Minecraft isn't a good example of your point, it's a better gateway to software literacy than most games kids of your generation were playing: from the logical circuits you can build inside the game, to at least learning how filesystems work by installing mods, and basic web server knowledge when you want a private environment to play with friends. Add to that some permanent or severely bothering consequences to the player mistakes and I think it might be the best video game for kids to play now (and Factorio/Shenzen IO when they grow up :).
