Well, yeah. I'm not arguing that they actually copied Minecraft. I'm arguing that they ended up in a visually similar place. Which it doesn't seem you disagree with?
My point is that it can be true that the screenshot looks like Minecraft without the game actually being an MC ripoff.
And as an aside, Terraria being a 2d game has different considerations for their visuals. You're basically getting xray vision into each block. The sides of terraria blocks do have grass, but unlike in MC or Allumeria you can also see the dirt inside the block.
Yup, that's the reason. OP had said that the textures weren't even similar iirc. Arguing against that doesn't mean I was arguing against their overall conclusion about the DMCA being invalid. Probably should have phrased it less confrontationally.
