Before any of you get super serious about this, remember this is a theory, not actual fact.
I have a theory on where & when the game we all know & love takes place. It might be in Russia during the time Ivan the terrible is the current czar. The actual theory is that some of Ivan's secret police officers may have found a large radiaton deposit deep underground & were reporting it to him. He sends his top officers to investigate, but it all goes horribly wrong. His worst top officer accidently drops a torch into the deposit which sets off the viotile atoms in it causing it to explode. All except for the worst one die in the explosion. The worst one survives, but has long-lasting radiation poisioning which eventually claims his life. However, before his dies, he spreads radiation throughout Russia while running from Ivan's army who wants him dead. The radiation causes almost everyone in Russia to be mutated into the feral beasts that roam Minecraft (Creepers, Endermen, etc). The undead beings are brought back by the radiation, although it results in the handicap that does not allow their bodies to be exposed to sunlight. The unratiated people turn to self-reliance & following unsaid laws as the czars are no longer around to enforce the laws. The orignal explosion results in the law of physics being broken for many things, except sand & gravel. The intitial explosion also threw a large chunk of unknown material high into the sky which became home to the most common mutation, called the Enderland's men, or Endermen for short. The very tiny fraction of other humans that were not radiated turned to demon worship. They created much magic which after a very prolonged period of use actually created the dimension they worshiped. The monsters that inhabit it were a side effect from the Netherrack not being subject to earthly laws, creating gigantic monsters that strike fear into anyone who spots them. I know this is really long-winded & broken in parts, but I have only had about 1 week to think about everything. At least before I forgot about it like I did the last 2 times.
Did anybody actually read the whole thing?
Anyways, that's an okay theory, but I honestly think it takes place in the 1300's and in some alternate dimension.

Neither of them are undead. Also, let's say that the radiation turned pigs into Creepers & the giant spiders were created through radiation that was spread by the worst top officer.
Minecraft does not exist in one era. It is a chronological paradox. This individual clearly has crude and basic forms of mechanical instruments (e.g. wooden pickaxe and bone), yet wields such modern devices as the clock or the jukebox. Truly paradoxical.

That's actually why the most logical idea (apart from being an alternate world) is that it's set in the post-apocalyptic future. Because in the future all those things exist.
My lore is that in the future a transhumanist-religious group attempts to find heaven through technology, but once they were there, they discovered it wasn't what they expected. A monster which they believed to be God cursed them when they got there; opening their minds and giving them great power, but at the cost of both their humanity and sanity. They then believed that they were above regular humans, and began eradicating them. They used their powers to turn the dead, and various animals, into monstrous puppets, designed to scout out surviving humans.
When only a few humans were left, they each chose between two methods of escape from their pursuers. Many left to hide in a hell-like dimension, but where swiftly ravaged by its wasting influence. They succumbed slowly to a disease that rotted their flesh and left them feral. Their three great kings promised to leave and find help, but where never seen again, and it soon became apparent that the kings' elite guard left to protect their civilisations were corrupted by the same affliction as the pursuers that they left their native world to hide from. Their fortresses were left to crumble, forever haunted by undead knights and fiery guardians. Their new home ultimately, had become even worse than their original!
The humans that stayed on earth had far greater success, living in small villages in the wilderness, protected by simple machines. They trained heavily under religious doctrine, which allowed them to stay sane, even in the face of such a great evil. Their bodies changed after 1000's of years of this. but unlike their hellish cousins, their minds stayed the same.
After all this time, only one pure human remained, somehow preserved for millennia beneath the ground. However, he would eventually reawaken, and hold out mercilessly against all the new world's demonic inhabitants. He was perceived by the villagers to be some kind of demigod, and they held onto a hope that he would finally defeat the still-living members of that transhumanist group that continued their genocidal campaign for all those 1000s of years that had passed.
What do ya' think?

No, there has never, ever been a sandbox game with a story or ending... except Grand Theft Auto... and Saints Row... and Red Dead Redemption... and Crack Down... and Assassins Creed...
The time frame could be very wide. Mobs dominate the night and only the miners have swords, because they work in the dark. No large cities exist, towns are small and dreary because everyone is afraid to do anything with, apparently, no policing. Not even those guys with clubs they used to hire sometimes. Mining is the big industry and innovates when it can, fueling only the building industry but big builds only on a whim. Farms and cattle are the second-largest industry. Rarely does anyone build an army, or make military advancements and so no plucky dictator is spreading order and progress.
Dark Ages? Dark Ages Russia. Dark Ages Russia with a zombie apocalypse and semi-random, naturally occuring explosions. Well, it could be a few hundred years past the historical dark ages for all we know. But still Russia. Because I think a lot of us could thrive a little faster even with a zombie and spider apocalyse.
Edit: I forgot about juke boxes. But there would be the remains of larger towns if the climate spawned more recently from apocalyptic events. Thus, we invent things like this on occasion. I do see juke boxes taking place much later than the historical dark ages. Just because people tend to need a lot of help, or a lot of time.
An interesting theory, though personally I think it's in it's own universe. I don't think it takes place on Earth, nor is it on any other existing planet in our universe. It's in... Minecraft.

The thing is that I really made up most of the parts as I went along. The only thing I'm pretty sure about is that the Minecraft world is set in Russia since Russia has every biome in it, from the Taiga to the Tundra to the jungle (I think). If you guys want a really good theory, then listen to 23232323. His is amazing compaired to mine. Even if it's a little too religeous for my tastes.

Thanks. And yeah, I guess it is a bit preachy, though that wasn't my intention. To me it does seem like villagers are religious (complete silence, robes, hidden gender, in constant prayer), and they also seem more successful than pigmen, so in the Minecraft world (though not necessarily in real life): religion>hedonism.
Side note. Actually a lot of countries have every biome in them. I know my country, Australia, does (also, there are jungles in Russia?).

It has, of course, started with the BLOCK BANG.
BOOOOSHH! Then you spawn.

When: A long, long time ago...
Where: In a galaxy far, far away...
Also, your theory doesn't explain why the world is eight times the size of Earth.
