What do you think? A blatant clone or "a game inspired by Minecraft"?
Notch isn't really happy, from what I have seen by reading his tweets, and I have to side with him on this one.

Reputation: 49Blatant clone, they can't even hide it.
The people playing it must be on the same level as the dude hosting it.
Whilst Notch stated:fanboys, this isnt the real one,
this is a ****ing clone,
notch sayed it was alright to make a clone,
but making it multiplayer is going way too far.
I could be wrong about this whole case though since I just found out about it.No, minecraft is closed source. I will open source it in the far future when I've stopped working on it, though.

Reputation: 106I can't imagine this thing lasting long since the vast majority of the assets are even ripped straight from Minecraft and the news updates reference interchangeability with Minecraft several times (ex: "In mine mode, Minecraft password can be saved for easy connecting").
If Minecraft was completely free this would likely just be a weird rip-off/mod that would simply be ignored until it died, but since Minecraft is eventually going to be purchasable with limited access for free accounts than I can see this guy getting sued for more than a few copyright infringements or at the very least forced to shut it down.
Reputation: 62On topic, blatant rip off. Be suprised if it isn't actually minecraft just renamed, even the characters look the same.
who-ever that made this game , and did not ask Notch for permission or something , should now kill himself..
This is like almost minecraft ... Fo real
but that dude can go screw his game alrdy cuz everyone can see this is a Minecraft clone , and most people do have alot of respect for Notch for doing this all by himself..
Even if this version is less laggy and more features i stay with minecraft , cause at the end .. it will pwn every other game ^^
