Like it? I "like" it to the point I'm actually thinking about stopping playing.
Even though I now scrupulously avoid anything other than solo play (other than occasionally playing MCPE-LAN with my son) and though I'm candidly not very good at it, I seem to spend more time playing both MCPE and the XBox version than is good for me.
My latest "thing" is starting a world on the XBox in "Survival-Hard" and seeing how long I last until I die once. Then I delete the save and start another one. I suppose if I could figure out why I seem to get a "rush" from doing this sort of thing I'd uncover something rather interesting about myself. Or perhaps not. 
Edit: Oh, one thing I don't "get" at all...I've seen a few disparaging remarks in YouTube comments where people actually refer to MineCraft as "autismcraft." Not sure I understand that at all, since the social aspect seems to be as important to a lot of people as anything going on in the game itself. Eh, something else to confuse me, I suppose.

I do this too--play on hardcore and build elaborate structures. I had one such world that went on for weeks and then I fell through the top of a desert temple and detonated the booby trap--many hours, gone in seconds! I think of it as being like Tibetan sand paintings. Permanence is not the goal. There is no completion. The only point is the focus on the journey.

What is there to get? Some people are jerks.

Actually, XBox doesn't have hardcore. I can respwan, but choose not to. That's one feature I do wish they had, but I can't see it ever getting ported from the PC, somehow. Different audience on the XBox, one that I suspect would be less than happy about having games automatically deleted. Even if warned when creating a world. (At least I think that's what hardcore means? I've never actually played on the PC.)
I do like the Tibetan sand painting analogy, though. I'll have to remember that one next time I'm screaming like a little girl as a creeper closes in on me.

Sigh. *Facepalm.* And thanks. Why didn't I think of that? Ockham's Razor, ftw. Sometimes I'm agog at the truly obvious things that get past me.

They do the "autism" remark because the game has addictive qualities, has no real "goal", you "just build" (according to the idiots), and these people think that those traits mean that if you're playing it "it's like you're autistic hahahahahaDERP"
In other words, rather unfortunate individuals simply say it due to being dumber than a sack of hammers. They cant fathom a game that has no cutscenes or hyper-linear play, and anyone that plays such a thing must be strange indeed! *sigh* And other people perpetuate the joke without actually being aware of WHY or what it even means, which just increases the derptitude of it.
