WHY must you make a thread like this? We already have 50 other **** threads with the exact same question. Just stop, it does nothing but bring out a negative side in everyone.
You are asking this question in the Minecraft forum and expect a non-biased answer? Won't happen.

In Minecraft,
Looking for wolves,
No success.
Drown myself,
to respawn,
back at my house.
I turn around,
There is a pink sheep.
I punch it,
I got it's wool,
My mind goes ????
Why Minecraft? In my opinion Roblox has so many better things that it can't possibly not be better.
Here are examples
- No pain in the ass (And I mean PAIN in the ass) downloading of files to the game in Roblox if it is on the map then it can be used.
- Better looking structures can be made
- Scripting can make anything you'd like there are no limits like there are in Minecraft.
- Any mob and any weapon can be made
- Better looking graphics
- A lot more updates

Only downside is there are no single player maps.
I do think roblox is good, it DOES have potential, only to be trodden down by the devs and community, I like minecraft, though, if Roblox skyrockets into something thats better I WILL go to it, I won't sacrifice my time for a game that is worse, and to the one I quoted, they have had YEARS of development, sadly minecraft hasn't it has had about 2 years, so please, don't say its better out of pure ignorance, plus have you played Roblox? It's laggy!
And here is a comparison for your "list".
1- Pain in the ass? You download the file, and you place it in the saves folder, yeah real pain in the ass there.
2-In what way? you can make anything in MC, as you can in roblox, so I see no reason why you had to say this.
3- Have you BEEN to the MODDING section lately? There are limits, but there are limits for roblox, plus LUA scripting isn't friendly to newcomers, I speak from experience.
4- As with my point above, that falls under modding and scripting.
5-There is a sheen on EVERY block, plus you can get texture packs for MC, though I slightly agree with you on this.
6- I have to agree with you on this, but you have to wonder, are they updates from the devs? Or are they updates from the player that made the game? Think more, though they are updates none the less.
But, on number six, the mod makers of MC update all the time.
I've payed and played Roblox in the past, I made an awesome house, I love that you can shoot zombies with your buddies, but the community is garbage, I "used to tawk liek tis" before I came upon the MC community, I like this community, its good.
The sad thing is that I can remember the very first (or perhaps one of the first) Roblox threads on this forum, way back in 2009, and they were a lot more fair to it than people are now. Nowadays I see about 99% of the time "OGMGADA ROBXO SUCSKC" or some other practically unintelligible blather about why it's supposedly terrible. And while I usually disagree with Alcatraz (including about which is better), he's certainly right when it comes to being able to do more in Roblox.
Anywho, onto the normal apologetics:
1. Want to play someone's map on Roblox? They can link you to it, or you can go to their page and get to it, or you can search for it in the catalog, or if it's popular you can even look on the front page of Games. Want to play someone's map on Minecraft? They've got to upload it to a site, and then link you to it, then you've got to wait for it to download, then you've got to place it in an open space, and THEN you can open it. It's not necessarily "difficult," but it's much easier on Roblox.
2. Make me a block smaller than a cubic meter, please. Or one bigger. Or put a decal on a block. Or maybe just a material. Or any of the other zillion things you can manipulate with blocks in RBX you can't on MC.
3. You're right, MC is as customizable as RBX.
4. Right again.
5. Except there's a million different ways you can customize a block on RBX, like adding textures, decals, materials, transparency, reflectance, and so on, and if you want, you can even toggle features like bevels. Minecraft? Oh, right, giant cubes with varying degrees of texture quality. In this respect, Roblox is miles beyond Minecraft.
6. ...? The updates are certainly from the devs. As for mods, you already compared them to the ability to customize the game with scripting, so I don't think it would be wise to change your position and start comparing it to big game updates.
Roblox, horrible community, but I guess you can do more cutomization to the blocks you use
Minecraft, nice community, it's firm, not many trolls.
This is pretty much what the thread is saying.

All right i've been thinking.. when life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade, MAKE LIFE TAKE THE LEMONS BACK. GET MAD! I DON'T WANT YOUR DAMN LEMONS! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE?
Anyway, Roblox might have more features and whatnot but the community really does kinda stink.
Minecraft, to me, is definitely the much better choice. That's just my opinion, though.

I tried writing my signature in pen on my screen. It didn't work.
Computers scare me.
ROBLOX, gameplay-wise, is better. It gives you a lot more freedom. But it's very community dependant, and the community is terrible, which makes the game terrible. Minecraft has been better than any game made on ROBLOX so far, so Minecraft is better than anything you might see on ROBLOX for now, but again, ROBLOX has much more room for creativity and it would be possible to make a better game that Minecraft within ROBLOX.
Check out all the other threads I found in the first 10 pages of this forum that are about ROBLOX.

You heard that, green and red.
Shut up.Minecraft is EVEN better than that $h!t
Stop. Just stop.
I'll just do this

Minecraft, nice community, it's firm, not many trolls.

Fun forum about lamps
Why do we need ANOTHER thread about this?
But seriously, guys. ANOTHER ROBLOX thread?
Anyway, Roblox might have more features and whatnot but the community really does kinda stink.
Minecraft, to me, is definitely the much better choice. That's just my opinion, though.
Computers scare me.
tl;dr: I dunno.
There's yet more to come!
unless the average age of minecraft players dropped 5 years than no it isn,t a million things have to go wrong before that happens...
