In the sense of making stuff and so on, building, exploration and world generation.
Mojang has threatened mod authors into shutting down mods they don't like, even if they don't break laws. Some due to gore and some due to things like beer or alcohol references. Servers have been blacklisted in attempts to shut down some mods.
Yet servers with school shooter or religious suicide bomber content never get banned. God forbid some realistic gore or beer and vodka brewing.
There's quite a bunch and many people would like an alternative where you are free to choose what to play and who you want to play with.
I do not know if Hytale would count at all because I don't think it was implied whether it could be like Skyrim.

Hytale. It is implied to be way beyond anything Skyrim in terms of modding, modding accessibility, and incorporation of user made mods.
