Indeed. I can't wait to see someone building an RTS using this. Imagine how awesome TA would be if you could alter terrain on the fly!

#4Is this a completely new thing or is it based on Minecraft's engine?

Then you should go and check TA Spring. It has all the good stuff from TA + modern graphics engine + terrain changing mechanics.
I remember this epic duel I played vs 2 other guys (yes my teammate quit) in a castle type map. Since I turtled too heavily for them to break through, eventually they just drowned me by blasting me with arty long enough for map's floor to erode beyond water level.

It's not correct to attribute the voxel game genre to Minecraft. It's just the first game of the genre to reach a considerable level of success.
Minecraft is just one of many games that were directly inspired by the underground hit Infiniminer.

Given that Minecraft isn't open source, this is a new thing.

That sounds cool, but if I play a game I'm usually going for single-player. Does Spring have a useful AI yet?

Not based on the Minecraft engine. The Minecraft engine is proprietary and closed-source. Also, it is (according to the developers) a bit of a runny mess, so licensing doesn't make sense either.

Why not? If it’s the one that made it popular then it’s the one that created the genre.
Edit: Well, ok, I don't want to put it in such absolute terms. But I do think that Minecraft deserves quite a large chunk of attribution for the genre.
