Best Free Minecraft-like Games

It is unlikely that today there is at least one person who has not heard about the game Minecraft. Even people who are not interested in games know a lot about this sandbox game. It’s hard to believe that this game was created by just one person — Marcus Percuss. Moreover, it was originally an indie project inspired by the miner simulator Infiniminer. From 2009 until the official release in 2011, the beta version of the game was absolutely free for all players. Now you need to pay to enjoy the game. But what if you don’t have money or you already have Minecraft and you want to diversify your leisure for free? Then this selection of games is for you.

Minetest

Minetest is one of Minecraft’s most famous open clones. It is written in C ++, which greatly improves the performance of the game. Minetest’s entire world is made of cubes in low resolution. In the game, as in real life, you can do anything you like, but in order to survive in any case, you need to build shelters from monsters. Cut trees, go to the mines and get minerals (for example, iron). Using the materials that are in the game, you can rebuild the whole world. The limitation of the height structures in Minetest is 3100 blocks, the physics of liquids is the same as in Minecraft, but stones cannot be crushed with bare hands. The author of the game pays more attention to the stability of the game, and quite a large community is already engaged in the addition of various “chips”.

Realmcraft

Realmcraft has won the hearts of millions of children around the world with its colorful pixel graphics and all the best features of Minecraft. The game can be considered a simulator of a human who finds himself in an unfamiliar world and is forced to get everything with his bare hands. At first, the game world seems naive and safe, but after sunset, aggressive mobs will appear and try to kill your character. Therefore, to survive you will need to build shelters and hunt animals to get food. And as soon as you feel bold enough for adventure, you can go to Nether, where battles with numerous skeletons and more strong mobs are waiting for you. Thanks to the procedural generation of the world, each Realmcraft walkthrough won’t be like the previous one, so this game will never get boring.

Terasology

Terasology is a mixture of Minecraft with Dwarf Fortress and Dungeon Keeper (God simulator games). Due to the variety of blocks and unlimited ways of their location, you can create a unique landscape and architecture. In addition to the standard functions of building and collecting resources, in this game you can add creatures to whom you can give tasks to obtain resources or build something.

Creativerse

Creativerse is a cubic MMO sandbox in which you, as in the classic Minecraft, can build and fight with monsters. A feature of this game is that the worlds are NOT procedurally generated, which will allow you to leave your mark on one of the existing worlds. If you don’t really like to walk between worlds, then you can build yourself a whole network of portals or even get your own teleport to quickly return to friends.

The Blockheads

The creators of The Blockheads did not try to hide that their creation is a clone of the famous Minecraft, only 2D. The game is designed for mobile devices and has a simple and intuitive interface. Explore the mines, pump your character, do and build whatever you want. The game has multiplayer, so when you get tired of exploring the world yourself, join the collective game.
