Well. If you give humans no instructions and play Minecraft without any hints, they probably would do what the AI agents did. Humans, though, realize the game is artificial and has nothing to do with real life... therefore, they go onto Discord, watch Youtube channels, and read about the artificial game rules imposed by Minecraft. They would prioritize building a shelter (from zombies-skeletons at night) and building an underground well-lit farm. Minecraft's says crops can grow underground from torches that stay lit forever and that you can create a never-ending source of water by making a 2x2 well and pouring water into it. In other words, the AI Agents would have played better if they were told to go read some strategy articles about surviving the first few days at Minecraft.
