Minecraft Games to Build and Mine

Block-based games fill this category: you break them, stack them and leap between them. In some, a single misstep puts you right back at the beginning. In others, which work as sandboxes, you can put together a plane, a house or an entire island, and a handful throw in zombies or traps that come after you as you build. They call for steady hands when something charges at you, patience with jumps, and some thought about where each block should go.

If jumping appeals to you, and then seeing your creation take off, give Obby: Mine, Build, Launch a go. Survival Island suits those who prefer building at an easy pace and staying alive. Obby Prison Craft Escape combines leaping with breaking out of a cell. Pick one to begin with, and should a jump prove too tough, attempt it once more; it tends to go better the second time.
