    I have read about this game for what seems like ages now, but I have no idea what you actually do? Do you just build stuff? Is there a story?

    There are blocks, you move them around, use them to craft items, use the items to move them faster.

      Very comprehensive walkthrough... OK maybe not, but its a fun series and it should explain a bit. 
     
    EDIT: There's no story, but the community have made some cool custom maps with stories.

    @dad0ktdid: best description, using the blocks around you to make tools and shelter, you survive day after day and make cool creations
