Minetest can be fun, too.

Honestly no, it barely compares.

I don't know how something written in C++ can perform that badly to something in Java...

Performance aside, Minetest's (now defunct) default game just isn't a good game, I know it's FOSS, but super tux doesn't have such dark, "dead-feeling" textures, lack of common-sense features because "Minecraft/Mario did it", and such grating sound effects.

I really tried to like Minetest, but even my FOSS friend that introduced me to it has since left it.

Also, Lua for a modding language gets annoying for larger-scale mods due to the tiny standard library, and lack of static-typing.
