second instead

• Tweak: On client startup, silently re-try to verify the single player session a second time if the first one fails

• Tweak: Allow /wgen pregen command to be run from console

• Tweak: On World creation when the worldname is empty choose a random one again

• Tweak: Fix role change audit log: caller name, role and target player name were not in the correct order

• Tweak: Update community translations

• Fixed: Should permanently fix player phasing into blocks when getting damaged

• Fixed: Minimap opening at game start when it was supposed to be turned off

• Fixed: Beehive Kiln instantly firing blocks inside

• Fixed: Colors in character customization screen now named correctly

• Fixed: Should prevent tamed Elks attacking players after suffering fall damage and similar

• Fixed: Should fix Elk teleporting into Lava/Boiling water

• Fixed: Water rendering at the wall of a solid block (e.g. on a chiseled trough)

• Fixed: Light brown raw daub recipe only allow each sand to work with one clay type, rather than either sand with either clay type.

• Fixed: Rift Ward was blocking rifts even when not activated

• Fixed: Devastated soil and rock were chiselable

• Fixed: Treasure Hunter Trader should drop item when giving a map to a player whose inventory is full

• Fixed: Treasure maps could get broken by regenerating/deleting chunks and cause server-side errors

• Fixed: 2nd Story Chapter boss stuck in mid air

• Fixed: Land Claims would not work properly for large ones like the Devastation area after a restart

• Fixed: Maybe fixes players able to break the Jonas lens on the tower

• Fixed: Chat not opening on Broadcast messages like Temporal Storm warnings.

• Fixed: Command: Waypoint modify command did not check the waypoint index correctly and could cause an error

• Fixed: Server throwing an exception when the masterserver sends an invalid response

• Fixed: Rare issue where player group commands op/deop/kick would not work properly on some servers

• Fixed: Can pick up ingot molds while holding a mold

• Fixed: Overhead chat message no longer displayed

• Fixed: Log spam with charcoal pits when it has ground stored objects inside the charcoal pit (BlockFirepit.IsFirewoodPile)

• Fixed: Server side exceptions thrown by a bowl of meal in water

• API Change: Certain elements of blocks, items and entities which are intended for use on client-side only - for example, Textures and ShapeInventory - are now null on a server after game start. (Mods are not expected to make use of these on the server-side: if a coded mod experiences new "Object reference not set" errors in game versions 1.20.4+, it may need to check its code to ensure that code referencing these things runs only on client-side.)

• API Change: Added Block.CanAcceptFallOnto() method, for thread safety this must be used if implementing Block.OnFallOnto()

Does anyone know of any interesting and unique #Minecraft "clones", like #VintageStory or even #Terraria (which is a bit far removed from Minecraft, but I'd count it for this question)? I do know of #4DMiner and those two, but that's about it.

Edit: To clarify, I mean games that are clearly inspired by Minecraft, and would be called clones of it by ignorant people, but which actually offer a unique experience of their own. Luanti sounds like it probably has some interesting cases of this, but MineClone itself is actually the opposite of what I'm looking for.
