I know several young people who started coding by modifying and creating Minecraft mods. The barrier to entry is definitely higher, though.

I've worked professionally with a person who found their love for programming by modifying Minecraft mods. I'd say he was far better than the vast majority of bootcamp devs, even without much real work experience.

Finding out what is fun for you is such an important step in self-actualisation and a continued interest.
