I heard a lot about Minecraft and I'm quite curious to know what can be achieved in this game and what's its goal.
What mechanism keeps the game going?

The thing about Minecraft is, unlike most games you set your own goals. Here's a list of common (and uncommon!) things people have done with Minecraft:
The mechanism that keeps the game going is your own desire to complete the goals you've set yourself, and pure, red-hot addiction.

Some additional stuff people have done:
Minecraft 1.9+
In Minecraft 1.9 and beyond, there are villages, strongholds, abandoned mineshafts and nether ruins to explore. In particular, strongholds will contain portals to The End, in which players can fight The Ender Dragon, a 'boss fights'. The second 'boss fight' has also been added, The Wither. This makes exploration a key part of the game, as well as combat. 'Hardcore Mode' (world deletion upon death) is also an option if you're after a challenge.
A creative mode has also been added that allows players complete freedom in constructing large structures, compartmentalizing that aspect of gameplay.
