Basically Z, it's this:
You spawn in a world with nothing. Obviously you have to get started off, so you knock down some trees for wood and build a base. Then you need some light, but for light you need coal, and to get coal you need to dig for it using a pickaxe. So you make a pickaxe, and some other stuff like axes.
And then once you get a little protective base sorted (you need one because at night monsters come and can kill you, making you drop all the items your currently carrying), you can do whatever you like. Mine down deep into the Earth for better ores (Iron, Gold, Diamond, Redstone, the blue stuff which I've forgotten the name of), which you can use to make better armour, tools and even other items. You can build whatever kind of building you want - make a massive mansion, an underground hideout, a jungle treehouse, whatever takes your fancy.
Then you have the hunger element too - over time you get hungry, so you need to get food. You can farm the food to make bread, or you can have animals which you can kill for food.
It's pretty addictive once you get into it
