How to NOT get BORED playing MINECRAFT

[@fWhip]

Hope you enjoy today's video! Something a little bit different that I think is really important to talk about for Minecraft players! Did you find this helpful? Or anything else you do to stay motivated?

[@Romannnr]

This has let me get some inspiration to start a long term world! Thank you so much :)

[@ArunPlayss]

I mostly just get bored after I've made a starter base so ty ❤

[@heyhellyco]

Honestly this is a video that I believe many of us needed. Getting burned out or bored of the game happens often, so starting small, pacing yourself, not cutting corners, setting up future projects and goals to achieve, can genuinely improve one’s experience. I’ve recently been doing multiple smaller Minecraft projects, so I don’t find myself getting bored with the bigger ones. Thanks fwhip for the inspiration and the awesome builds, looking forward to the next project!

In an old world I had in 1.17, I for nine months I had made roads branch from each village on a starter map, start to upgrade each village and make them look better, did out huge mines and have a interconnected mining network from my castle toward each village and other castles in the future I build.

[@Kleph.]

Takeaways list: 1) Play in a way that makes you feel happy with what you've done--singleplayer vs multiplayer, hardcore vs peaceful, creative vs survival, keepInv on or not, it's all up to you. 2) Play slower; stop to enjoy things and don't let "progress" be the metric for having fun! 3) Start small and upgrade farms/builds. 4) World maps and dense building regions help you be aware of your own achievements and feel attached to them. This may require terraforming, but that's okay! You don't need to explore for the perfect biome, MAKE it. 5) Set larger goals that give you something to build toward, and break down the smaller things that will build towards it. (Each step becomes meaningful to your ultimate vision) 6) Use datapacks or mods if they reduce unpleasant grind or add aesthetics you enjoy. No right or wrong here. 7) Let your buildings tell a story and use imagination! 8) Do the mindless grind when you need relaxing and recharging, so that you're not bored by it. 9) Taking breaks from Minecraft make the game itself more enjoyable. Here's my own advice: a) If you have a vision but you don't know how to execute it, just do it badly. It is okay to tear down buildings because you have something better. It can hurt to "throw away" work BUT you haven't ever wasted your time because you learned something from it and that build still exists in your mind. This is also applicable to other projects, like writing or exercising. b) Do something intentionally ridiculous. Build pointless farms or builds and enjoy the silliness. Especially if you notice MC being less fun as you get older, it's possible that you are taking things too seriously and ruining your own fun. But kids can play with *anything* because they have fewer expectations for themselves. So remember just to *play*! GLHF and if you're wanting more advice leave a reply :)

[@saix_unicorn]

i also want to add: if you wand to use in keep inventory, do it because ppl who say it's bad are dumb, we always play in keep inventory because it reduce the stress of the game so much and we enjoy it so much more than in simple survival

This all sounds pretty great! Definitely some good adds too :D

@@Hellopeople21377 Haha that stuff gets me too! Keep in mind that fWhip sees it even more than we do and probably doesn't feel excited about it or doesn't have a clear idea on what to do. You ever get told to do a chore you were going to do anyway, though? And then you're like "I was going to do it, but now I don't want to"? Telling fWhip to fill it might actually be demoralizing, so consider suggesting ideas that would inspire him! Unfortunately, he's also got pressures of making content that interests a large audience, so that might also affect what he prioritizes. But please be patient and suggest ideas and I'm sure he'll get to it when he can. ^_^

[@anycoolgamer]

@@fast-toast amen 🙏 thats what im doing now too slowly but surely

[@deadhelix]

this is why I have way more time in terraria and dont starve over mc (excluding the childhood golden age of opening the game getting nothing done and think i had the best day ever) because most of the content in minecraft is what you make not stuff that is there to acquire or conquer. Once you get iron armor you are 2 upgrades behind the strongest gear so you aren’t in much danger, and there isnt much putting you in danger anyway. I prefer terraria where there’s always more stronger items to get to take on the next boss in a linear progression. Dont Starve has the same horizontal progression minecraft has where the difference between the worst and best gear is not much, but theres so many things that you have to constantly manage to stay alive and the default mode being hardcore (1 life but some respawns can be found) makes it feel like a loop of learning and getting better.

