The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that disrupt gameplay. Many players report that ads appear every few minutes, often leading to disconnections during multiplayer sessions and causing frustration when they die in-game as a result. While some users suggest turning off Wi-Fi to avoid ads, this limits the ability to play with friends, highlighting a significant conflict between monetization strategies and user experience. Overall, the consensus is that reducing or eliminating ads would greatly enhance the game's enjoyment and functionality.
- “This game is amazing! No ads, just play and play all day. There are a few bugs, but everything else is the best.”
- “I like that there's no ads and no virus! It's a great game, I'd say. I found a solution for no ads, but sadly it cannot be used for multiplayer.”
- “This is a very nice game, and if you are playing alone, turn off wifi or mobile data, then no ads. I love the fact that you can play with your friends, but you have to be in the same house. Overall, best game!”
- “The only problem is that this game contains too many ads, which is kind of irritating while playing multiplayer, as you will often get disconnected due to the same.”
- “I have given it three stars because of the ads; when I play multiplayer, there are so many ads, and many times I lose my materials because of ads while fighting creepers and zombies.”
- “This game is great, but I am unable to change my skin, and there is an absurd amount of ads. When the host of a server gets an ad, the whole server is kicked.”

- “The game is not good; I see in the ad that the game has security cameras, diving boards, and some animals do not have eyes. Please fix this because most kids download after seeing the ad, and they download and after opening, what they see in the ad and how the game is there. Please don't make fake ads, and the graphics are also confusing, and plants are also black.”
- “The graphics are bad; it doesn't even have the vibe. Minecraft is way better.”

The game's story aspect is largely centered around user experiences and personal narratives rather than a structured plot, with players sharing their adventures and frustrations, such as losing progress or encountering glitches.

Overall, while the game is enjoyable, players feel that a more cohesive story element could enhance their experience.
- “I love my world and houses and I made so many things in this game. I also played this game when I was sad. I was waiting for a new update and one day I saw the update and I was so excited to see what happened. When I entered the game, my world was in despair. I felt so bad and deleted the game, thinking about all the hard work I put into it. This is my story, thank you for reading this. Goodbye, and one message for the owner of this: please fix it, and then I'm going to think about giving you 5 stars.”
- “I love this game because it's easy to play and fun because you can join or play offline. I love it very, very much. Thank you, Craftmans! I want to share my story about playing this game...”
- “This is a great game, and the reason I have rated it four stars is because there should be an end portal so we can fight the Ender Dragon and the Wither. I have a story that will make you interested: my friend Kenneth said that while he was playing in the jungle, a Wither just appeared. It was so weird that I was surprised. Also, we can't even make the Wither, can we?”
- “It's just like Minecraft, but you should put a story mode.”
- “I don't like it because yesterday I was working on my friend's dream home for her birthday. Once I finished it, then the next day I logged on and all the floors were gone. It was a three-story house and I spent 5 hours making it for her birthday. She will log on and see nothing; it didn't save 5 hours of work down the drain, same with my other maps.”
- “I like this game, but can you remove the ads? This is my story: when I play multiplayer and I get ads, my friend loses connection, and when my friend gets ads, I lose connection. I'm sorry, I can't give you 5 stars.”

grinding

Players express a desire for more diverse activities beyond farming, such as trading and various villager jobs, similar to those found in Minecraft. While the game offers multiple tasks, including building and farming, many feel that it requires significant updates to enhance gameplay and reduce repetitive grinding. Overall, the current grinding experience is seen as lacking depth and variety.

- “It needs a sinking ship, ender pearls, eye of ender, iron golems in villages, villagers with jobs, composters for farming, brewing stands for clerics, furniture, mansions, pillagers, illagers, ravagers, raids, totems, outposts, mods, and myths to make it closer to Minecraft; that's how you lost one more star.”
optimization

The game is praised for its good optimization, running smoothly even on devices with as little as 3 GB of RAM, making it accessible for users with older hardware. However, players note that it lacks certain features from the complete version of Minecraft, such as the End Portal and the Ender Dragon, which detracts from the overall experience. While the performance is commendable, the presence of ads and missing content suggests room for improvement.
- “This is because Minecraft needs a high-end device to be played, and this game runs smoothly even on 3 GB RAM devices.”
- “A really old version of MCPE but with new things. Personal experience: nice graphics, nice skin options, good performance on old phones, LAN multiplayer support. A good alternative for Minecraft.”
- “Oh, this game has very nice performance, but there's no end portal. Please add an end portal because my friend and I are playing this game in survival mode and we didn't enjoy it fully without it.”
