Minecraft clone

A Minecraft clone (or also known as "fake" Minecraft) are duplicated various versions of the original Minecraft, developed by various developers. These are only available for Android and IOS users.
As of today, most of the Minecraft clone apps now use the Nether update. Before, they used an unknown old pocket edition version.
Some clones also add things that aren't on Minecraft, like Craftsman, that only adds a pillar with a missing texture and some mini-bosses.
== Purchase and availability ==
Unlike the original Minecraft, these Minecraft clones can be downloaded/purchased on Google Play (Android) and Apple App Store (IOS & iPadOS) for free.
As these fake Minecraft apps are free to download, they might serve as an alternative to the original Minecraft or users that are decided not to purchase the original game after trying out the trial version of its original counterpart.
== Gameplay ==
These Minecraft clones almost share the same game modes and difficulties as its original counterpart. These include:
; Game modes
* Creative - Players can have unlimited resources and grants the ability to fly.
* Survival - Players must gather/collect resources and battle with mobs in an effort to survive.
* Adventure - Similar to survival mode, but the difference is players cannot destroy or place blocks unless they have certain tools.
; Difficulty
* Peaceful - No hostile mobs spawn, hunger bar doesn't deplete and health regenerates quickly over time. Evokers and vindicators still spawn on Peaceful difficulty that time, but don't attack players in Survival mode and still attack the villagers, iron golems, and wandering traders.
* Easy - Hostile mobs spawn and deal 0.5x the damage they would on normal difficulty, hunger bar depletes and drains down to health points.
* Normal - Hostile mobs spawn and deal normal damage, hunger bar depletes and drains down to health point.
* Hard - Hostile mobs spawn and deals 1.5x the damage they would on normal difficulty, hunger bar depletes and drains all health, killing the player in starvation.
=== Others ===
* Textures are different from its original counterpart.
* The original death screen is still currently in use that time.
* Most of the blocks, mobs, entities, and other features from the present original counterpart still doesn't exist that time.
* Spectator mode still doesn't exist that time.
* The original Bad Omen () effect still triggers a raid that time prior to 1.21 update of its original counterpart.
** Thus, raid is the only ominous event that time as Raid Omen still doesn't exist.
== Trivia ==
* Minecraft clone apps might serve as an alternative to the original Minecraft or users that are decided not to purchase the original counterpart after trying out the trial version of the original counterpart.
* As of today, most of these apps use the Nether update.
** One example uses the 1.20 update, which is almost near to the 1.21 update of the original counterpart (In this case, Craftsman 5 became the first Minecraft clone to reach the Trails & Tales (1.20) update.)
* Most of the clone apps contain in-game advertisements (which can be denoted with "Contains ads" in the app info in Google Play Store), which might make the player very mad while trying to build something or fighting mobs (especially hostile mobs).
** Playing offline by turning off the WiFi is the only way to remove the in-game ads, as these ads only pop out when playing online and most of the apps do not offer in-app purchases.
** Playing offline removes the in-game ads, but also removes the option to play online.
* The technique of playing or creating such clones is sometimes called software piracy, and is famously known for being 100% legal in all jurisdictions.
