Comparing differences between blockland/minecraft/(WALL OF TEXT WARNING)

[Taberone]

WALL OF TEXT WARNING. TL:DR? SCROLL DOWN!
Honestly, COMPARE the two games, and dont assume.
Here are some points to get you started if you think this is a ripoff of minecraft. The original title was "So you think this is a ripoff of minecraft, eh?" untill 12/19/2013

-Other than the building(Even that is different. Minecraft building is PLACING CUBES, while Blockland is placing bricks.), its different.

-Weapons work differently. Instead of spamming the mouse and looking like you are rapidly rubbing a sword against your leg like in minecraft, weapons can be guns, melee, whatever. The guns are not RESKINNED RAPIDFIRE BOWS. There can be variety in weapons. Some are raycast(hitscan), some are guns, some are push brooms. Also, weapons are not PIXELs. They are actually round.

-Blockland is "build it yourself. Be creative.", and minecraft is procedurally generated. Blockland does not have randomly generated terrain(unless you download a Return To Blockland addon) or randomly generated mobs/animals.

-Blockland came before minecraft and roblox. Sometime around 2004. Do some research, please.

-Vehicles. Im not talking about "Pig with a saddle reskinned as a car that you can drive. It wont go off a cliff 24/7 like actual saddled pigs", Im talking about actual vehicles like Jeeps or Tanks.(Although vehicle physics in BL are kinda screwy at high speed. It makes racing servers painful.)

-Eventing. Just place a brick, wrench it, do some awesome events*.

-Addons. No need for WinRar or 7Zip to add addons, and no need to delete META-INF or keep backups incase you install an addon wrong and cripple your minecraft. Just find where you installed BlockLand, go into addons, place it, done. No risk of seriously screwing up unless you start deleting files that are obviously not addons.

-Servers. There is a server browser.

-Gamemodes. They range from Slayer to Super Murder Mystery Master.

-The builds the community makes. They range from unoriginal(using default builds and turning them into deathmatches) to original(one of a kind servers that have you fight in space stations. But those are rare).

-Default builds. From Afganistan to Building 6, to even a recreation of the Bedroom maps.

-Maps. Before V21, BL had actual maps. Some of them were impressive, like GSF Ghosts maps that looked like someone spent a lot of time building a entire city out of bricks. Even the default ones were pretty, like the bedroom, slopes, the kitchen....

-Health. No ten hearts here. Its an invisible lifebar(unless you get an addon). The only way to tell how injured you are is how red the screen is, and the pain emotes based on size.

-Playertypes. Invincible playertype? 1000 hp playertype? Slow/Fast playertype? Those are some examples.

-Graphics, again. Everything is not BLOCKLY like in Minecraft. Some things are round, the guns aren't blocky pixels vaguely shaped like guns...... Massive difference.

TL:DR This wall of text should prove that this is not a minecraft/roblox ripoff/clone/copy. If you guys have any good points I should add, or mistakes I should fix, tell me.

Even then if any default base game content is missing when you try to start the game, the Blockland launcher will download any missing files before you can play.

You forgot that Blockland was started in 2004. While Minecraft started in 2009.

My eyes would like to thank you for spacing out your post.

I was playing blockland before it were cool.

[Anoteros]

it's still another sandbox type building games hitting steam in the past few months. Nothing new nothing innovative.
Just like the plethora or indie platformers and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mmorpgs.

Minecraft was a copy of an earlier game, I believe.

Not a copy but it was inspired by Infiniminer: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Infiniminer
