    The graphics are better than minecraft, the paint feature gives more options when building. There's blocks that aren't just cubes, and the blueprint functionality makes it easy to build towns or cities using community made builds.

    Although their art style is similar, it stops shortly after that. Cube world is not as focused on building and mining as Minecraft and centered more around killing monsters and collecting items.
