How much data does Minecraft use?

My current home wireless internet plan only allows for 20GB of data per month and I share it with one other person. We don't get internet on our cell phones so this data is used for everything we do online. Whether it's a little or a lot, I would like to know the average amount of data that is used in these areas of Minecraft:

- Multiplayer Servers (SMP)
- Singleplayer LAN (Open to LAN)
- Singleplayer Worlds (SSP)
- Signed In (NOT offline mode)

I would like to continue to play Minecraft online, but I'm nervous that I will use up a lot of the monthly limit. I would also like to know the average amount of data being signed into Steam uses while I'm playing singleplayer games as well as multiplayer games. I have heard plenty of answers to this question ranging from it uses a few MB every hour to hundreds every few seconds so I don't know what to believe. I would like a truthful answer so please don't guess if you don't honestly know.
