I thought there already was a spiritual successor to Minecraft: Vintage Story

There’s hundreds if not thousands spiritual successors to Minecraft.

My favorite so far has been Enshrouded. Voxel world that doesn't look like it's made of cubes, plus souls like combat (though not nearly the same difficulty).

Huh. That looks neat. Any favorite parts you'd like to share?

Friends and I have had servers up for years now. It only looks like Minecraft on the surface, it plays pretty differently beyond placing cubes of stuff down. It's survival focused, so there's cooking and hunting etc. Making in pretty minimal and then you need to smelt the ores down, hammer ingots into what you're crafting voxel by voxel, and climb up the ladder of materials while dealing with more and more complex processes to make better items.

There's seasons that affect crop growth and animal health, and your internal body temp is tracked so if you don't wear warm enough clothing or let it go to tatters you'll freeze to death in winter. If that starts to suck hard enough you can travel thousands of blocks toward the equator and the average temp will go up as you do. There's no biomes like MC, areas are populated based on average seasonal temps and rainfall dynamically. Altitude affects these too.

It's neat.

Don't forget about the cosmic horrors. Those are fun too.

I haven't played it, I've only seen clips on YouTube.

Gotcha, thank you.
