3 curious alternatives to Minecraft for Ubuntu

Minecraft

Minecraft Scenario

Minecraft is one of the most popular games between the young and the not so young. Despite being a game with not very good graphics, users end up getting hooked on its peculiar way of creating alternative worlds. Currently this game has an official adaptation to Gnu / Linux thanks to Java technology, however this type of application is not very light and also still not free Since it has a price that although it is not as high as that of some video games, it is considerable.

That is why we have selected three alternatives to Minecraft that are totally free and just as functional as the original Minecraft. Also, in some cases, these games have an interface or some characteristic that surpasses the original at least according to their users.

Twink

Minetest scenario

Minetest is one of the most popular games and the one that has originated the most versions. It is also the most developed game, already having a version for Wily Werewolf. In addition to being free, it is also Open Source and has an own repository that we can use to install in our Ubuntu. Of the three options, Minetest is the option most similar to Minecraft, although with certain changes in some terms or tools for legal reasons.

Thesarology

Tesarology game image

Terasology is one of the alternatives that has substantially improved Minecraft. As can be seen in the images, Terasology has greatly improved the graphics by differentiating elements such as water, sand, etc ... However, unlike other alternatives, Tesarology cannot run on low-resource computersRather, you need a slightly more powerful computer with at least a decent graphics card. It is rare to find games with high requirements but the results are worth it. Also, like Minetest, it is free and Open Source.

free miner

free miner

Freeminer scenario.

Freeminer is based on Minetest. Unlike other Minecraft alternatives, your goal is to be the funniest possible so it is one of the versions with more scenarios, tools and users that exists. It is free like Minetest and open source, but unlike Minetest, its installation is not through the repository but through a package with generic files for all Gnu / Linux distributions.

Conclusion

Personally, I do not understand the fun in this game, however it is good to get free alternatives to such a popular game, also with many tools and scenarios that in some cases can surpass the original video game. The decision is now yours and you just have to choose. Here are the links to the download websites for the alternatives.
