      I’m not 100% sure but I think it’s someone who goes mad and doesn’t shut up about foss when someone mentions proprietary software (like minecraft)

          Luanti (formerly Minetest) is an open source MC clone. Though I prefer Vintage Story. It’s not FOSS but has a readable source code and, in my opinion, more interesting gameplay.

          Genuine question? Yes Minecraft is closed source but the Java version can be decompiled and a lot has been reverse engineered.

          There are a few open source Minecraft clones. The most popular is Luanti formally mine test which is more like an engine. The most popular? Minecraft clone made with it is named VoxeLibre formally mineclone 2.

          Minecraft Bedrock is written in and compiled from C++ and is completely closed-source.

          The original Java version is technically also closed-source, but Java bytecode is relatively easy to decompile to a high level and Mojang (and surprisingly, even Microsoft*) tend to look the other way when people do that.

          It seems like this was written for the Java version, but I’m not completely sure whether it’s simply a protocol conversion, in which case, the protocols are already well known, and converting it to work with Bedrock might not be too difficult.

          Yes, there are open-source alternatives, but nowhere near as many people play those as play Minecraft, which is probably why that was the target platform and not one of the others.

          *For now.
