Source: https://games.fun/best-minecraft-games/. Checked November 4, 2026.

Minecraft itself is still the best Minecraft game, and it runs on phones. Next come Mojang's spin-offs, led by Minecraft Dungeons II, the minigame servers inside Minecraft, and Minecraft-style hits on Roblox. Here is each one and where it runs.

Where to play the original: [Minecraft games on minecraft.net](https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/games), [Minecraft on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/minecraft-play-with-friends/id479516143).

## Minecraft on mobile: free, offline and for kids

On a phone, the real pick is Minecraft itself. Android players can try it first: Mojang's free trial gives about 100 minutes in Survival and lists Android, not iPhone. Mojang says even the trial plays offline.

For kids, Mojang lists Minecraft as ESRB Everyone 10+. It is 9+ on the App Store.

Roam is an iPhone app with voxel games of its own: BLOCKSURVIVE (an empty hotbar and a tree to punch), Hold Till Dawn (build a wall, wait for the sun) and Raid the Hollow (a Minecraft Dungeons-style crawl). Roam is rated 13+ on the App Store.

What the iPhone version costs, and why there is no free one, is on [Is Minecraft free on iPhone?](https://games.fun/is-minecraft-free-on-iphone/).
