I have outed myself previously as not a big Minecraft fan, so take everything in this post with a grain of salt (as I obviously don't really understand that genre).
Anyways... recently
this sub-reddit for open-source games was pointed out in our forums, and while it isn't really as lively as others (for example the
Linux gaming one) it pointed out an
new project called Iceball:

Seemingly made by people not happy with the recent commercialization of
Ace of Spades, it's an all FOSS remake, those early development you can follow
here (or on their
Github page).
Now maybe the graphics are lacking on purpose (see disclaimer above), but I couldn't help to think: why for f***'s sake did they have to reinvent the wheel with their own engine instead of using for example
Terasology:
Or
Minetest, or the
Ardorcraft API for that matter???
Ahh well, at least it made me aware that
Terasology is still very much under development, and with its focus on DungeonKeeper & Dwarf-Fortress elements, it might actually become a game I would play (and doesn't make my eyes bleed :p ).
Speaking of which... the guy behind AgentKeeper released
yet another nice video and graphics are constantly further improved as seen
here.
