It appears you cannot play SoT or MC without a MS account and I hate predatory ways Xbox accounts operate (e.g. forcing numbers into your nickname and having you pay to remove it - nickname change being a paid feature is always a 100% demonstration of irreversibly gluttonous greed). My friend likes the type of games though. We played DBD and Lethal Company together, but I’d like something non-horror. The cheaper the better. I looked into Vintage Story, but she’s not down due to it not being on Steam, as she feels like the reviews are curated to inflate positivity (a fair way to feel imo).

Any recommendations based on that?

    For a Minecraft alternative maybe have a look at Minetest. Minetest is a voxel game engine that allows for a wide variety of voxel games. (And you cannot connect to Minecraft servers with it, of course.)

    One of those voxel games is named “MineClone2”. It is not a 100% clone, though.

    You install Minetest and from within the client you can install MineClone2.

      As someone who does not play Minecraft, what are some of the major differences between mineclone2 and Minecraft?

      I’m just curious, so no need to respond if it’s too much effort to explain🙏

        Check out the “Completion status” section on the MineClone2 page I linked, there are lists of what features are available and what’s missing, also what’s added exclusively for MineClone2.
