Like Minecraft but another

Have you considered instead of rewriting the entire game from scratch, just do a Minecraft mod that covers what you talked about?

Will have to cut a lot from minecraft, and change a lot of mechanics. It's easier to write them from scratch.

So, you're not a programmer, but you “know” that it would be easier to start from scratch than to make a Minecraft mod? What possible basis could you have for that assertion?

I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong - I wouldn't know myself, having no experience writing Minecraft mods - but it sounds like you are seriously underestimating the amount of work that would go into writing a Minecraft clone.

For the mod, will have to cut the entire mineraft. Creepers, skeletons, cut out a huge number of objects, replace a lot of sounds. This is a very routine job, so it's easier to write from scratch. Write a new generation of the world, structure and rework crafting mechanics.

Thank you for confirming that you have no idea what you're talking about.

Look, there's a reason people make “total conversion” mods that replace literally all content in the game instead of just writing their own games from scratch: because ~95% of the code of the game exists at the systems level below the content level, and that 95% of the code is still useful for the mod.

There are valid reasons for starting over from scratch instead of writing a Minecraft mod. Maybe you're hoping to sell the game. Maybe you want to reach an audience that doesn't have Minecraft installed. Maybe the Minecraft engine just can't handle what you're trying to accomplish. Maybe Minecraft is just really difficult to mod. But you're going to have a hard time attracting a programmer to work for you and keeping them motivated if you don't even acknowledge 95% of their effort.

Dear, I have been in the game industry since 2008. And I perfectly understand your pressure, you are empty. You are like all those people who threw teams without investment. This topic is not about how you are dissatisfied with life and trying to impose your opinion on me, this topic is about finding a person for a project, and even if there is no person, the project will continue to be implemented. The only difference is that you continue to write nonsense, and I make the game. If something does not suit you, then pass by, you do not need to express your displeasure. It looks very silly. Так что советую пойти на ху юг й и не писать мне лишнего, ибо я прекрасно знаю, что таких как ты только и влечет одно - вечно вые бываться там где не просят.

Please keep the conversation civil or the thread will be closed. Discuss ideas, not personages. Also, English only please.
