Crafting is one of the most important parts of Minecraft. Crafting is how you take all of the raw materials that you have collected in the world and turn them into tool and materials that are more useful to you. There are hundreds of things that you are able to craft in Minecraft and you have to memorize how to craft all of them. Why could it be useful to have memorized all of these things that you won't use in the real world? It’s not what you memorized, it's how you memorized it. If you were to watch someone play Minecraft you wouldn't see them studying all of this information after they're done playing, after they did it once they would remember how to do it. Being able to memorize things quickly is very important in the real world. In almost any field of work there are going to be simple tasks that are important that you will have to know and the faster you can remember how to do them the better.
