MCreator and several other WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) style editors exist for Minecraft, yes. There are even educational versions of Minecraft that teach programming beyond using simple WYSIWYG tools, geared toward young children, officially made by MS.
MCreator is amazing but it still Minecraft. You can create your own items that are crafted with your own recipe or paint a mob to look like soemthing else. Again anyone suggesting Minecraft doesn't understand that Roblox isn't a Minecraft clone. It makes no sense to compare a single game to a platform. "Don't play Nintendo, play Minecraft." ???
It's like suggesting that kids shouldn't play Steam games because there's Minecraft and they can make their own modded Minecraft.
Here are some Roblox Games:

It's a mod for minecraft that gives you easy to use modding tools inside Minecraft, the way Roblox's tools work inside of Roblox. "It's still Minecraft" like the things made in Roblox aren't still Roblox? 🤨
A platform isn't a game. Minecraft is one game. Steam hosts many games. Nintendo hosts many games. There are Minecraft clones as games on the Roblox platform.
Recommending Minecraft as a substitute for Roblox is the same as recommending Minecraft as a replacement for Nintendo.
I don't think you understand the full breadth and width of what modding is and can accomplish or what a platform actually is. Roblox is a single game as much as Minecraft is. Both can be used to make something entirely different than the original by modding it. Most games with mod tools or openly available source code can.
I've never seen a Minecraft mod that didn't look like Minecraft. There are all sorts of rendering mods, game play changes, but its still Minecraft.
Do you really not understand the difference between Nintendo and Minecraft? You've never played any game other than Minecraft ever because you can mod Minecraft?
come on.
Have you really looked? There are plenty of mods that change the game to be completely unrecognizable as a mod for Minecraft both in how they play and how they look.
I am confident that you do not understand the difference if you think Roblox is like Nintendo. 🤦♂️
Show me one. I posted several pictures above. Show me a Minecraft mod that is unrecognizable as Minecraft.
You have a platform confused with a game.
Here's another screen shot of a roblox game:

I asked if you play anything other than Minecraft. Because according to you Minecraft can be any game.