[@harold963]

I think a lot of people needed to hear this ❤️ When it comes to minecraft, I play mainly single player (mainly because I can only play bedrock right now), and I do get stumped a lot of the time - But taking long periods of time away from minecraft genuinely gets me excited to dive back in again. I’m an avid reader and the worlds I read about inspire me to build what I’ve just read 😊 I find it also helps, me personally, to move away from my own projects and build alongside creators I genuinely enjoy, not only does this keep me entertained, I learn from the creators and how they would build also 😊 Keep up the good work Fwhip 😁

[@fWhip]

That sounds awesome! Reading is fun because your brain still has to piece the information together to create your own picture which could be totally different to someone else reading the same thing! :D

[@unboxing_legend7708]

ive personally tried to steer away overtime from books explaining each area in my minecraft world because then it breaks the imagination and people have to read 100 books to understand or get tired and leave before seeing all they want to see and stuff like that. i dont really see a use for them anymore then an artistic choice. until we end up getting the update with the bookshelves to put books in, i dont feel inlcined to use books to create stories and legends and stuff like that to store into some library either than to use it for decoration purposes. when i think of books i think of the hour long time on xbox it takes to type it out switch pages and only making a 11 page book in which uve given up on because ur character is starving dying, skipped multiple days, lost interest due to boredom or cause it feels like no progress is being made. despite saying this, i have only 1 reason at this current time now to make a book and to place it in a stand or something for people to read despite playing singleplayer and this is because i can use it to explain how i came up with the idea of the build that it is near or infront of and how to build it for others to use.

[@Saythra]

Something I did to help ease the pain of not having the patience to build certain large farms, was to make a custom villager that would sell what I need/want. Like I can't be asked to make an farm for prismarine. So I made a custom villager that sold all the blocks, in exchange for copper ingots. I have metric craploads of the stuff, not using it, and can turn it into something I use a lot.

[@fWhip]

that sounds like a really fun way to play the game! Gives a great excuse to build more villages too :D

[@decimatestudios7686]

How do you do this?

[@Saythra]

@@fWhip it does! My current survival world, said villager is "the last of his clan" lives on a little farm on the edge of a village as a bit of an outcast. Trades "precious stones" for copper. All around the farm there's small boulders of prisma everywhere. Was a different take to world building to ease a personal pain point in the game.

[@arcehiero4796]

@@Saythra so cool!

[@Boyhoody]

That's awesome! I've also been trying to play this way where I build villager houses uniquely (ie smithy, library, barn, brewing etc) and have villagers with the desired professions live in them. This way it would be almost like many mini trading halls while maintaining the village aesthetics😄

[@maodebo3301]

These tips apply to any creative project btw like drawing, break down big ideas into smaller simple tasks, don't rush, find enjoyment in the repetitive grind, try something new everyonce in a while etc I cant play minecraft without an idea of what i want to do in that world I personally started a project to build a walled city that extends both upwards and downwards making different layers of the city, with waterways, railroads etc But I didn't immediately start planning the city, making the walls etc that would have made me burnout before even starting, instead I've started with my house, then the road connecting my house to my mine, slowly I will build houses and farms alongside the road and then branching outwards, and when I find a problem or obstacle it's an opportunity, need wood? maybe I can make a treefamr and disguise it as a building. need smelting a lot of stuff? let's make a blacksmith house etc etc

[@fWhip]

Sounds really similar to how I plan things out! Definitely my favorite way is to naturally expand the world and let my brain figure it out as I go. Especially for non-modern builds it seems like the more natural way to do it.

