For fans of interactive sandbox worlds like Minecraft, Grindcraft - Idle Craft Sim can be an interesting find. In this simulator, instead of having to go out and explore and look for resources yourself, you will find everything on a single board.

Grindcraft is a clicker game; if you want to make progress, you have to click the resource icons repeatedly. You will start small, with only wood to harvest, but more craftable options will be unlocked the further you go. For another idle clicker game, you can try Tap Tap Run. 

Craft stuff by clicking

Developed by Playsaurus, Grindcraft - Idle Craft Sim brings crafting games to a whole new level. For starters, all of the action happens on a single screen; you are presented with a board filled with resource icons. Some of these you can harvest, while others have to be crafted. Displayed on the left part of the screen are different ways to collect resources, like chopping wood, mining ores, killing monsters, and more. 

In the game, you will be able to build houses and villages as well as villagers who can do the work for you. With their help, grinding for resources won’t have to be a manual task anymore. You can realign your focus away from clicking and instead come up with more complicated crafts instead. However, the game noticeably slows down once the auto-clicker feature is activated.

Crafting items can get quite challenging too, seeing as all of the resources and craftable items are lumped together. There are no categories that divide them, so you have to go back and forth to see which is required in crafting the object you want to create. Also, there are ads that randomly pop up every once in a while, but they shouldn’t be too much of a distraction.

More relaxed sandbox crafting game

With Grindcraft - Idle Craft Sim, you will experience a sandbox world in a different way. Far from the typical games that require you to explore a vast world and collect resources the hard way, this game lets you sit still and click on the screen instead. What makes it even better is that you can unlock an auto-grinding feature, too, so you can focus on crafting items more efficiently.
