You could say that about anything.

You could spend an hour skimming stones on a lake with a kid and never talk to them and you wouldn't be 'spending time with them' in that sense.

Or you could spend an hour teaching them how to skim a stone, or the science behind why stones skim, or make up a skimming competition, etc.

The point being you can make anything you do into a bonding/learning experience if you try.

Minecraft is a wildly collaborative game. You are constantly talking, sharing and problem solving together. They could even be in the same room. I find it very hard to imagine that's not bonding just because it's on a screen.
