New players don't know that Minetest is an engine. They believe that Minetest is a clone of Minecraft.

Most of them just try the minetest_game and come to the conclusion that Minetest is nothing more that a poor clone of Minecraft Cassic/Alpha, although nearly everything of that is already implemented in mods.

That's horrible if it's the case. Even if they don't know Minetest is an engine, they should know to expect a different gameplay / features / direction / etc. which even less flexible Minecraft-inspired games have. If people really think we're trying to clone Minecraft like that, there's no surprise some are still complaining about Minetest being an immoral and illegal ripoff... since they have no idea what they're talking about.
This might be a bit off topic however... since it's not a technical problem, nor something I believe Minetest needs to take action toward. This thread is for focusing on a select few engine issues which are limiting the ability to create a functional game of quality, and can be considered the remaining basic issues that every player and mod maker are limited or frequently affected by.

That is worthy of a good facepalm.

Indeed. They say it sucks just because they are too lazy to just figure out how to copy and paste an archive and extract it? gah
