Planet of Cubes Craft and Mine is a free-to-play Minecraft-like game that offers creative building and multiplayer mini-games, but it is heavily criticized for excessive ads, lag, bugs, and a pay-to-win feel.

Free + in-app purchases seen up to $41.99 4.5★ lifetime (37,942) since 2014

Planet of Cubes Craft and Mine is a free-to-play game that allows creative building and social interaction, often compared to Minecraft. While some users enjoy its multiplayer aspects and creative potential, many reviews highlight significant issues with excessive ads, lag, bugs, and a perceived pay-to-win model, making it a questionable value even at no initial cost.

Free vs paid

The free version of Planet of Cubes Craft and Mine provides access to creative building, multiplayer mini-games like Sky Wars and Hunger Games, and the ability to make friends R3R50R52. However, the free experience is significantly hampered by a high volume of intrusive ads R7R13R35R53. There are also complaints about the removal of features like spawn eggs and single-player survival mode, which were previously free . Paid elements include changing your name R23, purchasing items like diamond swords R65, and skins R45. Some users report that the option to earn no ads for free was removed, now requiring real money R239. The game is also described as "money hungry" with costs for "literally anything" R119.

  1. [R7] 1/5 · US .......: This game has way too many ads. Also it's a super duper ultra mega million gazillion billion ripoff of Minecraft
  2. [R13] 4/5 · US Great Game!: I love to play games with my friends and when I saw this game, I thought that it wouldn’t be my favorite, but it was worth a try. I was completely wrong! This game is great and it is doesn’t lag. It just has one problem, like most games; too many ads. I hope this was helpful!
  3. [R35] 1/5 · US These annoying adds! REMOVE IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!: I want u to remove all ads there are annoying and I will cry. without wifi didn’t work, that’s a rip-off Minecraft!
  4. [R53] 3/5 · US Ok but,: I have a few points to say. First the game is good but some of the players play too much. You could just start playing and get killed by someone in enchanted diamond armor. Second of all, it soaks up so much of your battery. I play on iPhone and after I open the app I lose about 1-3%. Then after playing for 10 minutes I recorded losing 13% of my overall battery. So if you want this game b
  5. [R73] 2/5 · US Not like Minecraft in a OK way.: This game is not like Minecraft, but it is OK.
  6. [R119] 1/5 · US Why does this exist?: I'm honestly disappointed with the fact that you say, "we don't do any copying" the game is literally Minecraft but worse and with terrible textures. This game is completely money hungry and doesn't care about what the actual players buy. The ads are insane, and it costs money for literally anything. Even though Minecraft costs money, I highly recommend it over this disgrace
  7. [R198] 2/5 · US Dude: Minecraft is way better I mean a lot of people wanna do a ripoff of Minecraft but really do not play this just play Minecraft.
  8. [R37] 1/5 · US Trash game: Super laggy way to many ads it’s mostly p2w and everytime they update the game all your items gets deleted. A week of work gone. This game is stupid
  9. [R65] 1/5 · US I hate this game: I bought a diamond sword then I died from a zombie I picked up all my loot but I didn’t get the diamond sword and it cost like 3 bucks
  10. [R239] 3/5 · US Nice game! A few bugs: Before you can earn no ads NOW IT COSTS REAL MONEY!! I Lost my Account THAT HAD A NEARLY MAXXED SWORD I lost all my loot JUST BECAUSE I LOST MY ACC, -•.°❁⁂✢⁑POSITIVE⁑✢⁂❁°.•, - Nice gameplay Good Color’s (unlike planet craft) Easy controlling
  11. [R134] 1/5 · US It’s the WORST GAME!!!!!!: So first, I saw a player with this super cool horse and u can ride it and it gos really fast and everything, so I looked at the shop and the horse needs 200¥ to get it, and I had 212¥ so I bought it.And the second the egg hatched I saw a horse, but it ran of and I couldn’t find it. It doesn’t listen to me and later I found out that I needed to buy the food for it or el
  12. [R45] 5/5 · US There be some questions I like to ask:: First of all, in the new Christmas update, why does every skin in the shop is soo expensive like 300 coins? Like I can’t even afford a single skin! (I like the game but I don’t like how you increased the price of skins and the fact that you changed some of the blocks textures in the game) But anyways that all for now. Bye!
