Trion Worlds is officially launching version 1.0 of its voxel-based Trove online game world for the PC.

Redwood City, Calif.-based Trion Worlds acknowledges that its blocky free-to-play online game Trove is inspired by Minecraft, the wildly popular 8-bit building title that Microsoft scooped up for $2.5 billion last year.

It takes advantage of Trion’s infrastructure for MMOs that has been used for multiple games, and it has some features that Minecraft doesn’t have.
