First of all to calm down: I will not buy this processor exclusively for Minecraft. For me, this question is only about whether the 3700X has enough single-core performance to make Minecraft work reasonably well. Since, as is known, only 1 thread is supported on Minecraft, I do not know if this processor even gets along with Minecraft because of its mediocre single-core performance. Does the processor manage to load the chunks quickly or will I have problems there?
The processor is enough.
That's what the processor does.
My Ryzen 7 1700 even manages that.
Would not speak of ner mediocre single-core performance in this CPU. Unseen: Yes, it works.
The processor has a pretty good single-core performance, so take that.
Yes, but unfortunately still behind the 9700k.
According to this Artilek, the Ryzen is 1.63% faster in the SInglecore benchmark.

Do you think that you can only play Minecraft since 2015, because all processors before had too little single-thread performance? That's nonsense, of course Minecraft runs on the 3700X. Where a 9900K creates 300 FPS, then the stop creates 270.
