    Another example would be Hytale, created by the team behind one of the larger servers for Minecraft. It's not out yet but I believe it's a very hyped game.

    If you haven't played in a while, a not so recent addition is a recipe book that you unlock gradually by playing and running into different types of blocks and items.

    Besides this, the only challenging aspect I see would be redstone, which is not necessary to enjoy the game, it's simply a mean to automate some simple things like doors and traps. There's also an official wiki that has a lot of decent information.

    Initially, Minecraft was not designed to learn things naturally by just playing, the crafting recipes were always available on the internet and that's how the initial player base got used to things. Of course, it's different now and worth a shot. However, it's fair to state that the game is simply not for everyone. Some enjoy it, others don't.

    Happy to share, I hope you find a good solution.

    And yes, my phone does not autofill any data (also on PC for things such as Spotify, Steam, or any other app). It's not an issue for me because I do not need this feature that often, but I imagine for others it might be a deal breaker.

    It's a bit of a hassle so I can't recommend this to you as an 'easy solution', but after a year of experimentation between multiple tools, what I came to use as a final method is Keepass XC. I also have its Chrome extension (it allows me to autofill on any website as long as the login link is added to the .kdbx file).

    I also use Keepass2Android for my phone, so in order to have the DB synced up I added it to Google Drive. For my PC I had to use Backup & Sync in order to have it synced automatically. I'm not sure how the Keepass app on iPhone works but I doubt it's different from what I use.

    Advantages:

    I don't know my own passwords and I don't have to (besides the master pass);
    Different and very strong passwords for each and every website (randomly generated by Keepass);
    I can add passwords to the DB from my phone, from my PC, from my VMs and the database is synced up automatically on any new device;

    Disadvantages:

    If my DB is by any chance deleted or I forget the master pass, I'll have to go through some hoops to gain access to most of my accounts;
    Takes a bit of time to set up on any new PCs;
    Autofill only works on Chrome, with the extension installed and set up (also works on Firefox), but for anything else I have to copy it straight from Keepass.
