Block Craft 3D offers a creative building experience where players can construct villages and explore user-made worlds.

Latest update · v3.42.1

What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

Bugfixes and Optimizations

Recurring themes

Excessive Ads negative
A pervasive issue, with users reporting ads appearing every few minutes, upon opening menus, or after completing actions. Some ads are considered inappropriate for the game's target audience, and users report ads taking them out of the app.R1R3R6R8
Crashes & Bugs negative
Many users report the app crashing frequently, especially after recent updates, making the game unplayable. Other bugs include builds despawning, inability to scroll in menus, and issues with Wi-Fi connectivity.R2R7R16R53
Minecraft Comparison negative
Block Craft 3D is widely seen as a 'rip-off' or 'copy' of Minecraft. Users are critical of misleading ads that use Minecraft footage and express disappointment that the actual game lacks the features and depth of Minecraft, often recommending buying Minecraft instead.R5R13R15R18
In-App Purchases/Gems negative
Many desirable features, such as flying, furniture, animals, and certain blocks, are locked behind gems or in-app purchases. Users find gems expensive and difficult to earn, making the free experience limited.R15R21R23R29
Gameplay & Content mixed
While some enjoy the creative building aspect, others find the game boring, lacking in content (e.g., mobs, food, diverse environments), and repetitive. There are also complaints about janky controls, villagers getting in the way, and automatic building features.R11R12R24R25

Who it's for

This game is for young children or players who want a free, simplified building game similar to Minecraft but cannot afford the paid version R15R42. It is not for players seeking a deep, ad-free, or bug-free experience, nor for those who expect it to be a true Minecraft alternative R45.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, particularly regarding ads and crashes, which contradicts the developer's 'Bugfixes and Optimizations' notes. The high lifetime rating suggests a more positive past, but current sentiment is critical.

  1. [R4] 5/5 · US Wonderful and yay pride month: I love how it has a little playable section in one of the ads with pride month flags that you can make and then you get to choose a different kind of flags and then you actually play and it’s really good there’s like yes there’s a lot of ads but it’s easy to build. It’s fun to go to like all the parks other people make and you could also get Self build with some gems
  2. [R48] 5/5 · US Fun: This game is so fun I can make a McDonald's and other big and fun things! ദ്ദി>ᴗ<)🎀✧
  3. [R51] 3/5 · GB Block Craft 3D Crafting Game: Fun, creative construction!
  4. [R56] 4/5 · GB Great but…..: I love this game you get to build so many different things but the villagers just get in your way when your trying to build and you have to purchase so many different blocks with gems it’s annoying but other than that the games great and I would recommend it
  5. [R13] 5/5 · US Awesome: It is just like Minecraft but easier it is awesome I am you going to play this every day awesomeness awesomely out
  6. [R15] 5/5 · US Please read.: Now I have been playing this game since I was like six years old and you know it was pretty good but now that I got legit Minecraft, it is just an affordable yet cheating version of Minecraft. Reason why I say this? Well, you can build massive buildings with gems, but you only start with only a few and once you run out, there is no turning back unless you want to spend three dollars
  7. [R42] 4/5 · US Good but..: This is a very good game it is like another version of minecraft since minecraft cost alot and i love it but there is no furniture im pretty sure but if u want furniture u dont have to download it but i did!🩷

  9. [R1] 4/5 · US Lots of ads: Too many ads but fun
  10. [R3] 1/5 · US Inappropriate ads for kids: My daughter was playing with full parental controls on and a THC product ad came on. Not only is this content not to be targeted at children but this particular add included gummies for sexual euphoria. Absolutely inappropriate for a game rated to be ok for 4 year olds. I also have the ads to get gems setting switched of off and it is still an option. Would give ze
  11. [R8] 1/5 · US REMOVE THESE CHANGES!: This has been my childhood game I’ve had so many memories on this game with my cousins and siblings and it was never this bad until now. I get ads every couple of minutes, and there is also ads on the right side of my screen since I’m on iPad which they never gave us ads or had ads on our screen and the new “break time” popping up every couple minutes. This game is not the s

