As you progress, you can hire villagers and build structures (like a Blacksmith or Village) to automate the resource gathering, turning the game from an active clicker into an idle tycoon.
Grindcraft is a popular idle-clicker game inspired by Minecraft that focuses on resource gathering and progression through crafting. The "unblocked" version is frequently sought by students because it is hosted on various mirror sites that often bypass school network filters.
It is a browser-based game that runs well on low-end school Chromebooks and PCs.
