This is the most recent and performant tool I have heard off, to convert Minecraft worlds to Mineclonia specifically.

I haven't tested it though.

Btw, mineclone2 also rebranded as Voxelibre, months ago, and for the same reasons. Voxelibre now actively moves away from copying Minecraft exactly.
If you want the closest copy (and my personal recommendation) check out Mineclonia.

Valve is holding the carrot, Microsoft the stick.

Well for the sake of context Mineclonia is a fork of Mineclone2, which has now rebranded itself as VoxeLibre. The project was forked due to personal and design disputes. In fact the most productive developer of Mineclonia, used to be the lead dev of mcl2.

Currently VoxeLibre maintains the continuity of the original project and the community which explains its higher popularity. Mineclonia by comparison has very little presence, the discord server was set up like a couple of months ago I think.

But in terms of code, mineclonia has been the faster evolving of the two. More features, more bug fixes, and advances from voxelibre that are deemed valuable are cherry picked. In terms of specific features, I really prefer the double digging depth, and the better villages. And voxelibre has significantly shortened the attack range which I find really annoying.

Other than that, mineclonia is more commited to being a true clone of minecraft, with voxelibre going out of its way to diverge, especially after the rebrand, which might turn out to be wise if microsoft's trademark lawyers come knocking.

Indeed you can. Personally I find the phone interface a bit too clunky, but if your phone's hardware is up for it, it does run, and all platforms that support Minetest are compatible with each other.

Nope, you can just use these mods for the time being.
On the flip side, it's orders of magnitude easier to write a Minetest mod, and keep it updated with later versions and compatible with other mods.

Friendly, and unsolicited reminder that the Minetest engine + its game Mineclonia (or alternatively Voxelibre) are a pretty good open source alternative as of late.
Minetest is also getting some pretty nice upgrades to its graphics lately. The upcoming release should be looking quite pretty.

Here's a tip for YouTube, than might come in handy.
In videos that have subtitles available, you can go to the bottom of the description and hit the Show Transcript button. It opens the transcript on the right, and you can search in it. The negatives are that it's not always available, and when it is, and it's automatically generated, it might be inaccurate/misspelled, especially for niche technical terms.

Just figured out yesterday that OpenBoard is abandoned and jumped over to Heliboard, thanks to the announcement for 1.0 in this community. The top comment mentioning FUTO Voice Input, was also a great find.
The only annoying part is that I now have to retrain my recommendations for HB, since OB unlike HB, offers no way to extract your settings, and I found no method to access the settings files in newer Android. Thankfully, since HB offers import/export, it will be the last time.

What? EEVEE is evolving!
EEVEE evolved into RAYTHEON!

Downside of making them so stealthy? Have they checked between the cracks of the couch?

 

Again, not 3.5. but more fixes.

 

Not 3.5 yet, but plenty of bugfixes
