Im not sure if its pertinent i put it there, but anyway.

To find it, just type Minecraft in google.

Its a little 3D java game, free, online (single player or multi), currently in playable alpha stage.

 You can dig in the ground and/or stay at the surface and use blocks to build simple things. Since everything are made out of squares it reminded me of Dwarf Fortress. Its as if you were playing the DF from the POV of one of your dwarves. (its in the first-person view)

Controls: LMB to dig and hit ennemies (in survival mode), RMB to place/use blocks and items. WASD for controls, TAB to shoot arrows in survival mode, thats what you need to know.

This is certainly a neat looking game. I would like to add that SPACE is jump.
Building a temple to Armok right now.

Minecraft is a pretty cool game... The developer mode (for people who bought the game) has armor and "crafting" to an extent... Notch was the co-founder of Wurm Online, and you can see some of it in this game. Hes a very active dev, and look at his "purchases" hes doing quite nicely for him self, especially in Alpha. Easy to say that minecraft already has more people who caught it then Wurm has, even though it hasn't been out too long.

Some of the newest features include:

Finite water, and I'd imagine finite lava as well.
Forges for crafting and junk.
"Loot" system.
Archery
"Farming"
Health
Falling damage...
A level of physics (particular blocks only)
As well as pve.
(Not all of this is new, but it's the stuff that was added in survival and dev-mode).

He intends to make the game hack-proof and add dungeons ect, which I suppose will be pretty cool. Notch isn't really sure what he intends to do with the game, but hopefully it'll turn out as epic as he wants it.

This game screams "plagiarism" to me. Calling it inspired by DF is too nice for me.

How can you say it plagiarises DF?

They have nothing in common whatsoever! One is about building a functioning outpost/fort with simulated citizens, trading with other civilisations, and repelling invaders.

The other is a multiplayer game about using lego-style blocks to build massive constructions.

Bear in mind that DF has only been subverted into a game about constructing wonders of the world largely because the difficulty has been so badly nerfed in the current version.

In fact, Notch admits that the game is "inspired" by Infiniminer, but he's taken it and run off into the wilderness with the idea.

Minecraft is a lot more like Wurm than it is like DF.

Though that's probably because Notch is one of the original developers of Wurm...
