I played with Minetest for a while. It feels like it suffers from a lack of identity beyond "it's Minecraft, but free and hackable!". This is not enough to build a unified playerbase, I'm afraid. Its API is much simpler, though, if limited (no client-side scripting, limited model options).

Here is a Minecraft my buddy pieced together with client side scripting https://github.com/teachthenet/pycraft/

Bukkit? This does not sound very client side. Even if it runs on LAN, you're still only touching the integrated server. Client-side scripting in Minecraft-esque modding would probably mean things like being able to create proper, interactive GUIs, HUDs, dynamic rendering, etc.
