Mine craft is a truly fun game (I will be talking about the new versions). With many building blocks and other things you can use, after you mine them, of course.

"How much is the game?"
Right now, before beta is released (this game is in a very stable Alpha at the moment) it is 9.99 Euros (~$13 USD) The classic version is free-to-play.

"What are the day and night cycles about?"
During the day, your world is a large vast peaceful place where the animals are roaming, the sun is out, its snowing (depending if you get the environment or not, it's random) and you are free to do as you please. HOWEVER, at night, the land becomes a treacherous death-valley filled with zombies, spiders, and other monsters that will not hesitate to kill you.

"What if I want to make complex and confusing circuitry?"

"What are the environments like?
You can either get a spring or a winter environment, one has snow and frozen water, one doesn't. The landscape is more often mountain filled, with some caves and waterfalls every now and again (with the occasional, rare, outdoor lava-fall) Also, each map that is automatically created, when you make a save file, is the equivalent to 4-8 times the surface-area of the Earth horizontally (no, I am not Joking)

"What kind of blocks are there?"
In order of rarity 1-10:

-Sand 1
-Dirt 1
-Wood 1
-Leaves 1
-Wooden Boxes (made from regular wood) 1
-Gravel 2
-Clay 2
-Coal 3
-Iron 4
-Red stone 5
-Gold 6
-Diamond 9

There are a few more blocks than these, but these are the basic blocks.

"What are the crafting recipes?"

Just bought it today. I love this game so hard. Probably GOTY 2010, and it's not even done yet.
 
There was another minecraft thread here with like 10 posts of people who have it. This thread is actually a information thread though instead of just people saying they have it. Good to show it to other people.

Only thing about the game is you pretty much have to go to the wiki/youtube to figure out what to do in the beginning and later on for crafting.

It gives a crazy feeling being like 400 ft under ground with tons of intricate tunnels.

Minecraft is so fun :D

I'm thoroughly addicted to it, and have made my first building:

Don't worry, I will put furniture and other stuff in all the rooms, I just finished the basic Construction.

I also made a Scott Pilgrim skin for my character :D

I've lost 2 saves. One had an awesome sky bridge the other just lots of obsidian, but I've still started over I'm thoroughly addicted. It is still in alpha so I'm not mad that my saves got corrupt. Just back up your saves once a day imo.

It is great you can customize your miners skin here's mine (made myself). Carolina panthers are my favorite team so I made it after that. #3 is Matt Moore Curent startign QB; however, I didn't make 3 especially for him. I wanted to make it 34 but not enough space, so I did a simple 3.
