If those numbers are correct, the Minecraft world still has ~1000 times the volume.

It shouldn't matter anyway, because minecraft lazily generates chunks when the player visits them for the first time, and I assume minetest does to.

Of course they do. This is about world size limits.

Right, but neither will have large worlds if you explore little, and both will have large worlds if you explore a lot. The file size of the fully explored world doesn't seem relevant, because neither game fully generates the world.