[@zombiepush]

The issue with the multi player world shrinking to a single player is totally valid. It's how I started playing the game after learning the minimum basics only to find out that the world really only had 2 active players. It really knocked the wind from sails as all my eagerness was about other player involvement. I am now looking forward to going single player mode and will take your advice on board so that I don't just sit there like a bump on a log!

[@EG-cm5th]

Lol, I had a similar experience with a Minetest server, and I had to intentionally shift the way I was looking at my playing experience. I basically ended up making it more of a “let’s pretend we’re in a ghost town” type of mindset.

[@EriTheFish]

Perfect timing, as I started my new world after deleting 5 worlds I spent 3 mins in because I got bored. I loaded up a random seed and immediately saw my vision - a swampy fishing spot that leads into a mountainous hobbit hole and a base at the harbour. The most important thing I did was to not rush, being in a situation where I was just building with stone tools and having a good time. Edit: I started a new world like a week after I made this comment lol Edit 2: I made another world after that like a week ago lol I need to watch this video again

I definitely think adding a narrative to your world can help a lot with making it feel special. In my latest single player world ive been keeping a journal of events so the history of my world feels like a story, and also naming every cool echanted piece of gear like its a artifact in dwarf fortress to give them extra character

[@dansara5933]

Thank ou! that was very insightful! i honestly think one of the best things to do is taking a break whenever you find yourself struggling to find anything to do. you come back with so much inspiration and renewed passion for the game which always leads to better better and a lot more fun! Maybe another tip i'd say is watch other people and take inspiration from them

[@Romannnr]

Thank you so much! I’ve been not playing Minecraft for months now because I just get very bored very quickly! This helps a lot! ❤️❤️

[@gothfoxgirlAO3]

I get bored in my worlds, cause I just don't have the motivation to make things look nice. I usually afk my farms most of the time and there's really nothing else for me to do, since I'm the only one seeing my worlds, sans for a pixel world I dip into every so often. I don't stream or make videos, so I find making things look nice kind of futile, especially with the time it takes me to build making me feel like I could be doing other, more productive, things. Hats off to people that can stay invested in their worlds for a long time! You've got a lot more willpower than I do.

[@riuphane]

For me an early goal of a massive project gives me something to work on and reasons for me to build everything else. I need farms to give me more renewable blocks. I need to do smaller projects to break up the work on the big project. I need to explore and expand to get new or more resources. And every once in a while, i see something that i just have to work on. But keeping a list of things i want to do or make gives me a never ending lost of ideas. Also playing with others. It gives you a drive to accomplish your goals, you can always help others with theirs, and make things that are more fun with friends

[@respectrealperson290]

Hiya Whip! I don't get bored either playing Minecraft. I take inspiration from almost anything around me like history, books, artwork, cultures, new tech, imagination, and from collaborations. I don't have to copy other people's builds even if they are inspiring. The challenge is my very own, and not just what everyone else does because it's popular.

[@FranksCreativeCorner]

Thank you fWhip. Honestly, you became my favourite Minecraft builder. Though sometimes they seem daunting to me, I love your buildings, building style and ideas, and also your way of playing inspires me to build my own things. When I watch your videos I feel like a child again, and it reminds me of the times I played with lego and built stuff without worrying about a thing (though the grinding parts are still anxiety inducing lol). I always had a passion for a lot of things, and so playing videogames sometimes as my main thing wasn't a very appealing idea to me. On the other hand, I fell in love with them since I was a kid, but I let that love get the best of me and I became very addicted, so my relationship with them hasn't been the best. One thing is certain though: I love to create things, and I love architecture. And Minecraft is the perfect game for me to do those things, but every time I started worlds, but for one reason or another I struggled keep my motivation after a while and so I always ended up either burning out, getting bored, quitting or deleting them, along with all my progress, farms and my few creations. I tried a lot of different ways of playing: vanilla playthroughs, vanilla+, a little bit of modded, mostly solo but some with friends... I tried shaders, rushing to beat the dragon, taking my time and building as I go, building a lot of farms, custom seeds, tweaked worlds with custom gamerules and datapacks... One thing I haven't tried long term hardcore worlds, but that's because I don't like the idea of dying and losing all my stuff forever, so I'm fine not diong that, for now at least. I just hope one day I can create a world and keep it for a loooong time, creating a lot of cool stuff that I can share. I want to get good at building and to come to enjoy playing this magical cube game just like when I first started playing it. Even if it means progressing little by little, sometimes grinding and getting a bit bored, having buildings I don't like or that I don't finish for a long time, I want to enjoy every bit of it, and to be able to look back and be proud, even if at the end this is just a game. Even if this isn't the only thing I do in my life. Those are my desires.

