If you want to make Minecraft more like Dwarf Fortress, then the first thing you have to do is get rid of the fact that you have to do every damn thing yourself.
Any sort of "Dwarf Fortress" version of Minecraft that involves merely putting DF-style geologic features or DF-style workshops into the game is only going to be skin-deep because that's completely missing part of the most significant difference between the two games:
One is an FPS where you can move around blocks, and the other is a top-down management game where you can order other people to move around blocks for you.
Unless you can bridge the gap between being an FPS where you have to sit there manually chipping away at a mountain with a pick in between making your 823515th damn stone pick because you can only dig 100 or so tiles per pick and the playstyle of DF, where you set two dwarves to making picks, and 20 dwarves to digging, while you just tour the facilities, then it's not going to be anything like DF.
You can, at best simulate Adventurer Mode, if you completely hack the game and write in locational damage instead of hitpoints. However, why'd you put this thread in the Fortress Mode Forums (not even general DF forums, much less Other Games...) if not for the fact that you mean you want to recreate fortress mode.
Call me when you're writing up a new AI and interface for ordering dwarves to do your mining for you, because until then, you aren't even attempting a DF version of Minecraft.
