What's done so far ?:

What I have right now is a basic version of Classic; that means :
- ability to add and remove blocks
- nice terrain generation (including cliffs, plains, small forests, lakes...)
- basic cave generation
- map streaming from file, meaning really big maps can be used (1024x1024 maps are fully playable)
- texture pack support (the game's default texture pack is eldpack)
- saving
- day/night cycle, clouds, dawn/dusk, stars... (basically : nice sky )
- more or less dynamic lighting system (torches !)
- basic bottom screen (working buttons, inventory)
- tons of blocks !
- (basic) dynamic water
- hand !

...and that's pretty much it at the moment. Of course there's other basic stuff like collisions that's been implemented, but that's not much of a feature now is it ?

What has yet to be done:

Tons of stuff. As I've previously said, my primary goal here is to get a basic but playable version of Minecraft Classic to run on the DS.
Right now, I think I'm quite close to reaching that goal; the game is pretty much playable and most necessary features have been implemented. What it mostly needs now is a bit of bug killing and a whole lot of polishing.
Also, I've been thinking about how to handle water more dynamically, however at this moment I'm not sure I can make it work; it just seems like the memory requirements would be too high for my idea to work. I'm still thinking about it (anything could happen at this point, a few weeks ago I was almost sure map streaming or dynamic lighting would be impossible...), but it's not looking good, as I do need to keep a margin of free memory/processing power to account for the different flashcarts that exist out there. Scratch that, it works !

What I'm working on right now
I'm not actually sure...

Wow!
Looks pretty sweet, now only thing that I need is a DS D:

Anyways, when Lamecraft is finished, I think it will be at least as good as DS craft now 8)

Dscraft is good but it doesnt look very proffesional, lamecraft does, it acctualy feels like minecraft :)

Well, I don't know...

Lamecraft may look more like Minecraft.
but
DSCraft looks better I don't know why... perhaps its the clouds :D
