Been wanting to start Minecraft programs, and everyone can’t purchase a copy of the game? There’s a few Minecraft dupes that are free to play in an Internet browser.
A free, online, multiplayer game in which players can choose a game mode in order to play together. The controls are simple for beginners and contain most of the features of the classic Minecraft game.
Paper Minecraft is a hyper-simplified version of the game. It lets you choose between Creative and Survival modes and is laid out like a platformer-style game, meaning your viewpoint is right to left, not 3D. A fun aspect to this version is that you can see through the ground below you to get a peak at what minerals are in the ground below. I don’t think you can play with others in the same world, but I could be missing how to activate that feature. Press E on your keyboard to open your inventory and build!
Start a randomized world that looks like the classic, original Minecraft without all the fancy updates over the years. (Some players love this aspect) It also generates a link to invite others to join the world that you’re in to play together, or you can play alone. Press B on your keyboard to open some blocks to play with. It looks like this is just a Creative builder/exploring game with no tools available, but a more experienced user might know how to access tools.
If anyone hears of similar games that are free, please let me know!
