Is there a non-coder/contributor reason to use this over Java Minecraft? Like, is it more performant?


The MacOS version is less than 1MB (vs ~180MB for Java Minecraft).

I was legitimately _shocked_ at how smoothly this ran on my budget laptop. Flying, zooming, building, etc.

This is also free (vs $26.95 for Minecraft).

I wish this one was easier to customize (ex. change up the world, add water, etc).
