This video is just my opinion, and so if you personally prefer Minecraft and dislike Minetest, then that's okay. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion o...
Things like horrible lighting engine, textures that were made by an amateur which lack depth, horrible world generation with lack of the types of layering that MC uses, the requirement to MOD it before it hits feature-for-feature parity, and even then, badly.
The reason why my feedback is vague, is because I would probably write a dozen pages worth of shit. It’s one of those ‘death by a thousand papercuts’ situations. The little things add up to the whole thing just feeling like shit. Movement, acceleration, graphics, world generation, UI elements, the barebones nature of the freshly installed game, textures that repeat HEAVILY, shadow-pop-in, chunk pop-in, fog, I could go on for days.
So you installed Minetest Game, the modding base, with no mods and are mad it’s not Minecraft, got it.
Minetest Game isn’t about cloning MC, it’s about building your own game out of mods. If you want a Minecraft clone, that’s what Voxelforge and Mineclonia are for.
Personally I couldn’t care less – I don’t like Minecraft (and am not a big fan of Minetest Game either) and am far more interested in original voxel games that are not joined at the hip to bad design decisions made by Notch and/or Microsoft just because Minecraft did it. (Looking at you, crafting grid)

Then don’t play it then? This is a Minetest community.
