Will streaming Mineclone2 with Minecraft Textures get me in hot water? (lemmy.giftedmc.com)

Hi folks, I'm thinking of streaming or making videos about Mineclone since I like it a lot. But I'm unsure if the textures I use will get me in hot water. I am helping with a Minecraft-like texture pack (NS-Textures) and using that normally since I dont like changes in visuals. I own Minecraft but mojang probably wont like if i stream (on twitch, youtube, peertube or whatever) or make videos with them. Anyone got takedowns or other experience with this? Legal perspective would be best but no illusion that a random lawyer is in this community.

Bonus Questions: How much would I have to alter the textures to be safe and would making them high res instead of minecrafts low res any difference?

Thanks for reading and have a great day! :)

If viewers (children) will confuse it with Minecraft, there's a problem. If you make it VERY clear that you are not playing minecraft, then it should be fine.

Okay! Thanks for the comment! Can you elaborate on why thats the problematic part?

Plagiarism.

If it looks like minecraft, but has more features, the user can get upset when they buy it and it's missing expected features.

If it looks like minecraft and it plays awful, users will tell other people how awful minecraft is, preventing sales of it.
