Isn't it so cool?! It's things like that which really excite me about Minecraft... I mean, as individuals in various geopolitical environments, many of us have limited capacities to exercise spatial agency (and other types of agency) but in Minecraft it can feel like anything is possible. You can create your own world, in so many ways.
I definitely agree that learning through practice is often the best way to do things! So far I've just been reading lots of academic articles about mc and really getting into the theoretical side of it. But I'm super excited to try playing it as someone who studied architecture - like, it seems so much more accessible and the possibilities of that are endless.
