Unless you mean primary lessons like the basis of analysis and calculations...
Because the only thing I find at my level and those of the average internet users, is more of the complex mechanics, like logic gates and switches, and essentially 'logic' programming.
But I guess you can incorporate puzzles and scenarios into the game to teach problem solving too so yeah it really depends on how you innovate on the technology.

Wrong, he has to do it for the money because Mojang is a developing company, AKA a actual corporation so they need to make a income. As with all businesses, their "need" for income or revenue increases each time they count the muneh.
So they might go: "We need to earn more to pay off our development cost"
Then they will go: "We need to earn more to pay off our staff"
Then they will go: "We need to earn more so we can go buy some new stuff"
The excuse is endless really...
Look at EA games and see how they turned out from the start... Their greed got bigger and bigger until they got a incredibly FAT EGO.
If they didn't attempted to hire too many people to develop a single game, and only hired 1 professional programmer for that, then they would probably saved and not need to make extra money.
But nooo, they had to hire 200 programmers for a single game.

Currency can be used in single player and multiplayer or basically, npcs that takes advantage of them...
Just need to be creative to make it big enough so it doesn't get boring with having millions of money and no way to use them all.

What if EXP can be directly turned into currency using metals?
Like for instance crafting coins out of iron, and then filling them with exp to add a value to them.
You can then use a machine to redeem the EXP off of them to take the raw coins back and fill yourself up with exp.
1 Iron ingot = 8 Coins
You can build a machine out of iron and redstone, and it functions similar to a furnace except it works two ways...
Convert EXP to Coins, and Extract EXP from coins.

If you didn't know about this then there's some more info about this thing.
Apparently when Mojang wrote what they want to be trademarked, they made it VERY VERY Vague and very very wide, meaning they want "scrolls" trademark to cover almost EVERYTHING. Even Radios and Television!
This causes Zenimax to react to Mojang's move, forcing them to toss a lawsuit in.
Notch is not your average indie guy, he's cunning and can be quite evil... My friend knows him personally cuz Notch apparently joined his forums years back, got told his game idea won't work, and shooed him away. And that was while Notch wanted to make a "minecraft" like game on a Mirage Source which means a 2D game engine. But Mirage source was owned by a group of people and they don't like someone suggesting sandbox ideas to their MMORPG engine.
Notch may look innocent, but he's very tactile and very strategic in what he plans for his company to do... Too bad most of the time he bites more than he can chew though...
Even for his dragon update, I think Jeb was the one who made that... Notch for one probably can't code or design that well seeing how he made the earlier mobs and re-used the same models for zombies, skeletons, and pigmens, but textured them differently.
Personally I find Jeb to be a professional animator and programmer so in some ways Notch hired the right person for the job anyhow. And it's not like CEO or VP of a company actually does all direct work all the time...
And about this whole trademark ordeal...
80% chance that Mojang can't take it simply because they made the coverage too vague and thus "threatens" pretty much every single franchise that has the word "scrolls" in it.
If you don't know what I mean, think about this:
- If Mojang succeeds, they can sue ANYONE with scrolls in their products, regardless of how the word is used... Like say a tv show called "Scrolls of Time", Mojang Sues, and probably will hurt them.
The lawyers and attorneys are probably loving it though... Whoever works for Mojang's law department, probably did so intentionally to fund itself from lawsuits or something.
They seems to "intend" to want to cause a confusion, over making the trademark clearer.
The problem here is that everyone in this forum might look at the lawsuit and cheer for the underdog, or what it seems like one... A dog with a rocket launcher that is.

I tend to stray away from the team, to sniff out hidden roaming players and get the jump on other players.
In any RPG, I try to do things that other people don't usually do... Like building a character in a way that other people don't like to do, and making it pro.
In League of legend, I went with a Teemo Atk Spd + Critical Hit and it was working very well for some games... Until 3000hp and 150 defenses gets involved. Everyone else says: "Go boost AP and such" like a caster, but I like to make a machine gun teemo.

Although I won't dabble into it, that thing is the cause and source of every small scale mmo community's rage because of them bashing each other's heads in fighting over what they call plagiarism.
Cause seriously, every time I see a topic posted like this, the screenshots ALWAYS looks similar to a "certain game engine" with sprites that may have been similar.
And because not everyone is a awesome pixel artist to design the whole game's sprites.
People from those 2D Mirage Source 3.0 or whatever communities needs to grow up and do something unique on their own...
