It isn't really my thing, because I like having quest lines and some sense of direction. But if you like just building whatever you can dream up, then Minecraft is pretty awesome. A friend of mine made a ziggurat, with steps, torches on each plateau level, the works. I've heard stories of what has been built, things like a scale model of the Enterprise, and the entire city of Westeros.
So my statement is meant literally: "Minecraft is literally what you make of it."
I remember when I tried out the old demo, which was limited to 6 in-game days. I discovered on my second play through that you could craft things. A few things I just figured out logically, like an axe. Once I looked up a furnace, I thought "hey, I wonder if you can melt sand into glass". When it did exactly that, I knew I was hooked, big time.
Then there's redstone. I figured out an automatic melon farm and that kept me occupied (and fed) for a week or two of game time. There's so much to DO.
