Minecraft and Roblox are both old school games and, compared to today’s game, would be considered “mediocre”. However, which of the two is better? Minecraft came out on May 17, 2009 and was a huge hit all over the world. Roblox came out in 2006. Roblox is like Legos and Minecraft is like blocks. Preston Romack, a seventh grader at West, and likes Minecraft more than Roblox because “game mode, it has mini-games, it can play on Xbox, PC, and you can build and explore.”
Preston also doesn’t like that in Roblox, a player has to download studies, which can take hours. Preston finally states that “Minecraft is so much better than Roblox because… the features and extras in Roblox are so crappy and some of the games bore people while Minecraft has surprises and excitement around every corner.”
Advantages of Minecraft
The big advantage of Minecraft is the development and organizational structure. The game is continuously developed by a team of professional developers and content creators. This means that all mods and updates must pass the company’s quality standards. Not only is the game of consistently high quality, but parents don’t have to worry about inappropriate content or generally poor quality content.
Minecraft also allows your child to fully explore engineering concepts through building and world building. There are virtually no limits to what players can build in Minecraft when done to an appropriate scale. This means your child can practice creative and critical thinking skills as he builds new parts of the world.
Difference between Minecraft and Roblox
– Minecraft and Roblox are both incredibly popular sandbox-style games that let you build and create worlds around you. Minecraft is an open-ended world-building and survival game that lets you create a world from scratch using materials you can gather and populated by creatures called mobs, which can be killed. Roblox is the latest virtual world that brings players together through gaming. Roblox is so much more than what you’d get from Minecraft; Roblox is a game about doing and being whatever you want and making games you can actually play in a multiplayer environment.
– While there is no specific storyline in Minecraft, the immediate mission is to survive. Minecraft is all about building your empire which would require you to explore and find all the ingredients, ores, supplies and food you need to be able to create just about anything. The idea is to protect your defenses and survive the monstrous dark nights. Roblox sounds a lot like Minecraft but it’s so much more. Roblox lets you design any kind of video game or digital world you want – you can create games using bricks that look like Lego, or play the latest Madden if you want to become an NFL star.

What is Roblox?
Roblox is a free online gaming platform that allows users to create and code their own games and play games made by other users. This is one area where it differs from Minecraft, in that it’s not a game itself. Roblox Studio is the tool used to program the games and a virtual currency called Robux is used to purchase game items.
