4Stack #25 — answers & breakdown

Friday, August 7, 2026

Two enormous children's platforms and the games that got compared to one of them. The purple group is a category of accusation rather than a genre.

The sixteen cards in this puzzle were: Creeper, Enderman, Ghast, Piglin, Adopt Me!, Brookhaven, Jailbreak, Doors, Hypixel, SkyBlock, Bed Wars, 2b2t, Terraria, Cube World, Trove, Vintage Story.

The four stacks

Minecraft mobs

Creeper, Enderman, Ghast, Piglin

Minecraft mobs. Piglin is the most recent, added in the 2020 Nether Update.

Roblox classics

Adopt Me!, Brookhaven, Jailbreak, Doors

Roblox's biggest experiences. Doors is the horror outlier among a list otherwise built on roleplay and pets.

Minecraft servers & modes

Hypixel, SkyBlock, Bed Wars, 2b2t

Minecraft servers and modes. 2b2t is the anarchy server that has run since 2010 with essentially no rules and has never reset its world.

Called "Minecraft clones" at launch

Terraria, Cube World, Trove, Vintage Story

Games labelled Minecraft clones when they launched, mostly unfairly. Terraria is the clearest case of the label not fitting — it is two-dimensional, combat-led and structured around bosses rather than building.
