Can you create a game based on Minecraft looks (graphics)?

Hey guys, I'm thinking on a small project for the summer.
My biggest problem in game development is graphics. I know how to do some basic modelling so I thought, why can't I create a player model similar to minecraft (very cubic) and base my game on this type of graphics.

Can I do it? Will I get sued by Mojang/Microsoft?

Thank you

You can do it without being sued, if you check around you will see there is tons of games with a cubic / pixel look.

I know you did CubicVerse and all, the problem here is not getting sued, it's the players reception... I'm afraid of those "WHAT A MINECRAFT RIPOFF" comments, even if the game is a totally different genre..

You think it will get lots of bad rep?

[a_bertrand]

Yes you will, but you will anyhow, whatever you create, always receive bad comments. So why worry? Do whatever you want.

Yeah, you're right

Thank you
