I see a lot of questions which (implicitly or explicitly) are about making Minecraft (Infiniminer, Ace of Spades, Cube World, whatever) style games — to be more specific, let's say games where the game mechanics include modifying a voxel terrain. I am personally interested in the topic, so I would like there to be a tag for such questions.

What should the name of such a tag be?

I figure is inappropriate since the questions are not about Minecraft per se; I mention Minecraft merely as the most notable example of such games (and likely the cause of people being interested in the topic). Furthermore, Minecraft is a trademark which we should not use generically, and some might be annoyed by effectively lumping all such games to “Minecraft clones”.

Tag for the “Minecraft genre”?
