Regarding the gameplay, the two games are completely different. Dungeons is a dungeon crawler, which means that the goal of the player is to progress and adventure through multiple stages until they get to an end point. Players will have to face many hostile mobs and bosses along the way. And they cannot build or mine in Minecraft Dungeons.

Minecraft is a sandbox game, which allows players to do what they want without sticking to a linear path. Players can decide to defeat the bosses or just sit around and fish all day. They also have the unique ability to completely alter their environment, hence the sandbox name.

Both of these genres are extremely enjoyable, and each has its own pros and cons. Players who want a fast-paced gaming experience will prefer Minecraft Dungeons, and players who want to do things at their own pace will enjoy Minecraft.
