Minecraft is focused on creativity and building, allowing players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D world. Gameplay in its commercial release has two principal modes: Survival, which requires players to acquire resources themselves and maintain their health and hunger; and Creative, where the player has an unlimited supply of resources, the ability to fly, and no concept of health or hunger. A third gameplay mode, named Hardcore, is essentially the same as Survival, but the difficulty is locked on the hardest setting and respawning is disabled, forcing the player to delete his or her world upon death. An outdated Classic version is also available for free, although it is no longer being developed. Creative Minecraft resembles Classic, but with many more features.

While it is true that a large amount of the community on Minecraft are Children, i don't believe Minecraft is a game strictly for Children. Minecraft offers the player a huge amount of freedom allowing you to build whatever you want from a small little farm to a huge 1:1 scale of Big Ben (Yes that is an actual thing someone built!)
If you're into open world games and love having the freedom to build whatever you want, i would definitely recommend Minecraft!
