DG: You know, I’m not normally a fan of rehashed clone games. The fact is that any gamer who has spent more than a dozen hours online knows that feeling when he or she sees yet another game that uses mechanics or designs that we’ve all seen a hundred times before. So, when I stumbled across Survivalcraft, an obvious clone of Minecraft: Pocket Edition, I was hesitant. I’ve also learned that a game can look like another yet be its very own creation, so I bought it and started the download. In the notes about the game, the developer literally gives credit to Minecraft and asks players to purchase it, so that gave me more confidence.

Oh slideshows we meet again... How much I hate you.
Great example of the domination of clones both the App stores. The last option shouldn't even be on that list though, it's like a double clone and it's awful.
GameWoof listed the 5 games like Minecraft for Android. These similar games to Minecraft are good alternatives if you are low on budget and just wanted to try something new or if you think the Pocket Edition lacks a few features from the original version.
TA writes: Right now, Minecraft - Pocket Edition is just a pretty block-building game. It's getting better, and I'm really rooting for it to, but it doesn't give me any sense of adventure. Survivalcraft does, and it does it in impressive fashion for a mobile device. For that reason and the reasons listed above, it's the mobile Minecraft that I'm sticking with.
