Who it's for

RealmCraft is for players who want a free, block-building game similar to Minecraft but are unable or unwilling to pay for the official version R3R9R11R16. It might appeal to those who enjoy creative building and exploration despite the game's flaws R33R36. It is not for players who expect a polished, ad-free experience, or a complete replica of Minecraft's features and quality R1R5R6R13.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, with a significant portion focusing on the game being a 'rip-off' of Minecraft and issues with ads and bugs. While some positive reviews exist, they are fewer and often highlight the game's similarity to Minecraft as its main strength. The lifetime rating of 4.5 suggests a more positive historical sentiment, indicating a recent decline in user satisfaction.

  1. [R3] 5/5 · GB Only missing one thing...: This has to be the greatest game that isn't minecraft. Its only missing one thing tho.. redstone (and everything else to do with it) Everything else from the original minecraft is in the game, but not redstone. why? why cant u put this into the game? Apart from that, this is the best copy of minecraft on the app store. even though this game doesnt have redstone, this
  2. [R9] 5/5 · GB A perfect game: If you want to get Minecraft you might as well just play this game
  3. [R11] 5/5 · GB Representation Of Perfect Free Minecraft: I played this game quite a while ago, before I had the official Minecraft. I’ve got to say… this is the best free Minecraft you could ever get. I used to think that it didn’t update, because I couldn’t see anything new, ever. However, I’ve just seen the newest patch notes.
  4. [R16] 3/5 · GB Nice but kind of bad: I love the textures and stuff but it’s still kind of plain should I say? Anyways this is a nice game but bad ripoff but it’s still free and my mom doesn’t wanna spend money on games except Minecraft Xxx
  5. [R24] 5/5 · GB Good but delete this feature: I love that its the same as minecraft but what block you look at it goes in your inventory stuff like grass
  6. [R33] 5/5 · GB I love this game: I love this game because when I’m sad I always play it
  7. [R36] 5/5 · GB Good game: This game is my favourite and the music is sooo calm I love it
  8. [R55] 5/5 · GB Good I love it: It is a good game but I can’t play with my brother on survival so could you please add it soon and when is it going to happen? And add an end but it is a very good game I love the mini game maps and I forgot I love the crossbow it is very powerful and If you have a 2d game please let me know
  9. [R120] 3/5 · CA Good: Good unlike most rip offs they have a neather portel im the ender dragon but multi player has ads single player doesn’t
  10. [R184] 3/5 · CA Ok game: This game is fine the pros are build mode multiplayer and bedwars the cons are to much ads no adventure or spectator and finally no pillagers and outpostes SO ADD MORE UPDATES QUICK After a lot of updates there will be 0 cons
  11. [R5] 2/5 · GB Not that good: If you go on to survival mode it will not let you craft and there are lots of annoying adds and it’s a bit hard to play . I do not recommend.
  12. [R6] 4/5 · GB Good game but….: The game is goood but every button is a ad🥱🥱🥱
  13. [R40] 4/5 · GB Noice game: I love this game so try it sometime, BUT it’s soooooo many adds
  14. [R69] 1/5 · GB ADS ARE CONSTANT: I open up inventory. Ad. I download a world. Ad. Even like half a minute after closing the inventory, the stupid, meaningless advert of the dog on a boat pops up. Not to mention I am so confused. I cannot ride a horse nor train it. No tutorial, so it’s all just guesswork. The fandom doesn’t help either. Needs much improvement. NOT AMUSED.
  15. [R4] 2/5 · GB Bad review: At first i thought it was a nice game not bad at all but after around one day it just would not let me play like i join the game for five seconds and it just kicked me out no message or nothing it just kicked me out
  16. [R13] 2/5 · GB The knockoff,daft,copycat version of Minecraft: The game is buggy and the buttons are difficult to manoeuvre and the appearance of the game is too similar to Minecraft and the gameplay feels very different to Minecraft
  17. [R17] 5/5 · GB 🫨🫨🫨🫨: Literally they are bugs like I keep falling of my controls when I’m even moving it to the right or left and even I pulled to the left all the time so I hate it come you pls how fix it? I have auto jump.
  18. [R31] 1/5 · GB Jack: Every time we build it disappears and it is annoying
  19. [R48] 5/5 · GB Wow🤩🤩🤩🤩: Honestly this game has been addicting since I first played this game, and THE GAME HAS RETEXTURED IN A WAY THAT I LOOKS LIKE LITERAL MINECRAFT!!! I WAS SCREAMING WITH JOY WHEN I SAW THIS UPDATE AND PLS ADD MORE🥺🥺. Don’t listen to other’s saying it has too many ads because you could just turn off Wi-Fi then no ads.
