Just wondering. Because it doesn't look like it advances past the Middle Ages, with villages... then we see that Redstone exists. And then the time before either existed looked downright prehistoric.
Short answer, I'd say Hollywood early midieval Europe…
The arms and armor are based on European designs (as is the village architecture [at least through 1.13] and professions), which is unsurprising given the background of Persson.
With the various fantasy elements, trying to assign an accurate historical time correspondence dosen't seem to be an objective exercise, but IMO the 'feel' of the base game is roughly 8th century (Charlemange-ish)… with added magic [RS fits well enough as magic under Clarke's 3rd law]
