Minecraft has become the defacto standard to compare to because it is the most popular. Infiniminer only has voxel building, but Minecraft isn't a clone of it because it became more popular, and took the idea MUCH further. It refined it, and made it better.
Minetest is a cheap half-assed recreation of that. If their idea is to be Minecraft -- but extensible via API/LUA programming, they have a long way to go. There's a 30 min tutorial for Godot that would put you about where Minetest sits right now in terms of quality.
I'm pretty sure that's not how that works
