It is actually really fun for the first few minutes, maybe even hours. You get to diamonds and build your first house, then what? That's it. By that point you have explored all of the meaningful content. The biomes are beautiful, but there is no reason to visit them. I recommend that the best lightweight community mods get included. There should be restrictions, obviously, but there is no reason not to add new content unless you just hate getting new and recurring players. Don't go overboard, but look at Minecraft, back at Minetest, then back at Minecraft again. Does it almost feel like something is missing? Sure, this is a community project, and will never get the polish or budget of Minecraft. But it does not have to stagnate. We could do better. And we should. Why settle for as good as the competition? Minetest as an engine can do things Minecraft could only dream of. Why let them have the game with more features? Sorry for the rant, but maybe we can make a change if there are enough voices.
For community mods being added, there should be a yearly to monthly competition for new mods for the game. The mod with the best content that fits the game gets added. So this way the game is fresh, has new content, and Modders have a little more hope that their work will be noticed. If you have any way to make this better or more fair, please state how. I don't want to be the final voice on this subject.
