Cube Creator 3D from Big John Games is arguably one of the better Minecraft clones available on the 3DS eShop right now. If you’re located in North America you may have already experienced it. If not, perhaps now is a good time to consider downloading the title with the latest update arriving this week.
Big John Games has added a lot of new content including two new environments with new enemies & blocks:
Fantasia features massive multi-colored trees sprouting from a rolling landscape, and Inferno boasts a lava-filled atmosphere surrounded by a rocky, mountainous terrain with floating basalt islands above.
The two new environs also feature new enemies; they will certainly make your survival quest more challenging. With regard to blocks, we’ve added three new block types: marble, basalt (volcanic rock), and purple leaves. In Survival Mode, you’ll be able to collect these other block types: light and dark tree wood (wood planks crafted from tree wood), and coal and diamond ore (coal and diamond crafted from ore).
In addition to this are eight new texture packs, new music, ladders and several bug fixes along with improved performance:
This update also incorporates the use of ladders. Players can now ascend walls with the use of ladders, instead of having to build steps/stairs. Grass will now spread to other nearby grass in the update. Liquid cube editing is also enhanced: water and lava can be targeted/stacked/removed directly.
The performance of the game is improved with the update. Players can fly faster and add/subtract cubes faster in Creative Mode. Players can now customize their Survival Mode campaign; they can select which four worlds they’d like to explore at the start, including saved Creative environments. Players will also be able to transfer worlds between Creative and Survival Mode. Loading and modifying worlds is also enhanced. Finally, several bug fixes will enrich gameplay via the free v1.1 update.
Cube Creator 3D arrives in Europe later this month on the 20th.
If you already own Cube Creator 3D, let us know in the comments if you are excited for the arrival of Version 1.1. If you’re still on the fence, tell us if you would consider downloading it after the latest update.

cool. I might get this some time mostly beacuse the company isn't owned by M$. Damn M$ runining everything good.
Hopefully we get a demo in Europe too.
I don't have the game but the more it can get improved the better and hey I might buy it if the updates fix major issues I have.
Can't wait to be able to manipulate water cubes.
I still need to pick this up.
@Uberchu Microsoft goes through waves of disaster and innovation in my experience, but what exactly is Microsoft ruining in relation to Minecraft. Looks like the game is finally going to move forward after at least of year of stagnation.
Just funny to read your comment as Microsoft is on a major upswing lately with Windows 10 being a nice highlight and turning to services and support across platforms rather than draconian OS-centerd control.
Sounds good to me, I need to play this more. I have these huge ideas to build a huge city I just need to get going on it
This sounds a lot better. To be honest, I wanted to buy this at the introductory price but I wasn't confident if the updates would really come. I'm starting to think I will be buying this at the higher price now, but that's fine. Being wrong here is a good thing.
@aaronsullivan Sounds like Nintendo - waves of disaster and innovation!
It's really interesting that even though it is a quite a direct clone of Minecraft, these devs are really doing a good job and getting rewarded for their copycat work, since Microsoft and Mojang are not interested to earn a lot of cash on the 3DS (and Wii U) with an official Minecraft version.
If I got it correctly this game has been in the top of the chart in the eShop so sales must have been quite good.
It's cool that they did it since MS and Mojang were not interested and dropped the ball.
A-A-Awesome! i cant wait for it!!!
does this update inculde internet?
prop not
Does anyone know when this update will be available in Europe?
