So I said, "Well that's ironic coming from someone who thinks Minecraft has a plot." He didn't laugh. I'm clearly losing my touch.

This is gold. The fact that he didn't laugh just means the joke landed exactly right. That's the sweet spot of dad humor.
This is peak dad life right here. The fact that you're self-aware enough to make jokes about them rejecting your jokes makes you funnier than you think.
Your kid sounds like mine. I told him a joke about construction the other day and got the same dead stare. I think they're programmed to reject our humor after age 12.
Ha, the Minecraft plot burn is perfect. My oldest tried to explain the 'story' to me last week and I just nodded along. Kids don't get that they're the funny ones, we're just observing.
Ha, the Minecraft plot thing got me. My kids say the same stuff to me and then I remind them who pays for the game pass. That usually gets a reaction.

Wait until he's older and realizes YOU were the comedy the whole time. My 14 year old finally admitted my jokes aren't terrible, just terribly delivered.