  13. [R3] 5/5 · US Best game ever: I love it because it is a creative game!, and I love how I can make friends in this game,. And I will never delete this game even if I lose every single time, and rage quitting
  14. [R8] 5/5 · US Loving: Amazing game i love too play it with my friends and family
  15. [R12] 5/5 · US best game: this game has been the best for my child, he loves it, also it inspires kids to be creative
  16. [R24] 5/5 · US C.D.7070’s “Review”: This is one of the best games I’ve ever played. It’s so fun and I get to play with my family members while weBuild and have fun. I hope you guys have a lot more updates soon. This is “C.D.7070’s review”.
  17. [R5] 5/5 · US Asom: Sooo asom and fun egg wors is best
  18. [R23] 4/5 · US So fun would definitely recommend!!: In this game you can play all sorts of cool games such as: hide and seek, sky wars, and hunger games. One thing I would change about is to have a bit less adds and not have to pay to change your name. But I would definitely recommend trying this game out and have lots of fun playing with my friends and brothers!
  19. [R50] 5/5 · US Luv ittt!: I really like this game and I play it with my best friend all the time, we have a world called Pow Pow Pow (my friend came up with the name!) and we have underground tunnels and houses and I recommend visiting if you can! Also I love the games and the fact they added new ones like that guard your egg one, my favorite is definitely the hunger games and hide and seek because I’ve never wo
  20. [R52] 5/5 · US This is super **** fun: This game is so good. I love it. You can play sky war snowball, fight, battle wars if you’re a pro Minecraft player then you should download this game.
  21. [R39] 5/5 · US Small count of Toxic moderators, lots of people in the game good app: (Turn on parental controls option if you hate chat toxicity) Its been one year since the last time i played this game i play this game for building and very little pvp and one time i got to see the moderators or admin of the game and they banned 3 people for no reason they said say goodbye to your cube craft life to a guy who sp
  22. [R51] 5/5 · US This is a good game for your child.: Hello, if you want your child to play safe and appropriate games,this is for you.Don’t believe me, it has parental controls.This game is so protective that it could blow your mind, for example (this is true) last year there was a hacker named “yeray. “ she could exploit and cheat. This game they immediately banned her.
  23. [R34] 3/5 · US My overall experience: When I first tried this out on FireTablet/iOS, I always found it to be a bit, buggy. It would crash sometimes, it would lag, even hitting entities seemed laggy. iirc I had textures on either the Fire or iOS, and the rain/thunder one time caused the app to stress itself out so much to the point where it crashed, and it did that frequently until I just never really had the spi
  24. [R139] 2/5 · US This game is a scam: This game is so laggy that it won’t even let me play and when I’m finally in the game it crashes
  25. [R194] 3/5 · US Glitch: Super glitchy I mean super glitchy
  26. [R31] 3/5 · US The problems…: Ok so my friend NotCrownXX & I have had some great experiences in this game but ngl once we got mc bedrock (I now also have Java) we kinda stopped playing the deletion of worlds after 15 days is frustrating and overall stupid. The only thing I really still appreciate is the technology texture. The fact that this game cannot be modded is disappointing.
  27. [R68] 1/5 · US Why I’m quitting: I was in the mansion and I had so much diamond gear with all my enchantments and everything. It took me weeks to get all it takes is for me to immediately crash. Then for someone to steal my stuff and all my work is gone it used to be a good game when I was a child but only because I couldn’t make it far enough to know what pain was like Edit: why I am probably quitting
  28. [R84] 3/5 · US PLEASE READ: This game is good. But I’m tired of the jerks that kill me and steal my stuff. They are acting like big jerks. They will friend me and then unfriend me just to mooch off of my stuff. Please add a private survival mode where you can invite friends and nobody else.