[@umbrify]

Honestly, one of the best ways I stay inspired in Minecraft is by watching creators I love! Seeing other people build cool things gives me so many ideas for what I could do in my own world, and sometimes, playing alongside a long video or stream to keep me company really helps! (Especially fWhip- thank you for being such a cool and inspiring creator. The amount of times I open up my game after streams, feeling inspired to create, is more than I can count )

I have a modded world with my brother, and just being smaller (because of our origins using pekhui) made it so much easier to spend forever in the same amount of space that many players might only ever use for a starter base and then move on. We enjoyed it so much, in fact, that we kind of ignored the usual progression of the game and have only really done things when we need to. I intend to keep playing on that world for a long time.

[@Un_Popular_Opinions]

I finally built my first real nice looking base area after years of playing. Now I'm done with the base and everything to do with it... But I still want to continue the world I was in. So I left the home base area and travelled to a different area 5k blocks away and started fresh. Also, I linked the two with nether portals so I could use my old supplies. Then I took a 4+month long break. Now I am back to wanting to continue it, but feel like I need to fully finish my Starfield runs.

Almost 12 years on a single world with a few of my friends. Mostly built around a single city. Yeah, it does get boring, but we keep coming back. Some hard to believe facts about it: - We've not been to the end, we scouted out the portals, but had no need to kill the dragon yet, although the shulker chests are very attractive :D - We haven't killed a Wither (got skulls collected) - The only hostile mob farm is just a based on a single skeleton spawner and was only built earlier this year to speed up XP gain, because mending on alot of items makes it more difficult - No iron golem farm We aren't rushing things or farms to get unlimited amount of things instantly, we take our time planning out buildings and areas together, the ups and downs of having no resources and spending them all has been a theme for all these years, especially when newly added biomes are spawned only in unexplored territory, that makes gathering things a pain.

I somehow am still actively building in my Creative world after 1Year, eventhough I am not that good in building. And I hope it keeps Going for atleast another 3 Years! My preacious Plavania!

[@rubylikessonic2]

I've played in the same world for about 7 years. I usually don't build anything too crazy, I like to stay relatively simple, sometimes I go big, but when I do it's pretty simple, like a big pyramid or big netherrack cube, with a nether replica of my house in it. But otherwise it's a few little houses scattered around or just some random idea I got, and that's what 's fun for me. I personally like the jumbled up look of a ton of random stuff built next to each-other, compared to something more organised like in this video (No offense btw, I think it looks amazing)

[@racconsoup]

ive been feeling a little burnt out on one of my worlds, so i added that "from the fog" mod to it, so i could feel the eerie, creepy vibe i used to get when i was a little kid playing after hearing those creepypastas. ive been imagining more of a story to my world that i can think on when im bored of my "set building" (currenting working on two busy towns and one outskirts area with a few cottages, farms, and camp sites)

[@NukaQueen]

Couldnt have found this at a better time! My current health problems have left me feeling down in the dumps and my game was starting to reflect that. This video (and binging your hardcore series for the second time) have definitely lifted my spirits and inspired me to play in a new light!

