Free and Open-Source Sandbox for Fans of Minecraft
Fans of Minecraft will be pleased to know that there is a new open-source variant of this popular game available to the general public. As Terasology is a user-contributed platform, it is absolutely free to download and enjoy.
Primary Features and Options
Terasology is essentially a clone of the popular Minecraft series of sandbox games. Its graphics are quite similar and many of the same functions are offered. This is a rather new release, so constant improvements are being made. Players can also contribute to different environments as they progress. These worlds will then be incorporated into the gameplay as a whole. It employs Apache 2.0 coding; a benefit for those who are looking for a more user-friendly application.
A Work in Progress
While initially inspired by Minecraft, many will argue that the graphics associated with Terasology are much more realistic and engaging. This is largely due to the fact that "smoother" elements such as water are present alongside the traditional blocks which have made this genre famous. The game is offered as a ZIP file, so its contents will need to be extracted before they are installed.
User reviews about Terasology

I'm giving it a 5 because I don't want to be rude and give it a bad rating, but I'm also unsure of the game play so I am unable to give it 10. I was really excited to play this, but I can't install it. I tried the 'Need help installing?' thing but it didn't help me at all... I can get it downloaded, but that is as far as I can get... My problem is, it won't even show me how to install it. So you say to follow the instructions it tells you, but I can't even get to those instructions... T^T More

Hard to install. Hard to play..
Hard to install. For instance, if you download from here, it won't work. If you read the readme file you will see that it tells you to go instead to the program website.There you download the launcher. After you install it, it can download and auto-install the latest version of the game. When I started playing the game, everything was black. What was going on? Was it night time? Then I realized I had spawned deep underwater and was drowning. Nice original spawn point!So a bit later on I wanted to craft something. I could not figure out how. The game has no instructions, no tutorial, no help menu. I exited the game and searched on the Internet. It turns out that you have to use a mod if you want to do crafting. It also looks like you have to use mods if you want things like monsters and ore to mine, and hunger and other things you would expect to come standard. More
