I find that I am qualified to offer the following data point. My daughter is 8. She enjoys both Legos and Minecraft. She mostly plays Minecraft in creative, but recently I've been playing through survival with her (first time survival for both of us). She still enjoys building in survival. If anything, I would say her survival builds are more satisfying because she has to do the work of obtaining the resources, and crafting them into the parts she needs. There is also the added challenge of not being able to fly and to easily undo a misplaced block. If I'm doing a complex build like an automated farm, she enjoys crafting the parts for me. Back to Lego: She mostly goes for the Lego Friends kits, but also has a few Lego Minecraft kits. After she'd built something, she does imaginative role play with her 6-yo sister. Sometimes, they'll take the kits apart and rebuild into something different. Regarding temperament: My 8yo is pretty easy going. She is generally patient and doesn't get easily frustrated when things go wrong. I could easily see how a different child could hate imperfect Lego builds, or survival Minecraft.