  20. [R51] 1/5 · GB I don’t like the new update: Now....BECAUSE U UPDATED THIS GAME NO ONE PLAYS IT?WHY!? BECAUSE THE UPDATE IS SO DAMN UGLY!i used to play everyday and let me tell you when I say loads I mean lots of people used to play. But now because of this ugly update no one actually likes it therefore they do not really want to play. Overall I guess it’s a good game. But I’m gonna have to take my ratings down.
  21. [R56] 1/5 · GB They ruined it: I used to absolutely love this game but since the update it’s terrible and I’ve deleted it because its laggy and doesn’t look as good as it did plz put it back to how it was if possible because it just not great now
  22. [R58] 4/5 · GB Good but..: Leading animals should be improved!!! They should stay a lot closer to you and not come off the lead if the hit a block! They should be easier to lead while riding a horse too! I also think you should be able to walk, trot, canter and gallop on a horse not just canter! Edit: the new update is awful I hate it now! The “green wool” is brown and I hate the grass and all of it! Just make
  23. [R30] 3/5 · GB some thing very stupid going onto my nerves: Yes yes I have reviewed about this game before but something U NEED TO CHANGE AND RESPOND TO PLZ-TNT ISN'T PLACEABLE SO WHATS THE WHOLE REASON OF TNT?- SECONDLY U CANNIT MAKE NETHER PORTALS AND THERE SHOULD BE A UPDATE OF NETHER PORTALS IF UR TOO LAZY OR STUPID TO DO THIS MY KAREN FROM MY IMAGINATION WILL COME TO REAL LIFE AND SUE U😡. RESPOND IR ELSE
  24. [R1] 1/5 · GB It was good until I downloaded real: First before I had real minecraft It was good but now it is trash just install the real one
  25. [R21] 1/5 · GB It’s bad: It’s just a knock off minecraft adds as well what are you thinking
  26. [R22] 5/5 · GB This is only five star to get your attention: Minecraft is better: [also what is it with the controls they are so hard to use and you can’t do parkour with them]
  27. [R61] 1/5 · GB Rip off.: So I downloaded this game to see what it would be like since it popped up in my App Store and I wasn’t expecting it to be great even downloading it, as soon as I went into creative you could just tell it was a major rip off of minecraft and it took me a while to even get rid of the block and you can’t even turn around! I wouldn’t suggest the download, don’t waste your time.
  28. [R57] 2/5 · GB Waste of battery 🔋: It is usually alright but it keeps on glitching and It take up all my battery another thing is I spent half of my battery builds a train track and loads of housers then they started dissolving and I lots all my horses 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 then all the building a vanished 😡😡😡🤯🤯🤯
  29. [R96] 1/5 · GB Absolutely glitchy: Its soo glitchy because when you place a block it doesn’t appear for a few seconds and it freezes when ur in bed wars so minecraft is probably very better than this and I’ve played other games and they don’t glitch
  30. [R157] 3/5 · CA Never Break Blocks: Stupid Game it never makes me to place blocks upgrade this tarnished version I liked the early version
  31. [R18] 3/5 · GB minecraft but even less realistic: this is incredibly unrealistic, the mobs only spin and walk with hardely any code used, i deeply suspect you of stealing some minecraft code in areas also a lot of content is directly the same as minecraft which is why i suspect
  32. [R158] 3/5 · CA Too many mobs: I get absolutely destroyed ,and some mobs that spawn at night can’t burn in day.Try not to put too many overwhelming features,just because you have more features doesn’t mean it is batter
  33. [R77] 3/5 · GB Meh: Takes to long to mine
  34. [R197] 3/5 · CA Why am I so glitchy: It’s a good game but it’s so slow and glitchy please fix the problem!
  35. [R46] 4/5 · GB Realm craft costs no money at all: I absolutely love REALM CRAFT! Realm craft costs no money and it’s similar to Minecraft although I do prefer Minecraft but I love how it’s free to save your money. I’m also very happy that you have got rabbits in the game because I absolutely love rabbits and I pretend the little rabbit is my pet. Now, Onto the negative side of realm craft: I tried looking aroun
  36. [R23] 5/5 · GB Great game: RealmCraft is a great game and it has some great updates but there’s only one problem there’s no cherry blossom realms and it needs more structures and there needs to have more updates 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😄😄😄😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😃😃😃😃😀😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😀😀😀😀😀😀😃😃😃😄😄😄😄😁😄😁😃😃😀😃😄😁😄😃😀😃😃😄😄😁😄😃😀😃😄😄😁😄😃😀😃😄😄😁😁😄😁😄😃😀😃😄😄😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😄😁😀😀
