5 Free Games Similar to Minecraft

Who doesn’t know Minecraft? For most gamers, this game is already very familiar. This popular sandbox game has become even more famous thanks to gaming YouTubers who often play it.

In Minecraft, you can use blocks to create 3D structures. This needs a lot of creativity. You can also explore, collect resources, and fight enemies.

But are there other games like Minecraft? The answer is yes, and there are quite a lot. Here are some free games you can try if you like Minecraft.

1. MultiCraft

If you ask me which free Android game is the closest to Minecraft, I would say MultiCraft. It has similar gameplay but with lighter graphics, so it works well even on low-end phones. In this game, you can explore a blocky world, survive monster attacks, or build anything you want.

There are different game modes to choose from. If you want to play alone, you can try the singleplayer mode with many unique worlds. If you want to play with others, try multiplayer mode and join other players’ servers for adventures together. You can even create your own world with rules and a play style you like.

If you enjoy building without worrying about monsters or resources, Creative mode is perfect for you. Here, you can freely design castles, dream houses, or fantasy lands without any danger.

MultiCraft is also fun because it doesn’t only offer standard blocky worlds. Some have flat graphics or a cuter visual style which makes exploration more fun.

The main downside is the frequent ads. Even though the game warns you before an ad appears, they can still feel too frequent and interrupt your playtime.

What’s good about MultiCraft:

• Similar to Minecraft but lighter for low-end phones
• Singleplayer and multiplayer options
• Creative mode for free building
• Different world themes and graphics
• Active multiplayer community

Things to note:

• Ads appear quite often
• Some features are simpler than in Minecraft

2. WorldCraft

Another sandbox game you can try is WorldCraft, made by Playlabs, LLC. The name is also quite similar to Minecraft.

The gameplay and mode options are almost the same as Minecraft and MultiCraft. But when I tried singleplayer mode, I couldn’t enter any world right away. I had to create my own world first, which actually makes the game more unique.

When creating a world, you can choose from several custom settings. For example, you can make a survival mode world with normal or peaceful difficulty. You can also make a Creative mode world that is flat or random. These options help keep the game fresh and prevent boredom.

If you don’t want to create your own world, you can play in multiplayer mode and join worlds made by other players.

You can also change your character’s skin. There are basic skins, police officers, robots, and even DC superheroes like Flash. However, some skins require coins or in-app purchases.

What’s good about WorldCraft:

• You can create your own world with different modes and difficulty levels
• Many world options
• Multiplayer mode to play with others
• A variety of character skins, including famous superheroes

Things to note:

• No default worlds, so you must create one before playing singleplayer
• Many skins are locked and need coins or purchases

3. Roblox

Roblox is not exactly the same as Minecraft, but it has thousands of games inside it. Many of these games have sandbox, survival, and building styles that feel very similar to Minecraft.

At first, Roblox was created as a platform where players could build objects and worlds with virtual blocks, just like in Minecraft. Over time, the community grew, and now Roblox is a huge place where creators make all kinds of games. You can find role-playing games, FPS games, simulators, and of course, crafting and survival games.

Some Roblox games that are similar to Minecraft include Craftgame, LifeCraft, and many other Minecraft-themed worlds made by different creators. These games have building, crafting, and survival elements with visuals inspired by Minecraft, but each one has its own unique style depending on who made it.

What I like about Roblox:

• Thousands of sandbox and crafting games in one place
• You can make your own world or play in others’ worlds
• You can be a builder, player, or even a game developer
• Many Minecraft-like games with different styles

Things to note:

• Not all games have the same quality
• Some games need in-app purchases or Robux

4. Islet Online

Islet Online is another game where you can explore, craft, and socialise in a 3D block world similar to Minecraft. You can mine, tame animals, and interact with other players online.

Before you start, you can customise your character in detail. You can pick skin colour, hairstyle, eye shape, and gender. As you play, you can also upgrade your character’s look with cosmetic items and costumes.

After creating your character, you will be placed in one of the areas on the Islet Online map. You will get missions like cutting down trees, fishing, making tools, and more. You can also tame animals such as rabbits, bears, or birds. Some animals can be ridden and will help you move around and explore faster.

The downside is that Islet Online only has one game mode and is fully online, so you need a stable internet connection to keep playing. Still, if you want a Minecraft alternative, this game is worth trying.

What I like about this game:

• Detailed character customisation with upgrade options
• You can tame and ride animals to explore faster
• Online social interaction with other players

Things to note:

• Only one game mode available
• Requires a constant internet connection

5. MergeCrafter

MergeCrafter mixes Minecraft-style crafting with merge mechanics, similar to match-3 games like Candy Crush. The game has a light story where you help a group of travellers stranded on a mysterious island called Runaria.

After a bandit attack, the travellers hide in different areas. Your job is to open these areas again by completing merge puzzles. The merge system works by combining items like tree shoots, seeds, and wood to make new objects. The higher the merge level, the better and more useful the items become.

You can also craft tools like axes, pickaxes, and shovels to cut trees, mine, and unlock new areas on the Runaria map.

What I like about this game:

• A unique mix of merge puzzles and Minecraft-style crafting
• A light adventure story that makes the game more fun
• The island of Runaria has surprises in every area

One thing to note:

• Some merge levels can feel repetitive if played for too long
