Very, very, few people would notice the Minecraft NPCs having a semi-realistic day to day life. Noticing that an NPC has a work schedule requires that you stalk random NPCs all day. It works with the Sims, and similar games, because the game essentially forces you to watch them, and to be the stalker. It's so hard to get players to notice the AI is doing anything that one technique is to make NPCs yell their decisions at the player. That's why enemies exclaim things like "grenade!" or "flank him!" in FPS games. They are trying to force you to notice the AI is doing something.
