    Everyone likes Minetest but it is not compatible with Minecraft. I recently googled Minecraft web client and found mcraft fun which is also open source, worked insanely well in my case, and I wish there were more projects like this. Like compatible with Minecraft in any way: make some migrations tools or anything, please! But still a very interesting project with a large community though!

    SurvivalCraft has a unique feature where you can download and upload adventure maps with ease without needing to pay or use an external application. in general, it's pretty fun to play. However, minecraft is a bit more fun!

    It has awesome graphics, but not a very easy interface. Question: How do I play in creative mode?

    Not really similar to minecraft. This is a zombie shooter with basic looting, leveling, and building mechanics.

    Unturned is a cheap-looking kinda crap Zombie survival game. It's not even close to Minecraft, and I don't understand why anyone would think it was.
