What's a game like minecraft?

If you are playing minecraft because of survivalmode plus design your camp,
i sugest you should play Survival craft it has fewer blockheads(but not really big blocks) like characters, animals, lightsources, etc
features in this game that minecraft don't have:
* lights are flat
* but operated by battery
* instal wiring in your house
* switches
* creative mode lets you spawn many animals listed inyour free inventory, but not all animal can be founfd in creative, try survival!

but if you like it because of designing building and never wanted played survival(like i do) I suggest you should play(or should i say use) sweethome 3d with the use of sketchup, but unfortunately
beautiful design is made with knowledge of measurement, and the badthing is everything is frozen(unanimated) so this is for designing purpose only

If you have a steam account, look at the survival or simulation section. An example i could think of one be the game GRAV
