Minecraft can be run from the command line with:

minecraft-pi

or double clicking on the Desktop icon

Note that to get Minecraft to fit on the Raspberry Pi some shortcuts were made in the graphics code. This means that you can only play the game directly on the Raspberry Pi with the keyboard, mouse and monitor connected directly to it. It will not work over a remote connection like VNC.
