I never played Minecraft. I know, WTF? Anyway, I've been playing Trove lately. I enjoy the mining and building and crafting, but no one says shit in-game. Global chat is mostly gold spammers. Is it possible to have a more social, PvE-centric experience in Minecraft? Do you just need to find the right server? If so, how do I find that server? Thanks!

If you just want to socialize, then pick World of Warcraft, it's got many social tools and typically as an icebreaker all you need is to know how to raid, or do a dungeon, heal, tank, pvp, craft, trade, then as folks get to know you they open up a bit more and before you know it your part of a regular social group with common goals.
It goes back to why are you playing? if your playing the game then your searching in chat for someone to socialize with about the game and do some task in game. If your looking to primarily socialize and the game can be in the background or it doesn't matter what game you play, then you either don't want to play a game for your social fix or you should pick a healing class in Warcraft and chill healing dungeons/raids all while socializing your heart out.

Let's party like it is 1863!
No, I wish I had. I screwed up and bought a Switch, then found I had no desire for mobile gaming.
Besides that, you can find social experiences in any online survival game, but it depends a lot on the group of people you find if it is what you are looking for(just like with guilds in MMO's actually).
Trove sits somewhere in between Minecraft and MMO's. The building is limited and crafting is very limited. But I do like the classes and dungeons.
And also Trove is a Free game ,a signifigant reason it would have higher player numbers , but understadable why you would fail to mention that
on a side note Trove building is juvenille compared to nearly every other , Voxel game availble , ANd outside of clubs(which only people invited in will ever see ) In Trove your limited to build what is a very Tall Shed ..
Laughable Trove Combat is trash and doesnt hold a candle to either one , <oreso in Portal Knights case ...
Understandble but your 2c is usually biased towards any Trion product
