I always thought minetest is a cheap minecraft clone, mainly for testing or smth.

So yeah, its a good name change

Yeah. I agree it's rough to lose existing recognition, but I think the test in the name was hurting adoption quite a bit.

When I tried mineTest last, I was thinking, "what the hell, this will amuse me for an afternoon."

I did not expect a feature complete game engine with a better more polished game than vanilla MineCraft.

That was me after hearing MineClone and wanting to try it out. I was shocked how good it felt to play it (except for the soft lag and a bit clunky inventory)
