## Project description
The main goal of **MineClone 2** is to be a clone of Minecraft and to be released as free software.
* **Target of development: Minecraft, PC Edition, version 1.12** (later known as “Java Edition”)
* MineClone2 also includes Optifine features supported by the Minetest
* In general, Minecraft is aimed to be cloned as good as possible
* Cloning the gameplay has highest priority
* MineClone 2 will use different assets, but with a similar style
* Limitations found in Minetest will be documented in the course of development
* Features of later Minecraft versions are collected in the mineclone5 branch
## Using features from newer versions of Minecraft
For > 1.12 features, checkout MineClone5. It includes features from newer Minecraft versions.

## Target
- Crucially, create a stable, moddable, free/libre clone of Minecraft
based on the Minetest engine with polished features, usable in both
singleplayer and multiplayer. Currently, most of **Minecraft Java
Edition 1.12.2** features are already implemented and polishing existing
features are prioritized over new feature requests.
- With lessened priority yet strictly, implement features targetting
**Minecraft version 1.17 + OptiFine** (OptiFine only as far as supported
by the Minetest Engine). This means features in parity with the listed
Minecraft experiences are prioritized over those that don't fulfill this
scope.
- Optionally, create a performant experience that will run relatively
well on really low spec computers. Unfortunately, due to Minecraft's
mechanisms and Minetest engine's limitations along with a very small
playerbase on low spec computers, optimizations are hard to investigate.
## Completion status
This game is currently in **beta** stage.
