So recently, the game known as Starmade was released on Steam (finally).
I'm taking this as word that the devs are confident it's in a point in development where it can handle new players.
Starmade is a block based game, much like Dwarf Fortress, Infiniminer, Space Engineers, and yes, Minecraft.
Yogscast did a few videos on it about a year and a half ago, then a lot of the players that surged from it left because the updates lacked content (the engine was still being fixed up to where it needed to be, and the dev couldn't afford to focus on new blocks for several months).
But recently, in the past seven or so months, the game has changed dramatically. There's far, far more depth to it than there used to be. I'll let the trailers speak for themselves.
Give it a try, you might like it. The "demo" that's available on Steam is the full game - it'll just stop being updated at some point in the future. Or, you could just google it and get it from the main website.
In case of trolls, no, Mojang doesn't own copyright on "dirt", "rock", "mountain", "grass", or "voxels"
