Building comparison
head to head
Minecraft DungeonsvsMuck
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.
Minecraft Dungeons
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
Family-friendly dungeon crawler that swaps Minecraft's building for loot and hack-and-slash.
Muck
Optimization · Systems & Chaos
Racing the day cycle to stack items faster than the seed punishes you.
Minecraft Dungeons leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery); Muck leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos).

A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
