What rule does your game break?
In Minecraft (or any sandbox/survival game), the player expect to be able to carry a LOT of material (4x9x64 = 2304 cubic meters in Minecraft inventory). So the question is what what if the player can only carry one block at a time ?

How does your game use the theme?
how to make the game funny (or at least not too painful) with this constraint ? My answer was having an economy and bots ready to help you. (I also wanted to have vehicles, but no time for it...)

Heh... it was definitely challenging to play with such limited capacity. I managed to get the two gold blocks and hire the three workers. Then I just kind of ran around with them following me... trying to see if I could find the edge of the map. (Was it procedurally generated?)

Thanks for the feedback, the map is indeed generated, but mixed with a manually drawn height map that enabled me to do the level design. If you escaped from the drawn terrain, you indeed were on an infinite map (with nothing else than dirt and stone, not very interesting). There was a path to the other gold blocks following the cliff near the spawn, but maybe I should have put a sign because it was easy to miss.
