I think what make minecraft special is the game don't make much rules of how should you play it and it give you almost unlimited power to change the environment. There is no game except minecraft allow you to make another game in it without third party tools. And there are no game except minecraft allow you to change the whole map. Want a castle on the cliff? you just build it. Don't like that mountain that block your viewpoint? You just bulldoze it. The game don't judge you. Want to make a mini game and make the rule? The game have tools build in for you. Redstone and command block are here to allow you to make your desired creation. And it's just the base game, we haven't talk about mods yet. There are countless of mods that make content impossible in original base game possible. And each give you new experience about this game. To me. minecraft don't feel like a game. It's more like a creation platform that allow people to prototype all kinds of thoughts and play around it no matter you know how to code or not.