[@shiningpyro]

i started a server a couple weeks back with a ton of my friends but in the last week people have become less engaged with it because they don't like the game as much as me and it has caused me to start loosing motivation for the world and this really helped

[@hezvandermeij]

I finally managed to stay interested in 1 world in my own modpack, and even dared to take the world with me when I finally took the leap and updated my pack from 1.12.2 to 1.18.2 Never been both more happy and proud, and I've managed to get hooked like this by actually following almost all tips you've given today (but then 1, 5 years ago lol)

[@DaShikuXI]

It mostly boils down to intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation. People with intrinsic motivation can easily keep worlds going for years, because the simple act of building something cool in that world is enough for them. People who are extrinsically motivated will struggle in this regard, because just building something for the sake of it makes no sense. If you are extrinsically motivated, like me, then i have a few solutions that can extend the lifetime of your worlds. - Play a mod pack with quests. A good quest pack adds a bunch of goals for you to complete in your world, usually with their own rewards that help you in your progression. - Make KZbin videos. Having people appreciate the things you do in your world can be a big motivator. - For that same reason playing in multiplayer with your friends is also a big help.

[@makattackurback]

I personally LOVE long term worlds. My main motivation for them has always been being able to see my world grow in every aspect. I love comparing then and now especially with my builds and how they all come together to make my world

[@TheWingman43]

Honestly the biggest thing that has helped me in the last decade of minecraft is literally making a board or a book with goals to cross off. It's an additional layer of dopamine crossing off a big project or even a small to do, plus it helps if you are in a multiplayer world.

[@geese9065]

I really enjoyed this video, i’ve felt this way about minecraft for a long time now. and i’ve tried getting back into it. I love grinding but once I do it then everything becomes boring. now i am working on a secret vault for my netherite armour sets, thank you for the tips and way to make this amazing game fun again

[@AVworld.]

I started watching stuff on my 2nd monitor while playing and it helps keep me entertained so I don't feel too bored

[@taniaphillips3124]

You're very inspirational fwhip :D I have ADHD but I LOVE the long term game... As I improve as a player I love to challenge myself in different ways, like working on big, beautiful themed builds. BUT it gets boring, and I find as I get toward an end of a project I start running out of steam SO to re-motivate myself I'll often go do a "side quest" :D like raid an ancient city or excavate an ancient ruin, or breed the best horse possible, or build a random civilisation somewhere in the end, there are any number of ways to keep entertained in this game, please keep doing what you do, love your stuff

[@wildsymposiums]

This is really inspiring, Fwip! Really makes me want to boot up a new world for myself, I haven't played Minecraft since my last multiplayer world with my friends died, but this makes me feel rejuvenated and ready to play again :)

[@stemwaffle]

Something that helps me is to have two (very different) worlds going. For example, a world where I try to take things nice and slow, and then a multiplayer where I try and grind out the biggest whatever to flex. When I get bored of one, I hop to the other, when I get inspiration from one, I bring it into the other. I build in very different build styles, and focus on different things. Helps me alot.

[@Badassest]

I generally start a game with building a tiny house. Then I do all the normal progression to get to the end dimension. But this is where I don't stick to normalcy. As soon as I have access to the end I stock up on wood planks and get my gear and food together. I'm not going to the end to fight the ender dragon- im going to get a full backpack of shulker boxes and a few pairs of wings. Once Ive bridged out to the end islands and accomplished those tasks I put everything in an ender chest and die. The rest of my game is nomadically collecting precious building materials and wandering the world. That way I can choose to build anywhere I find interesting along the way. At some point I do return home and build a castle or mansion but home is the one place where I try to keep the local natural environment untouched. The rest of the world I can mine into oblivion but home is ultimately the place where I keep my most prized treasures. And it's a place where if a mission away from it failed and ended in a horrible death- I can just throw on a new set of gear, restock some grub, make a new plan and do something else. I personally locked my computer out after the cabes and cliffs update from internet access missed out on cherry trees and further game developments but C&C update was truly epic. Until we get an extreme End update Im not looking forward to much of anything tbh. But that's just me.

