Its a pretty good minecraft replacement. The LotR mod is pretty amazing, along with mineclone2, and they have some automation mods as well.

Minetest with mods is good, but the graphics are not good. I feel like they are too much like the cheap knock offs of minecraft and if a random person saw someone playing minetest you would be hard pressed to find someone who thinks there’s more to minetest than being just another mineclone. The selling point is just being open source, and unless you don’t want to play minecraft or want to support an open source game then there isn’t much of a reason to play. Again I love the game but I think that it wont be ready to interest normal people for at least another couple years.
I’d agree that by default its not as pretty (just started playing again a few days ago). Mineclone2 isn’t bad visually, with the exception of some mobs. However, it seems most mods aren’t compatible with mineclone, since it doesn’t export “default”. There are some impressive mods coming out though (techage), so I’ll definitely be playing a bit and keeping an eye on it.
One thing IMO it does better is mods (which makes sense). Just took a look at Minecraft after ~6-7 years and mods are still multiple versions behind. When I played, I recall they were going " improve" the situation.
