I'm considering working on a Minecraft like project, just as an 
experiment/hobby. I have no intention of competing with Mojang or Notch ;-)

I have very little experience with any 3D libraries (other than basic 
home-grown ones that aren't hardware accelerated).  So, the question I 
have is what would be a good first library to jump into?  Given the 
hobby project status, portability isn't a big deal, but would be a nice 
to have in case I want to share this with friends.  If you're going to 
suggest a non-portable library, keep in mind I use a Mac.

What's most important to me is the community around the library, and the 
continued development of the core of the library.


Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Daniel.