[@albertfitzgerald2309]

I needed a message like this. I recently reached the end game in 7 days to die, which is basically like Minecraft but more realistic and with guns. I’ve got most of the best gear, I’ve maxed out most traders job levels, and I’ve got all the farms I need set up. All I seemingly had left was the castle I’m building, but it’s become a massive slog and what used to be an organic free flow as I put the first part of the complex together has slowly turned into a death march as the castle grew in scope and size. I need to take a step back before I burn out completely and just smell the zombies for a bit, we’ll see if that helps. Thanks Fwip!

[@Bodecken]

Gotta love a MC creator who can actually document his process of building rather than a thirty minute video of jump cuts in a very obviously fake world. Keep doing you Fwhip, you're a legend and a huge inspiration for me mate.

[@MaintDocs]

I watched this because I enjoy playing video games but also question the long-term value. There is a lot of overlap with mechanical art and jewelry making: *I make it because I think it's cool, and I like the experience of sharing that with someone.* I don't need everyone to enjoy it, just a select few who really appreciate it. I have a goal at some point to make something cool out in the forest as a secret place for people to find and enjoy. (Add a little wonder and beauty for people to find). I personally find building in video games to be a bit like building a sandcastle: it's fun in the moment, but it gets wiped out/erased soon. That really limits my desire to pour into it. I'd rather build into something more lasting. Part of what makes minecraft interesting is figuring out how to do something. Watching a few concept tutorials can open you up to things you'd never considered, but it is dangerous in that it can also shortcut and cheat the whole process. Example: knowing that there is a way to create an iron farm with villagers and knowing a few of the villager mechanics promotes creativity and trying things. Maybe you get it to work, but now you see a way to improve on it, so you either modify it or set out to create a new one from scratch. Simply following a tutorial step by step cheats that whole discovery process and cheats the satisfaction of conquering a challenge.

[@JoneSz97]

Started a long term world back in 2020. The builds aren't as always good looking but the memories whenever I look at them makes me realize why I wanted a long term world and not every update a new world. Usually whenever a new update areives, I do plan to branch out to another region close by.

[@sandroribeiro7644]

I started mine in 2017, many builds were just bad, but after some experience and improving is now good. I did demolish most of those old builds though.

I appreciate the work you do in your worlds. When I used to play I was a creative only. But since I found your channel, you really made me switch to regular. So I am new to the whole building iron farms, xp farms and so on.

[@adefighter]

I like to leave my Elytra sometimes and only use it to travel between regions. I got a donkey with a bunch of shulkers in to travel arround and just start building a few smaller projects. A small mine, a new path between villages, some new houses, etc

[@Stevierattz]

I find it quite interesting what people don’t get bored of in this game. Most often it is survival or hardcore multiplayer worlds, which is also usually true for me. The thing that remains true is that if you are on multiplayer, you must get a group of people who are also committed, or it begins to crumple apart. My best world that lasted the longest was a super flat creative multiplayer, which may have not been to interesting but had a committed group of people. I’ve been searching for years to get into a world with the same feeling I got from that world.

[@tisjstme5315]

The first world, back in 2012, I did single play on was peaceful. It was a small house and when I needed bones I would change it to easy, then return it back. The second world, in 2013, I was in a snowy biome and built a cobble castle on hills with a rail between. Then I started digging out a mining pit level by level. I left those worlds, along with some others, after many updates, in the files of my Save folder. I also was playing on a server at this time and much preferred playing and talking to people. Have been with that same server all the way to now. My building skills have so much improved. I find working alone and with others, is what helps me not get bored. If I get to the point were I don't know what to do next, I start a new project or go off to a friends place to help build things there, till I get motivated again. It's just like having that break from Minecraft, but I am still in that blocky world. And I Love It.

