@Matrix11 If you play minecraft (or a variety of other games) and you like it, you have the prerequisites to learn programming. Like minecraft, programming is a sandbox game with a lot of variety in both what you can build with, playstyles, and social interactions. You can focus on exploration, art, mechanisms, speed-running, optimisation, automation, role-playing, and more! Each of those even have things that have never been discovered before and that not even the devs/chipmakers imagine you can do. And yes, you can run minecraft with it.

Learning programming is not hard, but you might have to change your approach from time to time, and you can tire of it at times, so taking long breaks isn't unheard of and is healthy. Have fun with it when and while you can, but don't shy from it. After all, one difference it has from minecraft is that it's free!
