This is because he enjoys gameplay where there is technical progression and objectives. Things to ‘do’ and reasons to get stronger.
I enjoy gameplay where the objectives are mostly just goals I set for myself, and I have freedom for creative expression.
In Minecraft I can spend forever working on aesthetic builds or complex redstone contraptions, whereas once my friend has exhausted all the progression in the game he finds it boring.
Conversely, although Terraria does allow for building and furnishing nice bases/homes, the 2D nature is limiting for me vs 3D and can’t satisfy my desire to build, so I’m not into it.
They day after my wedding, we had an extra ceremony on my minecraft server, which has been running continuously for at least a decade.
I don’t personally play that much anymore but i still consider it my favorite game and i will return to it when life gets me particularly down, its therapy, its home.
I also have a decent amount of co-op hours in terraria… it’s an ok game i guess.

Perhaps you could compromise?