[@delena4evertvd267]

[@Lcb529]

This helped so much I’ve been making a new world almost every 2 weeks because I’ve been playing so fast and I never got to enjoy the early game

[@awesomehugo6001]

What me and my friends realized for our group, was that when the dragon got slain we would all slowly lose interest. So we tried not killing it and it worked however it made progressing different builds very slow, but I think it was a worth trade-off 😅

[@scottguitar8168]

I like playing Revelations, part of the FTB collection because it has so many mods to keep us occupied. Sometimes it is the case that after playing in a world for months with all of these mods, the game becomes glitchy. Sometimes there is an excitement just to begin a new world. Sometimes we play in creative mode to speed things along, sometimes we play mixed and sometimes we do it all in survival mode. I often find myself enjoying survival mode the most, simply because it feels more satisfying to know you created everything from scratch and at a certain point feels like you are playing creative as you automate the processes for collecting and using materials. We have done the cities and towns with trains to get us around. I particularly like the technical mods such as Immersive Engineering, Big Reactors and Applied Energetics. Even though there is plenty to do, we still find ourselves taking breaks when we lose interest but eventually come back.

[@saroussi23]

The way i keep motivtion is streaming my progress i might not be a big streamer but haveing one or two people that are watching me play and making sure i dont cheat really helps me to come back to a world and also takeing breaks is very inportent play for like an hour or an hour and a half so you dont feel like you have to do something but instead you feel like you want to do it.

[@CB-lw7ty]

My problem with Minecraft being boring is just generally, after a certain amount of years you've done alot of what you want to do in the game and the updates don't really create anything abundantly different to make you play a completely different way, so you just find yourself starting a world to essentially do what you've already done time and time again just with slightly different blocks.

[@seanmcnally6658]

What keeps me interested is connecting villages and building on those villages to create a world that has a story. As time changes, I update designs. Ching functional for more aesthetic and add more lore.

[@SquidRon]

[@notleviathan855]

I've tried getting into minecraft again recently, and most of my worlds have ended once I made a house, farm, and gotten iron tools. Mostly because, there is not really much else to do, no story to explore. Recently, I've downloaded a modpack that makes minecraft alot more high fantasy. Dragons, Knight Armor, NPCs that actually do stuff, pre-generated castles, and even AI that you can upgrade to be like knights and stuff. This is the first world in months that I've spent more than a couple days on, and am going a two months strong. I've built farms, houses, recruited knights, started slowly expanding out, getting more resources, and I've been enjoying every second if it. Vanilla Minecraft is just that, Vanilla. But, you can always add your own toppings to make it you.

[@danielduncan6806]

7:10 This is the problem with most people. Most people incorrectly believe they are creative. And then when tested they get depressed because they are nowhere near as creative as they thought they were. This comes from the fact that creativity is not innate; it is something one must acquire through time and effort. Imagination is a "use it or lose it" affair. You exercise your imagination at a young age, and you keep with it all the way through your life. If you stop at any point, you can kiss your imagination goodbye.

[@LordAxalon]

I have two mega builds going, well I started my second one because I wanted to build underground for once. It's not something I've really done so I thought it would be fun with the cave and cliffs update. I'm currently burnt out on both at the moment, but I've started doin bits of terraforming above ground. Decided to clean up the area and work towards building a dock, which will be attached to farm area. A few warehouses, farm house, a few ships maybe. So I'm slowly getting back into building again, I keep going from one project too the next, then go back again. Rinse and repeat, going on 5 years I think but I've had a lot of big breaks. Video was great, keep up the good work.

[@richardtrager7125]

So true about the mutiplayer server turned into a single player world. The world I'm currently playing in was once a server that had 7 friends but now only I stayed, its quite sad seeing their abandoned bases just sitting there waiting for me to go in and loot for materials that they had left over

What worked for me is downloading Chunky, it lets you make isometric renders of selected chunks. I just keep rendering the same chunks (my village) to see my builds get added. Its super motivating! I have a little GIF of every render, showing the evolution of my town
