Planet Craft vs Block Craft 3D
Block Craft 3D is generally preferred for its building experience, despite both apps suffering from excessive ads and being considered Minecraft knock-offs.
Both Planet Craft and Block Craft 3D are free-to-play, Minecraft-inspired building games with in-app purchases. Block Craft 3D has a higher lifetime rating and more reviews, suggesting broader appeal, but both are heavily criticized for intrusive ads and being unoriginal.
Head to head
Pick Planet Craft if you are looking for a multiplayer experience with mini-games and are willing to tolerate some lag and player toxicity R53R32R23. It might also be a better choice if you are sensitive to extreme ad frequency, as its ad complaints, while present, seem slightly less severe than Block Craft 3D's R56R49.
Pick Block Craft 3D if you prioritize a relaxing building experience and don't mind frequent ads or paying for advanced features like flying . It also seems to have a slightly more stable core building mechanic, despite some glitches .
Evidence note: Both apps are frequently criticized for being 'Minecraft knock-offs' . Recent reviews for both apps are heavily skewed negative, primarily due to excessive ads and various bugs, which contrasts with their higher lifetime ratings. The free-to-play model with IAP for both leads to many complaints from non-paying users about ads and feature limitations.

- [R57] Planet Craft SO GLITCHY: I’m so sorry for this review but it’s true and I think Minecraft is WAY better than your game. Seriously I really can’t move in this game cause of the controls. Guys please play something else.
- [R11] Planet Craft Good but one thing: I love this game. It reminds me of my two favorite games: Minecraft and Terraria. The game design is amazing and some events in there are cool too. But it is sometimes way too laggy and if I reconnect in the middle of mansion raid, I lose every single thing! Plz developers fix this. But overall, this game is good and I recommend downloading it.
- [R31] Planet Craft I HATE IT: Why does it always have to say “disconnected” or “check your internet” it literally has the ads pop up on the top which does NOT SHOW UP IN THE PICTURES! It’s graphics are bad and WHAT HAPPENED TO THE AVATARS?! I have to jump to get off a block, can’t mine in survival, and the avatars look super bad. I’m done with this game.

- [R16] Planet Craft No ads today: Remove ads for free
- [R49] Planet Craft Bugs: Hello, I'd like the annoying YouTube buttons on the map removed because when you try to get rid of them, an ad pops up. Some ads don't let you return to the game, and there are many other bugs. I hope they're fixed. ALSO, AFTER I BOUGHT THE NO-ADS OPTION, THERE WERE EVEN MORE ADS. · translated

- [R63] Block Craft 3D Fun but so many ads: This game is really fun and relaxing, but there are too many ads. I can’t go 5 minutes without getting ad breaks. I’ve mostly stopped playing because of it.
- [R51] Planet Craft Good but too much adds: This game is great but far too much adds there are add blocks everywhere and inappropriate adds but it is fun people just ruin your houses
- [R98] Block Craft 3D I love your game!: I really like your game! I have a few future recommendations. First, make the fly ability free. Second, make it so two people can play at the same time on different devices. Thank you!
- [R29] Planet Craft I would rate it 5 stars but…: my map that I worked days on got deleted. It took days and the weird system deleted it even though players went in it every 4 or so days. My user is Colton and Vien roleplays and I’ve played this game for 6 years. Love this game. Thank you.
