Welcome to a thread where you can talk about upcoming and current voxel games, find people to play with, and find new games to play. And as @SteveAdamo says:

**(Old Question: Resolved)**

Hello All, At this current point in time - I’ve official stopped playing Minecraft (due to insane boredom). I tried PvP, Mods, Mod-packs, Mini-games, and pretty much everything - until I realized that the game just wasn’t meant for me. Back then Minecraft was the only game I played, and since then I planned that Stonehearth would take its place, but its taking a while - and I miss having my own character in a 3D voxel world. I tried hunting for another voxel game myself, but most of my findings were too boring or had a weak emphasis on building. So I decided to let my Stonehearth Discourse buddies help me find something that fits my playstyle. Here are the requirements for the game, if it lacks one - it’s gonna be ruled out completely:

- Voxel-based
- Some form of Multiplayer (No LAN, Servers Please!)
- A Strong Emphasis on Building & Crafting
- Some Decent Graphics
- Customizable 3D Player Avatar
- A Smooth UI (Don’t ask - OCD does things to people…)

Thanks Stonehearthers, and hopefully you’ll be able to help me out 😃 . Something else to note is that I would like for the game to not have violence or combat toggle-able. (I like to build without worrying that a strange creature will come and blow it up - _cough_ Creepers) Thanks once again!

Have you thought about involving yourself into modding? You could download Qubicle Constructor and play around a bit with [models from Stonehearth](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/unofficial-model-and-template-files-for-qubicle/1925?u=voxel_pirate). You could also [dig into the Graphics Test](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/modding-stonehearths-graphics-test-program/3540?u=voxel_pirate) and see what you can do… even [start to animate](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/guide-from-a-picture-to-an-animation/1702?u=voxel_pirate) some things could be fun (and useful once Stonehearth is out and you want to mod it).

Go outside and grab a stick. Wave it around some. Congratulations, you now have the world’s greatest toy.

well, [**Timber & Stone**](http://www.timberandstonegame.com/) meets the bulk of those requirements… unfortunately, there is no violence toggle at this point… 😄

Well to meet most requirements, Cube World is pretty cool from what I’ve seen, however unfortunately I haven’t played it. I think combat is a must, however I don’t know how easy it is to just stay out of fighting. I believe they would like building implemented, just don’t have it yet? Major citations needed, @SteveAdamo, @Geoffers747, @ManOfRet, you guys know anymore? I know you all have the game…😛

Cube world is all exploration and combat… no construction aspect (I’m not sure if it’s planned either)…

But it is all sorts of voxel fun! 👍

To be fair… With all those preferences… or demands even… all I can think of is minecraft…

I’d say cube world as well, but it’s missing this:

And Steve mentioned T and S already and hits the spot.

I’ve tried googling around a bit… But I’m near completely sure you just described MC. Or I must have missed something… then I’m an idiot ^^

There’s this (developing) game called Trove, it looks interesting. I don’t know much about it, but it might fit your needs. Have a look: [http://www.trovegame.com/](http://www.trovegame.com/)

And if you’re legit hardcore for this, they’ve got a donating thingy goin’: [Store | Trove](http://www.trovegame.com/support-trove/)

i quite literally, just learned about this over the weekend… 👍

looks promising, but the FTP aspects still need to be ironed out…

some of the early footage looked fun (the integration of building tools)…

there are only a few YT videos floating around, but they’re worth watching…

I got into the Trove Alpha, but god, I can run Skyrim on Ultra, yet on this game I get 4 FPS… wat?

ooo, you’re in the alpha? hmm… i _think_ i signed up, but i rarely check the email associated with the registration… 😄

other than the horrid performance, are there any redeeming qualities?

Well, when you only get 4 FPS, you can’t really play the game at all, heh 😛 but, the cornerstone aspect (your own plot of land to build on you can take with you, and place down - server to server), is kind of cool, the graphics are also pretty nice, but that’s all I can tell ya so far until this performance issue is fixed, it slows down my computer to a slow crawl, so I’m thinking their is a memory leak problem or something of the sorts. 👍

Here is what I can show:

I also applied for TROVE alpha. Timber&Stone somehow doesn’t look as appealing as Stonehearth to me.

Check out R.O.A.M 😉 [www.roam-game.com](http://www.roam-game.com)  
Cool survival game with heavy base building. Scheduled for january2014.

Dude… CoD 4 is the answer. Me and my brother just got back into CoD 4 and it is super fun. Also play with friends, host a server and play with your friends. It helps a lot, at least until SH comes out. That’s what I’m doing. =D

I have to say… Roam looks pretty awesome 🙂 and never heard of trove! (So I guess I’m an idiot? :P)  
@CaptainMC Call of Duty… isn’t even… NEAR what he’s asking for 🙂

EDIT: @Valiance I think I found something… It’s called “Vox” check it out. [http://www.vox-game.com/](http://www.vox-game.com/)

It’s still in Alpha I believe but maybe you can have a bit of funzies!

Edit edit: Confirmed, it’s already purchaseable (\< help me with spelling here) and it seems like it still needs alot of polishing! 🙂 But I think it’s a great temporary replacement 😃 (jeezz… the amount of (re)searching I’ve done for you)  
You can lock on a target and move around them, like in some zelda games… You can craft items and weapons and fights are real time.

Just NOTE THAT I don’t own this game nor have I ever played it at someone else’s place… So I can’t promise anything about how fun it will end up to be 🙂

Roam looks really good. It even catches my interest in the declining fad of zombies. Looks like a survival game with different twists than I’ve played before.

[**Rimworld**](http://rimworldgame.com/) doenst meet the first criteria (voxels), or a few of the others, to be honest… but i have been having a ridiculously good time with what the developer has termed an “alpha” release… it is more solid, and more fun than any alpha i have ever played… 👍
