Sometimes when loading world game crashes, The player settings keep resetting to default when you exit game, each world settings resets to default when you exit game. Mining action same as fighting action making it hard to kill mobs, unable to use shield when fighting hostile mobs.

Android version is almost unusable. The menus UI is useless for things like scrolling, and in the game it is even worse. I haven't worked out how to split items in the inventory, and the inventory itself is very inconvenient to open. Also, why is double tapping place blocks? It's impossible to build anything remotely complex, so single tapping would be better.

Minetest is great! This android port isn't. Minetest is an open source game engine that runs custom games written in lua. It's more like roblox than minecraft, in that regard. One custom game, Nodecore, is *very* worth a look. This client is a pretty direct port of the desktop version, with some touch controls slapped on. It doesn't appear to recognize my hardware controller buttons at all. The touch controls are clunky at best, too.

The game window doesn't have the correct size (about 2/3 of the screen width and height) and is not properly positioned on my phone (it seems a bit of the game window is offscreen). The touch controls are offset by a lot (possibly because of the wrong window size). All this makes the game totally unplayable. Too bad because it's a cool game on computer.

If you want to compete with Minecraft, you should just improve the touch controls and add controller support. Double tapping to place blocks is terrible, and no crosshair is also not good. Also when you activate the mining animation, you should be able to look around while mining. If you can just nail those down, then this will be a good competitor to Minecraft on mobile. Minetest on PC is great though.

Works almost like in the pc, which is amazing, but the controls are kinda hard to get used to, but it works if you want to do something minimum like farming, chatting with people in multiplayer. That's really what I hoped for an touchscreen gameplay. I hope if there is some or there would be some kind of controller input in the future, so that it would be easier to control the game.

Controls are a bit clunky, some buttons are to small. It's hard to fight due to how camera locks when swinging. Sometimes,for the reasons unknown, the app will stop responding and will remain like that untill restarted. But it's inconsistent and random. It might not happen at all, even if I intentionally try breaking the game. Restarts help. Other than that it's pretty cool. I like the idea of downloading 'mods' to add content you want to play with. Mobs, farming, automation, it has plenty.

Solid engine with some good games via built in downloader. Glitch for example is a fun little game jam Platformer without a traditional jump and voxelibre is a Minecraft type game(the engine is designed largely for this subgenre of sandbox game)

It's great, absolutely no adds as said, and it has good quality. But when I try to play something it gets placed wrong, or sometimes it doesn't even get placed.

This game is only made for desktop. I've had the game freeze several times and I was never able to install a mod before the game crashed

Vanilla Minetest on PC is pretty bare bones but it's awesome when you mod it, I've been playing it recently and love it, it feels very different to Minecraft, it feels like I'm experiencing Minecraft for the first time again. But this port to Android is not so good. The UI isn't designed well, controls are uncomfortable and unresponsive, and you can't load most mods without crashing the game.

Excellent voxel game engine with unlimited possibilities. Mobile controls need updated though. Double tapping for every bock placement, and having to stop moving to break a block are my biggest gripes. The controls are fine for Minetest game though. I've played Minetest game (the default game) quite a bit, and really love the simplicity. No hunger, mobs, or sprinting. For some people that is better than Minecraft, but others may prefer Mesecraft or Mineclone 2. You are at liberty here.

I absolutely love this game. Coming from Minecraft, this is a completely different experience. Having to completely relearn how to take advantage of world generation patterns is really cool. Minecraft generates worlds in different ways and Minetest seems to do it better and more realistically in my opinion. Plus the fact that this version is basically a direct port of the PC version is super cool because my modpacks still work. Just wish the shaders worked on mobile and the UI was updated

The inventory controls are weird. Lots of mods though. Look for ui mods. And play the tutorial game in the mod list. Note: double tap is right click/interact. To place single block of a stack: two fingers. Hold stack and tap elsewhere. It places the block where you held. Weird. Wish it would just put one where I pressed last. Requires alot of ram like all voxel games. Good just hard to get used to.

Fantastic concept for a miner game, with free mods galore at a literal tap of a button. However, the actual game itself is clunky on mobile devices, making movement and block manipulation a huge chore. My only suggestion would be to make these easier to control, perhaps by utilizing a virtual joystick and 2 buttons (for breaking and placing) otherwise, great game.

Touch controls are... weird at best, and inefficient at worst. The touch controls are not what I was expecting.. double tap to place/interact with blocks is weird but usable. The worst touch control is the combat mechanics, you have to hold your finger on the screen over the enemie your trying to do damage to.. not only does this take time to do its also very buggy, if you don't hold your tap over the enemie when your about to swing it straight up won't do damage, sometimes doesn't swing at all.

The mods and stuff are really cool. One problem is that there are a lot of bugs, and the app crashes as I try to load the MineTest game when I choose a mod with a bug in it that I didn't know has issues instead of showing the script error so I could see what the problem is. Sometimes laggy, but it may have to do with the fact that I'm playing this on my phone.
