Half-Craft: the Half-Life Minecraft mod
Ever wondered how wonderful it would be to port Minecraft to the GoldSrc engine? Well, now it exists! The gameplay should be similar to the alpha/beta versions of Minecraft, so block placing/breaking, health, crafting, smelting, and mobs are going to...
It sounds like the process to port Minecraft to the GoldSrc engine has been a tricky one, and b4n4n4 has detailed some of the problems they encountered, most notably networking issues that slowed things down a lot. They've come up with solutions, however, and now you can try out the alpha for yourself.
The aim is to make the mod comparable to the alpha and beta builds of the original game, but b4n4n4 warns that there are some bugs that still need to be squashed in the current version, and that it's just got the basics. You can break blocks, place blocks and explore, but you'll need to spawn the blocks yourself. Expect some graphics issues, too, and it's not been designed with multiplayer in mind.
Future plans include adding Minecraft's survival mechanics, and b4n4n4 will be releasing multiple improved versions this month. You can download the alpha over at ModDB.
