dinkum is an unofficial collab between animal crossing and minecraft????

The graphics and characters are like animal crossing characters but the gameplay in general is a lot like minecraft

[it's a gabe]

Well, the gameplay *loop* is similar to Minecraft and any other survival game out there, but the gameplay in and of itself has nothing to do with Minecraft or other survival games primarily due to the lack of overall survival. Dinkum is much closer to a farming sim like Stardew Valley, but the farming sim aspects are dialed down considerably (to the point where you don't start out as a farmer) and the play area is a randomly generated world.

This is why people have been saying that Dinkum is a mix between Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. The life sim aspects found in ACNH specifically are much more prominent here than the farming sim aspects, though the structure of a farming sim is also quite prevalent. Survival elements, however, are non-existent, with the only notable similarity between this and survival games being how the world is structured and the gameplay loop of gathering resources.
