Okay herpity derps.
Cube World is an Indie game that uses VOXELS! Voxels are used because a large amount of them can be shown on screen/utilized in game without running a $2000 system. Its the reason why Minecraft has willy shrivelingly large worlds, but jimmy down the street can run it on his 2003 hot rod desktop.
Just because it uses VOXELS does not mean you can just say "this is a Minecraft knockoff" and believe you are correct, because it is not.
Here is a video about a guy VERY EXCITED about his companies VOXEL based game engine. He never specifically states that they are VOXELS but claims they are "point clouds". A little digging will reveal that they are indeed VOXELS.

After this video was first put up and got loads of attention, Notch made this post.

To top this post off, the guy who made Cube World was recently HIRED by Mojang to assist with Minecraft's development.