  17. [R21] 4/5 · US Why we need roller coasters: I wanna build a roller coaster. There’s a lot of things this is missing though. Why isn’t stuff in this for free
  18. [R23] 1/5 · US Ripoff: Ok I don’t know where to start oh I know I can’t fly with out paying and it is stupid and I hate this game
  19. [R29] 4/5 · US Terrible 😞: You have to buy animals or almost everything with gems aka your game money 💵 can you make it a little like Minecraft or Kawaii World in Kawaii World you don’t have to buy anything waste of time
  20. [R5] 3/5 · US It fine: Ok so it dose do what it says but the adds are so far of from what you do like you don’t make a zoo. Also all the adds that look amazing are in fact AI so I do not reccomend this game
  21. [R18] 3/5 · US Good but bad at the same time: I downloaded this game thinking it was like Minecraft -I play Minecraft-and trust me don’t let the ads trick you this is not like Minecraft,yes it does have some perks like you can build atom of stuff and I deleted it but I still remember this game but I already know it’s a scam.
  22. [R35] 3/5 · US Iffy: I would give a five but the ads for this game are fake and I wish you could do. Multiplayer and have friends on there 😪🥴😀🤮
  23. [R37] 2/5 · US Ok: It is good but is nothing like the add. It is also really hard to get the furniture. I recommend getting Minecraft if you have the money to do it.
  24. [R7] 1/5 · US Terrible: It deleted my whole village
  25. [R11] 2/5 · US What in the world: I really don’t know the point of this game! It starts by making you make a tiny house and you can only have like 2 materials and the only fun part is that you can look and download other builds like a hotels and mansions and ya but you can even fly but you can jump like 5 blocks tall so I still don’t recommend this
  26. [R12] 2/5 · US Eh, could be better: Game has lots of ads every minutes, doesn’t have lots of stuff to do, and more stuff that needs improvement
  27. [R16] 2/5 · US Bad: Every time I rejoined my game my builds would despawn. I spent 5 hours on a build and the next day I joined, half of it was deleted. Too many ads, when I’m locked in building something….ad, same ads. This game wasted my time and my patience.
  28. [R6] 1/5 · US Remove: Adds
  29. [R24] 5/5 · US Pls add the future things and remove break time: Can you please add stone2,stone3,couch,trash can,bird,snail,lion,lioness,white horse,crocodile,pink flower,rose,flytrap,text sign,eater that can connect to the animals,a button,a interact button where you cuddle the animals,press button where you can press the button,green clay,brown clay,purple clay,and can you add the weathers like rain and snow,a
  30. [R25] 2/5 · US Bad: This game sucks. The graphics are weird the players look really bad and the cats “moo”. Get real Minecraft instead.
  31. [R17] 3/5 · US Adds: Add make it unplayable
  32. [R32] 2/5 · US To many ads: Every five minutes there’s an add when I start playing there’s an add
  33. [R41] 1/5 · US This is so bad: Im trying to report this cuz you literally copied a footage of someone building a house in minecraft but only with mods and decided to put it into your game that isn’teven minecraft just the temu version and its so bad bad bad bad bad.
  34. [R45] 3/5 · US Don’t fall for it: Guys not here to write or give review just to warn you do not download this game. It is a different game they use Minecraft for the ads so please delete this game and this is to the makers: make it like what it look like in least one of the ads stop lying to us PS do not add the angry mobs but make it multiplayer add chat, just do not make it to survival please and thank you
  35. [R50] 4/5 · US Love this: I just wish in the ads that you could play a little longer. Cause it will be like tap the block to use but then it will just go to the exit x screen. I feel like if you would let them like build a house, like tame a house, let them pick vegetables from the garden and have them pick which one they want to do.Also the skins should not be like 1,000 gems cause there kids and they don’t ha
