I don't get it, what do you do?

Since it's in alpha and Notch quit his old job to exclusively work on this (and presumably eat and sleep), this game updates several times a week, with the additional secret Friday updates. He has announced that eventually/soon paypal will not be the only way to pay.

So this game is pretty much awesome. 50% off during the alpha. Here are some links:

"Minecraft is a sandbox construction game created by Markus Persson and is currently in pre release alpha. Minecraft development started around the 10th of May 2009, pre-orders for the full game started being accepted on the 13th of June. The game involves players creating and destroying various types of blocks in a three dimensional environment. The player takes an avatar that can destroy or create blocks, forming fantastic structures, creations and artwork across the various multiplayer servers in multiple game modes." - http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Main_Page
I'm not sure what else to say. You can play it for free for now. There's a singe player survival mode and a single player/multiplayer creative mode.
I played this game with my friend like everyday for about a week. He got indev, I have played it. It's pretty sweet. My favorite part is the multiplayer, I really like seeing what people made. Or when you can get about 10 people together to make sometime awesome. Only if there were servers full of people who didn't make hate symbols everywhere.
Spoiler!
Private Hidden-Street server! Full of multiplayer buildin' excitement.

It lags on my computer.

Also, I'm not incredibly creative when it comes to building stuff in 3D so creative sandboxes tend to bore me.
I'd have no qualms going around other peoples' worlds and randomly pulling stuff apart though.
