Brand impersonation — not the real site

Is mcraft.fun legit or a scam?
Open-source Minecraft web client clone on mcraft.fun that impersonates the official game on a low-trust TLD with an IP carrying 20 abuse reports.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The page presents itself as a browser version of Minecraft Java Edition with multiplayer support, openly describing itself as a clone of the official client. Only one antivirus engine flagged it malicious while browser blocklists stayed clean, but the hosting IP shows a 37/100 abuse score with 20 reports. Domain registration dates to September 2023 with no business entity behind it, and the site loads no login forms or obvious data harvesters. Evidence confirms it is a legitimate GitHub open-source project with no scam reports or complaints found anywhere. The combination of Minecraft branding on a non-official domain plus the IP reputation keeps the overall risk moderate.

- Do not interact with mcraft.fun
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Go to the brand's real site directly
Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.
- Never download or sign in here
Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.
- OpenReport the impersonation to the brand
Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.
