Unomelon, the developer of Minecraft-inspired sandbox game Allumeria, says a DMCA from Microsoft, evidently related to Minecraft, got the game removed from Steam.
“The Allumeria Steam page is currently down because Microsoft has filed a false DMCA claim on it,” Unomelon said on Bluesky on Tuesday. “They sent an email earlier today claiming that this screenshot infringes on their copyright. I am taking a moment to figure out what my path is going forward, will update soon.”
The screenshot in question (above) is a simple wide shot of a forest filled with birch trees, what look to be oak trees with green and autumnal leaves, and a few pumpkins and weeds checkering the grassy dirt. There are definitely some similarities to Minecraft; if you told me this was a screenshot of a Minecraft mod, I’d probably believe you, but that’s true of many voxel-based games, including Hytale.
Lol. Birch trees are the most despised tree by most Minecraft players.
Why?
The stripped log and the wood are fine, but the regular birch log is almost impossible to use in builds. It just looks bad in almost any context.
What’s wrong with birch trees?

I am old enough to be hyped when birch trees were added. I love birch trees because that hold a core memory for me.
Huh. I just looked it up and apparently birch was added just about a year before I started playing. Crazy how we assume everything that was in there when we started has “been there forever.”
Jungle wood hater here. No reason to use it. Just leave the jungles alone!
Burn them to the ground to expose the hyper-green grass blocks below! (/s… maybe)
