Minecraft is one of the best-selling games ever made — but it costs money and needs an install. These browser alternatives give you the same creative and survival experience for free, right in your browser tab.
Eaglercraft (Minecraft 1.8 in the browser)
This is the real deal: actual Minecraft 1.8 compiled to run in the browser via WebAssembly. You get full survival mode, creative mode, crafting, mobs, and multiplayer servers. It's the closest you'll get to the original without installing it. Play Eaglercraft →
Paper Minecraft
A 2D side-scrolling take on Minecraft built in Scratch. It looks simple but has the full survival loop: chop wood, craft tools, mine ore, fight skeletons at night. Great for lower-end devices. Play Paper Minecraft →
Bloxd.io
A multiplayer voxel game with several distinct modes: survival, creative building, parkour, and a Hunger Games mode. The parkour levels alone are worth the visit. Play Bloxd.io →
Sandbox.io
Pure creative building in a shared voxel world. Drop in, claim a plot, and build whatever you like. Good for players who skip the survival loop and just want to build. Play Sandbox.io →
