You could say it&apos;s a Minecraft-style engine but you get to make your own models, paint your own map blocks and (soon) write your own game rules (so you&apos;ll be able to make any kind of games, not just first person stuff).&lt;p&gt;Video of CraftStudio in action: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1QbJO3y_O0&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1QbJO3y_O0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hacker News thread from yesterday: &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3751455&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3751455&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain><item><author>cookiecaper</author><text>There is an unbelievable amount of potential in Minecraft that is completely untapped.

Its an open source server that generalizes the minecraft concept.  They are actually supporting &apos;minecraft&apos; as a plugin called vanilla which communicates with the stock minecraft client.  They also have an improved client which is currently a modded minecraft client but I believe the eventual plan it rewrite the client from scratch also.&lt;p&gt;[0]&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spout.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.spout.org&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/SpoutDev&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://github.com/SpoutDev&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain><item><author>cookiecaper</author><text>There is an unbelievable amount of potential in Minecraft that is completely untapped.
